NASCAR - Good Luck, Jeremy. You'll need it!

Not that is big news or anything, but it's now "official" that Jeremy Mayfield has signed on with Bill Davis Racing for the next three years beginning with the 2007 season. Given what went down between him and Ray Evernham this season, you can't blame him for wanting out of Evernham Motorsports. but, let's be honest here. Jeremy's a moron for signing with BDR. I know, I routinely bash them, but let's take a look at that group's performance. Michaael Waltrip, while admitedly distratced with his own team preparations for next year, is having a disastrous season with BDR. He's fallen out of the Top 35 and failed to qualify for his first race (well, second, really, but he bought another car's points for Charlotte in May) in like tens years back at The Brickyard. Dave Blaney? He's sitting pretty...in 29th overall. While things change from year to year, BDR teams haven't come anywhere close to contending for a championship, much less a spot in the Cahse in who-knows-how-long. They haven't won a Nextel Cup race since 1999. Need I say more?

Odd that BDR is doing very well in the truck series, though....

So, I really wish Jeremy a lot of luck the next few years. I just wonder how long before he starts bad-mouting BDR. It's going to be painful to watch.
