I bet Dale Sr would not have tolerated her actions if he were still with us. It is a crying shame that Jr can't drive for the company that his own dad built for him, his sister and brother. Teresa should realize that DEI is not "her" legacy and come to her senses.
If you ask Theresa, SHE built DEI... She is a shrewd business woman for sure... but you'd hope she'd let Jr. take it over... Oh well...

Jr's thinking of the new cash from new sales of stuff with #5 on them!!

I think Dale will be driving the Dud Light Car for a year since DEI still has a contract until the end of the season (2008) I believe Hendricks will work a deal with DEI on switching the 5 for the 8 since there is a strong possibilities that Kyle Busch will go to DEI! !

Not to cast a cloud over the thread...but ironicaly... I ran across a link that was the official investigation of Dale's SR's crash. Talk about detailed.. They did not leave a single stone unturned.
