<quoted text>heck its rumored Teressa is looking to sell DEI. Honestly DEI with out Dale Jr is what people said it would be a museum. Also rumored is John Menard is looking to get out of DEI and move to Yate's and his son would driver a 3rd car there.

I have heard the rumor. I thought she was just looking for backing. Then again I thought she got that last year from RCR.

I agree DEI isn't DEI w/o JR. I read that thw wicked step monster is puttinh Kerry in a car. I wonder if she is doing it thinking it will save her dumb butt. She should have given JR what he wanted and been done with it. IMO she made a hugh mistake by letting him go. She has proven she can't run the team.

I also have to wonder if she sells what it will do to the shares the kids have.

<quoted text>It is a good thing you don't pick the sponsors. Maybe Bass Pro doesn't want him. Ever think of it that way?

Besides which, Martin's dad owns a party fishing boat which Martin worked on while growing up.

Kerry dosen't have the star power to save her. She better find someone that is willing to drive for her that is a star. Good luck to her, I don't think she will find him.

I really believe if ryan & smoke pair up .
It will be like throwing to male Bettas into the same tank.
They both have strong personality.
I really believe it is not a good match.
Just to let everyone know I like both men.
Just not working together

I was at Dover a few years ago when we all watched Tony approached his crew chief. Thought he was going to kill him and ryan.

I don't believe any of the kids have any share of the company. It's my understanding that Teresa is the sole owner of DEI.

What? Make it a 3 car team? That would be cool.

I know Ryan and Krissie are very good friends with Martin and a buddy of Tony's and they all like to fish and are all well like by Pro Bass. Don't forget Ryan's other buddy Matt Borland is at Stewart-Haas. Personally I still think RCR is a better place but Krissie would not like all the stuffed animals in Richard's office.

I actually feel like they would work well together. I hope Stewart/Haas *does* sign him!

Newman isn't one of my 'favorites', but I actually like him a lot. I'd be happy to root for him!

I recall JR saying he wanted more of the company. That would lead me to believe that the kids have some of the company.

I'm WAYYY out of the loop, but has ANY discussion with Mears taken place? MIGHT be one to look at??

GREAT!! one driver has a fat ass, one has a fat head. they should get along great.

wrong. dale earnhardt's 1992 will, the last will on record, left DEI in sole ownership to teresa earnhardt.

Formed by Dale and Teresa Earnhardt in February of 1980, Dale Earnhardt, Inc. has certainly grown from its humble beginnings. The first "corporate headquarters" was a three-bay garage where Dale had an office. Little more than two decades later, DEI has garnered a pair of Busch Series championships and two Craftsman Truck Series championships.

Some estimate that DEI is currently worth anywhere between 70 and 100 Million.

Thersa holds 100% interest in DEI. Dale Sr. never made arragements to provide any interest in DEI for his children. You know the rest.

I have friends who have been married for yrs . And they are perfect together married!
But you should see them fight over how to change a light bulb. LOL
Sometimes friendship & working together do not mix.
Like I said they are both great drivers.
But you put to head strong men together.
One word (BOOM)

I think Ryan would be better off with RCR.I can't pull for stewart. The team is not even in the top 35 and it will take a year to build that team to a winning team.RCR is a better established team for Ryan.
