    Chevy was afraid it was too much of a chick car??? Not manly enough?

    Musta been the 4th of July, Apple Pie and "Bangers and Mash" just didn't fit in???

    This makes sense if you think about it. Even if the MINI was his POV, the fact that he owns and drives one is a passive endorsement for MINI. I could see Chevy not liking that.

    Do you think he actually paid for she Corvette and truck he mentioned? He was and still is a Chevrolet driver, they spend bucket loads of money to have him represent...Now why would they want him seen driving anything but a Chevrolet, be it a Mini or a Ferrari? The latter of which he could easily afford along with any other car made... Do you see him in those, so do you really think he would rather drive a Chevrolet? LOL ;)

    Well, as a NASCAR driver I think as long as he is not driving a Ford or a Toyota, GM would not be to harsh. Still, sponsorship money is I am sure a consideration.

    I know two people on the "inside" of the Dale Jr organization. I'll see if I can get an answer and report back.

    Don't know for sure who she is but, clearly back in the day, "Diamond White" was this girl's best friend...

    There was another Bunn. Sort of an odd duck. I was never totally sure of the gender. That would be Pat Bunn.....:D
