This doesn't surprise me for a few reasons. Jr has not been happy with DEI's development program, and has wanted controlling interest (51% or better). DEI has been talking to Robert Yates about a possible merger, and switching to Fords. Jr is a die-hard Chevy man, and wants Hendrick's motors. Budweiser will follow Jr where ever he goes, and between them and Chevrolet, he'll have all the financial backing he'll need. What does surprise me is that Truex may go with him. If this all happens, DEI is in deep trouble.

what's trouble? I mean for DEI? Hell, they could have M_Waltrip, heheheh. Nah, I see her selling off DEI and moving in with Paris Hilton... I mean there are enough millions there to live comfortably for a long long long time. I just dont get why she didn't give up some, to keep a big good bunch. Must be that she wants to sell it totaly off anyhow, this way she can nto be accused to selling and dumping the step son. Bob V enlightened us with:

Ever since DEI did the team switch with Waltrip (which was a disaster) for a season, i've been hoping Dale would take Budweiser and go drive for better outfit. DEI is a good house, just not a great one. At the end of the season, the contract ends and Jr is a free agent. Wooo ! I'd like to see him drive for Hendrick a couple years while JR Motorsports grows into a garage on a Cup level. Of course, i wouldn't be surprised to see him in a Childress car either. As far as DEI goes, i have a feeling they're porked now. Not much thunder behind a lost legend, and the step-mom. I wonder if they're doomed to struggle and fade out slowly like the Petty's. Man, this is better than Christmas !
Here's a thought... After DEI tanks, Jr. can buy it for .10 on the dollar :) -Larry "GMpartsguy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
