Wow…spend a couple of weeks away from the news feeds and look what happens! DEI Inc no longer has a DE driving for them!
That’s right, Dale Earnhardt Jr has announced that he will be leaving the company his Pappa founded, which is currently run by his evil step monster.
After watching the very carefully worded press conference, I have a prediction to make. Junior will move to RCR for a couple of seasons, while watching Theresa piss away Dale’s company. Then, just before the bank forecloses on the company, Junior will swoop in to regain control of what is rightfully his. Come visit in 2 years to see if I’m right!

Hi Gary, you know that I can’t let this one go by as I am a huge Dale Jr. fan and you know me, I speck why its important…
While I am disappointed, however I am not really surprised at all, they have been in talk on a contract for about a year and nothing, that told me something a while ago. So in short here it is, Jr will stay with Chevrolet and be either Kevin Harvicks teammate at RCR or Tony Stewart’s Teammate at JGR. Can you imagen this one, either way its time to win races and championships and no matter where he goes, this fan will be right there as I am a Dale Jr fan and that’s it.
See Yeah for the Carnival of Wheels on sunday, this might be a good topic…
Also I hope your wife gets better soon.
Thanks man!
I’m telling you though. I really think this is a very calculated strategic business move that doesn’t really have all that much to do with racing. It’s all about stepping back in order to regain control!
I said the same thing back in February: http://journals.aol.com/thecatfishshow/TheCatfishShow/entries/2007/02/08/dale-jr.s-power-play/2257
And so you did!
I guess I’m in good company

Now that would be cool!
