Dale Jr.

(1/2) > >>

GBORN:
I think Jr. will go to RCR.  However, I don't think he'll be driving the black #3.  I think an agreement will be made to give DEI (Dale Earnhardt Inc.) the #3 and let Jr. take the #8 to RCR with him.  His father had 5 championships with Childress and it seems like the right move for Jr.  It is too bad his stepmother couldn't reach and agreement with the legend's son to keep him at DEI.

 

Jay:
Dale has enough cache to do his own thing and get his own sponsors.

Any team he drives for he would want co-ownership. Can't see that happening so he needs to go solo. Of course, most of his relatives at DEI are coming with him to JR, so the team mangement is already in polace. He only needs sponsors.

Tyler:
I agree with Jay.  I think he's looking to do his own thing and create a dynasty like his father did.

He'll definitely have the sponsors.  Budweiser has indicated that they want to go with him.  I think in the future he will definitely own his own Cup team.  I just don't think it will be next year.  Although Senior owned and ran DEI, he still drove for another owner (Childress).  Look at the troubles Michael Waltrip has had this year being an owner/driver (of course he's driving a Toyota).  In anycase, it will be interesting.  GO JUNIOR NATION!

Waltrip and Toyota.

Yikes.

That's an entire thread unto itself.
