Despite a report earlier this week on Page Six, NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon will not be participating in Donald Trump's Celebrity A-list, B-list and Has Beens installment of "The Apprentice.""They contacted me with very little specifics, and I explained that I highly doubt that Jeff would be able to participate because taping coincides with the 'Chase for the NASCAR Nextel Cup,'" [spokesman Jon] Edwards wrote in an e-mail. "I asked for more information before I reviewed with Jeff, and I have received nothing."Even if they do receive something, I seriously doubt Gordon would do it ... what does he have to gain by getting fired by Trump? He's already a successful apprentice and he already gets plenty of tv time. I'm not saying Trump has nothing to offer Gordon, but I don't think he'd be best served by a reality series. Perhaps Trump could give his fellow New Yorker a lesson in real estate.
Now, if a major network really wanted to get serious about putting NASCAR in their primetime reality lineup, it ought to be NASCAR's broadcast partner ABC with "The Bachelor: Dale Earnhardt Jr." I'm not saying Junior would choose to spend the off season taping a tv show, but, he freely admits he's had no success finding a wife:
"I don't really know why I'm not married ... guess I haven't run into too many winners. I've thought ... I mean I'd love to be married and I'd love to have a son running around here getting into trouble, but it hasn't worked out yet."I doubt NASCAR's most eligible bachelor would be up for letting producers choose the woman to bear the Earnhardt's heir, but they're fools if they haven't tried.

Most inspired one there was the "My Big Fat Obnoxious Crew Chief". Because I'd PAY to see veteran drivers having to deal with guys paid to piss them off. Vegas would have fun figuring out if Stewart, Harvick, Montoya or one of the nice guys would deck the obnoxious first.

Great Nascar Reality TV Pitches!!! Dale Jr. seems like a great guy and marraige isn't always a "winner". I think he is smart to take his time and if it happens, then it does. No one should pressure him into it. I'm not so certian marraige is for everyone.

Why would you want to inflict Marriage on anyone?..
If JR wants children, there's no reason to get married. Hire a surrogate, have the sex determined before hand, viola, nine months later, a son will be born.

Wow, the rich keep getting richer, and the dumb keep opening their mouths. What does Jr mean he hasn't met too many "winners", pretty arrogant remark if you ask me. Ain't it funny, a driver with his record is looking for a winner. Maybe he's hoping she will rub off.

perhaps your own experience with women has dulled your senses. i can assure you that i do not smell in any way just because i'm from georgia. we do bathe here just in case you think we are still operating in the last century.i don't know if you're a man or a woman but you are one rude a$$hole

#2 Says, "I've been told I make pretty babies."
Yeah, just what every dude let alone a millionaire is looking for, some broad with a kid on each tit to get ahold of his coin.
Debra go on down to the Home Depot to find yourself a man.
No, it won't be Tony Stewart probably more like Antonio Morales.
He can renovate your double wide.

#10- as i mentioned in #9- i have a job and i don't have a baby on my tit. i don't need any mans COIN, as i have made my way quite nicely for many years without the help of anybody.my comments about jr were made in jest. i can only assume that your negative comments are being made because you're having trouble finding women, even in front of the home depot, since you seem to know so much about it.if however i do feel the need to "shop"for a man i'll be damn sure it's not in the a$$hole department where you and #7 are on display

Wow! Some of the above comments are just plain mean. You are all missing the point of the article and are just attacking some poor woman who made a joke. Jeez....Get over it already and give her a break!
Now, about the article. Donald Trump is the last thing Jeff Gordon or any other race car driver needs. Now there is a guy (Trump) who is a real ass and has no class. Someone should have told him a long time ago, "Money can't buy class!"
TGOM: I agree...Your suggestions for reality TV shows are great and worth a second thought. You should submit those to some networks. :-)
