Can Ginn Racing Grab Earnhardt Jr. ?

I was watching this weekend’s LPGA event, the Ginn Tribute (that’s women golf for you NASCAR-only types) and the founder of the tournament, Bobby Ginn was being interviewed between golf shots. Prior to this interview, I had no idea that this was the same Ginn that’s fielding a multi-car team in NASCAR, and this same team is the one trying to entice Dale Jr. join their ranks.

He’s obviously a man of wealth and connections, as he was able to convince Annika Sorenstam (former number one player in the world) to “host” his tournament this year. He was asked during the interview about his decision to go after Earnhardt Jr. and he made it very clear that, given the same opportunity to showcase his organization as other teams have, Earnhardt might be convinced to join Ginn Racing.

I’m not convinced he’s a player in the Dale Jr. sweepstakes, only because he hasn’t fielded a team long enough to have a winning tradition.
