I dont have a link..

Dale and Truex will annunce Thursday they are leaving DEI and both will drive for JRMotorsports, Dale JR's team.

Hendrick Motorsports will supply JRMotorsports with its cars and engines, basically adding 2 more teams to the Hendrick stables without breaking the NASCAR 4 team limit.

So is he still going to be number 8 or will that stay with DEI?That probably stays with the team (DEI). It'd be nice if Chidress would give up number 3.

Well, I guess Junior brings a load of sponsorship with him, but he's not exactly that impressive as a racer.

That's the funny thing about NASCAR fans. They hate Jeff Gordon who actually is talented, but they looooooooove Junior who barely has a fraction of JG's talent.

I think his problems are machinery, not talent.

DEI is going in the wrong direction and thats why he wanted 51% ownership so he could control the company and save his fathers empire.

Sadly Teresa will continue destroying DEI and it will be nothing more then a small level team.

With Hendrick or Childress machinery, Jr could be very very good.

She's doing exactly what she's setting out to do. Run in the middle of the pack and sell a lot of t-shirts and memorabilia.
