Sad, the widow wont be able to run the team without them.
Why she didn't want out... sure we will hear later. Or they are making the announcement forcing the issue.
I can promise you this, Chevrolet put up some big money to keep JR from going Ford.

His father would be sick now,this is just one more nail in the coffin for NASCAR they are destroying the sport,which is not really related to Jr. but I hope he is not making a mistake,his sister is running the show for him. I think Tresa is screwed now.:confused:

Being a huge Sr & Jr fan, it's going to be interesting to see how much stuff will be on sale at DEI when were their in two weeks for the Coke 600, will be fun to see Jr's new shop:D
He and Truex will be at Jr Motorsports, supposedly powered by Hendrick motors.
We will be there too. Always a good time. Don't miss Friday and Saturday night street faire downtown Charlotte.
I don't think she gets the concept that Jr. is the draw. Duhh.:idea:

It's amazing what greed will do to people.
It's sad to see that she has ruined a great company founded by one of the best drivers in the history of the sport. Without Jr. and Truex, not to mention Budweiser, DEI will be nothing but a name. She got greedy, unreasonable and now will get exactly what she deserves.
On the plus side the name might be different but DEI will live on with JR's company. With Junior at the wheel and his sister running the business I think this is going to be a great venture for Junior and I'm sorry it took him so long to do this.

With the talks of a DEI and RYR (Yates) merger, and the Yates camp stating they are absolutely sticking with Ford (supplies engines to Rousch and RGM), JR, who is too heavily into Chevrolet, probably wants to stay with the Bowtie. And the $80 some-odd Million he would have to fork out to get controlling interest in DEI would be better spent on his own operation.
With JR and Truex gone, Paul Menard is the only Cup caliber driver left at DEI. And I wouldn't be surprised to see him driving a Ford in the Gordon Camp next year, with a lot of backing to Robby from his Dad.
But hell. This is NASCAR. Most of the rumors, unofficial reports and other Silly Season crap is for publicity or leverage anyway. :rolleyes:

I think JR. will be better off without a biatch in his ear and/or pocket. I hope she goes down faster then a ***** in a ***** house.:D

Hendrick should drop that fag Kyle and put Jr in that car. Supply JR motorsports with cars and engines to get them ready for the future.
Rock on JR!

This is just sickening, and I hope it sin't true. I am a huge Earnhardt fan, both Jr, and Sr, and I always will be. I think this is just another NASCAR ploy, and really hope it isn't true. I'm sure it would be a great move for Jr, but I believe DEI is where he belongs, and where his father wanted him. If it's greed on Theresa's part, then I am all for Jr doing what's in his best interest, and not what she wants. I was hoping it wouldn't come to this, but she has to know that Jr is the only thing holding that company together. W/o Jr, the company is nothing but a name, and won't be worth the building their in. It'll be the start of a downward spiral, which I doubt they'll ever get out of. Maybe then, Jr could get control of the company he rightfuly deserves. This will be interesting...

Good for Jr. Go win some races now. DEI's engine program isn't what it used to be and it's obvious that Hendrick is killing it in the past 3 seasons.

I am just assuming, but I don't think the 8 goes with him.......don't be surprised to see the #3 come back. Original rumor was that he would go drive for Childress and run the #3!
Fans will go nuts for that. I think it would be the best marketing move NASCAR could make.

Until the announcement is made tomorrow, no one will really know what will happen. I notice that everyone thinks that she is a baitch, but could it just be that she is a better business manager than Jr and she knows that he would screw things up? Jr is a market force, decent driver, but it could be that DEI will flourish without Jr. All the experts were convinced that Toyota would dominate Cup racing, yet look at their record. They will probably become a force to deal with eventually, but not this year.

One ting to consider is that soon team owners can only own 4 cars hendrick already has 4.NO room for jr unless he drops one probably mears but jr starts his own team and gets hendrick chasis and power but not driving directly for hendricks.plus budweiser sponsor he now might make it to top 10 :D

Hey read the press realesse he's gping to drive for "JR motorsports" not Hendrick he's just using HMS enigines and chassis. So the new car rule won't apply.

She's been called a dead beat owner. I think the sport is more expensive than ever and needs more cash than she's willing to give up. Toys dominate in the truck series but not so much in cup.

Driver intro
Ladies and gentlemen, Driving the number ?? car for JR motorsports Martin Truex.......
And
Driving the number 3 for RCR Dale Earnhardt jr!!!!!!!!!!!
It seems like Dale sr knew something by not driving for the team he owned, Has any owner/driver ever been sucsessful driving for his own team??
I can hear Theresa's spin on this allready,
Through the contract negotiations it has become appairent that Dale jr no longer wants to be associated with the traditions and legacy left behind by his father....... :rolleyes:

I think his old man would be proud of him... Sr. never struck me as the type of man to put up with crap from anyone, living, dead or related.
I don't know about CRASHCAR, but there have been successfull owner/drivers in other series, I give you the Andretti's, Unsers... that one guy in drag racing... what's his name... oh yeah, 14 time champ John Force...

In a statement, Teresa Earnhardt said DEI will thrive following Junior's announcement.
"While we are very disappointed that Dale Jr. has chosen to leave the family business, we remain excited about our company's future," she said. "Dale and I built this company to be a championship contender, and those principles still apply. Dale Earnhardt Inc. will win. ... This company has a great legacy and a bright future, built on loyalty, integrity and commitment."
Yeah, good luck with that! Everyone knows that Dale Sr wanted JR in that company and she went and messed it up.....I would wager that DEI will cease to exist as a team fielding cars in the cup seires in less than 3 years...

Beleve it. That Biatch has ruined the DEI corp. Im not a sr or jr fan but this might change my mind. Jr basicly closed DEI when he said he was leaving. It just a matter of time. She has no clue what she just did.

05-10-2007, 08:20 AM
Being a huge Sr. fan and then Jr. fan I'm dissapointed for DEI and Jr. DEI doesn't have the resources for Jr. to compete for a championship. Teresa has done nothing, but mishandle this whole thing. I guess she is running the company through her vision not Sr.'s. As much as I'd like to see him go to RCR, I think he's going to probably end up at Gibbs.
