nutz4bucks Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Re: Could Junior leave DEI? Anything is possible!!!!But my guts are telling me he will stay.

dg Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Re: Could Junior leave DEI? The way he improved getting back with the gang this year, I'd say he'll give it a chance. If this year isn't promising, I can see a change. He knows he can't beat Dad in championships, but he wants to carry on the name as a champion real bad. Now I'll read he article!

dg Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Re: Could Junior leave DEI? OK, he's not worried about a contract. Please! His love for the red Budcar will pass if he has the right people and equipment around him. The Bud car is all he knows in cup. But he'll jump ship if he has to. I would love to see him driving for Childress myself. I hope he jumps.....! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She would be crazy to let him walk and Sr.would roll over in his grave. I would say the ball is in his court with the fan base he carries for DEI and Budweiser but chemistry is everything when it comes to performance.

Nick Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Re: Could Junior leave DEI? An Earnhardt in anything other than a Chevrolet? Get real!!! Especially a Toyota. Speaking of Earnhardt SR rolling over in his grave....I think he already did when Toyota came into Nascar. To be honest....I don't think Theresa should have any say so in what he does. How often do you see her at a race and who would she be if she weren't the widow of SR? Heck, shes not even the mother JR and DEI was basically established by SR to give JR a race team and car to drive. Think about it......"Dale Earnhardt released (fired) from Dale Earnhardt Inc."

spyderpancake Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Re: Could Junior leave DEI? Seems kinda hypocritical for Teresa to criticize Junior for not giving enough effort toward being a driver when she appears to be the owner who gives the least effort to be at the track to lead her team. I love DEI, but I think maybe it would be better to 1. Have Richie Gilmore take over the whole operation or 2. Merge with RCR somehow while still keeping its identity. I think Earnhardt is one of the smartest people in the business, I get the feeling that DEI would not miss a beat without StepMa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowhntr Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Re: Could Junior leave DEI? [ QUOTE ] Well he owns the company and i doubt he would leave it! [/ QUOTE ] Actually no....Theresa owns the company, Jr. is a "paid employee" I don't think Jr will leave DEI...yet. I mean it is his namesake and I think he feels that he owes DEI another championship won by an Earnhardt. He may jump but I don't think it will be for a few years and it wouldn't surprise me to see him and RCR team up later in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Re: Could Junior leave DEI? If he did jump ship wouldn't it be cool to see him in a black #8 driving for RCR with Team Realtree as the main sponsor!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VABuckSlayer Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Re: Could Junior leave DEI? He wants part ownership... that's part of the reason the negotiations are slow going. I don't think Teresa wants to give it up. She may see Jr. trying to eventually run her out and then where does she go? She'll be nothing. At the same time... if she loses Jr. to another team... she has NOTHING!!! Tough situation. I'd personally love to see him go to Childress and run the Black 3 car myself (even if it has to be Budwiser as the sponser). Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Re: Could Junior leave DEI? If Junior were to leave he could EASILY start up his own teams, he has that name. He could be DEI2 if he wanted to be. You lose him Teresa you might as well close the doors and that is the honest truth!! He should be part owner I think!
