Does Dale Jr. Need More Man-Love?

This from Lars' Anderson's SI.com article on Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s decision to leave the DEI racing company owned by his step-mother Teresa Earnhardt.

[Dale] simply did not feel appreciated by Teresa. It doesn't matter if he is the most popular guy in NASCAR; he still wants to be appreciated by his boss. He wants an owner who is going to be there at the track each weekend, which Teresa hasn't been. He wants an owner to give him a big bear hug in Victory Lane like Rick Hendrick does to his drivers.

The world of heterosexual homoeroticism is an amazing thing. But it's evident from this quote that Lars Anderson believes that Dale Jr. needed a little more man-love in his life. Not being a man herself, Teresa Earnhardt just couldn't give that to him. But if Teresa really had appreciated Dale Jr., she might have HIRED a big strapping guy to give Dale Jr. a bear hug after his victories. There must be some sort of service for that in North Carolina. Maybe a little massage too.
