In case you didn't see it yesterday:

"We've decided it's time for us to move on and seek opportunities to drive for another team in 2008."

With that declaration, Dale Earnhardt Jr. began to end his relationship with the only team he had ever driven for, the Dale Earnhardt Inc. team his late father founded in 1998.

"At 32 years of age, the same age my father was when he made his final and most important career decision, it's time for me to compete on a consistent basis and contend for championships now," Earnhardt said at a news conference. "I believe I'd have my father's blessing."

His decision is sure to set off a bidding war for NASCAR's most popular driver, though Earnhardt said Thursday money will not be the deciding factor in his decision.


Full article.

Wow...that he's leaving the company his father started is really saying something. Clearly internal politics going on there. How Junior didn't get control of DEI is beyond me.

I didn't realize he wanted the company, last I knew he said he was fine with Theresa running it because all he wanted to do was race.
