My money would be on Richard Childress. Great program, good equipment and the Earnhardt legacy. It's pretty pathetic he has to leave the company his father meant him to have. Shame on you, Theresa.

Don't think Jr. is looking for money, think he's looking for a better ride and organization.

I could imagine a teammate of Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson.

I think Teresa cooked her goose or some part of her anatomy here.

Without Jr. DEI will probably cease to exist within 5 years. Since she doesn't seem to be interested in running DEI why didn't she just take more money than she could ever spend and let Jr. take the reins?? She would also have an unlimited income into the future. Now I'm betting she will end up losing money into the future in a team that will go down the tubes.

With Jr.'s unlimited resources to raise money for a team where he could hire away the best from some of the other teams I think he should expand on what he has now -- JRM. Then he could have what he was trying to buy from Teresa.

c ya,

Sum

I know Jr could do his own team, but sure hope he dosen't. Just don't think owner/driver setups work at all, too much on the mind of the owner/driver to worry about. Think the driver just needs to be concerned about keeping the pedal to the metal and let the crew worry about everything else.

Not sure I remember, but I think the car #3 was permanently retired, but don't know, maybe Childress just dropped it for awhile.

One thing I hope Jr. dosen't signup with the Waltrip Toyota team.

Yes, it does appear that Theresa may be shooting herself in the foot.

Jrs. sister handles all the negotiating and business decisions for him. They own a brand new building in N.C. that houses a gift shop, museum, and garage for all his Busch teams and cars. He also owns cars that run on the Hooters circuit and is part owner of a couple of teams that run in the Nascar South Division.
Will he take Budweiser with him like Jarrett and Waltrip did with their sponsors?

Tony Stewart has made no effort in concealing the fact that he is very displeased with Nascar and the direction it's taking. He does not get along with Joe Gibbs son, who runs Gibbs racing now. Tony also owns various Sprint, Champ and Indy Pro teams, along with The Eldora track and is part owners in a couple of others.

Stewart and Earnhardt are real good friends. They are also distant relatives. You think there may be something in the works between the 2 of them? After all, Stewart does have an early out in his contract if he wants to start his own car team ownership. But would Home Depot go with him...?

As the Nascar world turns...

YAWN!

sirstude · May 11, 2007, 12:50:48 AM

Bud said that the contract is with jr and is good through 2008 today.

Dave · May 11, 2007, 06:56:25 AM

Its gonna be interesting I hope he doesnt try a cup team as owner driver. He needs to just drive. I didnt know Tony and him were related? I also didnt know Tony was displeased with Gibbs son? Thanks for the info. I dont follow nascrap that close anymore and havent for quite q while so i miss some stuff. Ive been checking on indy though.. Real race cars dont have fenders just like hot rods..
