From the Weege
We had a short discussion at Red Bud about Jason Lawrence's career prospects. At one point, a few of us thought he may have trouble getting a team to hire him, but then we realized that talent and speed and a SX number-one plate are the hottest commodities in this business. He will be back on the track somewhere down the road, and he will have good support doing it.
A few votes went out for a crazy team of Chad Reed and Jason on all-black Hondas, maybe backed by Carey Hart or even the Metal Mulisha. They'd both be sporting number-one plates, and if you're looking for buzz, well, Reed's contract status and Lawrence's 'issues' are the hottest topics this summer. And now neither of them are even racing!
But the reality is this: no matter what team Lawrence ends up on, you will see a press release about it saying two things:
1) He's using this as a positive.
2) He's in the best shape of his life.
And now that the apology is out we already have A) taken care of. Look for the best shape of his life PR in a few months.
Propers out to The Crown AMG marketing group who emailed out the apology today. They really tried to make it sound like Lawrence wrote that. That group has always done a good job of promoting what they have. J-Law's agent Scott Sepkovic, for example, has never done anything but compliment us on the stuff we write/say about J-Law. The man knows that to promote J-Law properly, bad press is good press.
Although it might be so bad right now, they'll have to try to turn it into a positive.

You come off like a dick.
Keep kissing Bubba's butt and realize that it's too late to diss Lawrence since he already ignored you first.

The J-Law one was just longer.
Nice effort though.
All this other petty bs seems to be MUCH more relevant.
jasons main problem, like so many others is alcohol. it's not drugs or weed or lack of commitment...it's booze. possibly the worst drug ever discovered by man if you can't control it..
i hope he kicks it and comes out swinging and resumes his racing career, and for you guys enjoying this...oh well, nevermind.
