Truth be told....Teresa should have never let Jr go. I am certain his father wouldn't have wanted things to turn out the way they have. It's too bad for all. DEI just won't be DEI without the namesake. Who can predict... but I don't think DEI will ever be the same.

I myself think fan reprecussions will eventualy led to DEI being sold by her. Did not earnhardt senior have a few diffent numbers in his carreer.

83 would be a good number for Dale Jr

Combining the 2 numbers would be great for the fans. I bet we see it happen.

Who technically owns the numbers? Does NASCAR hold the rights to the numbers or do they let a team pick whatever number they want?

Nascar owns the numbers and if I'm not mistaken they lease them to the teams.

I don't care one way or another as I can't remember the last time a driver took the number with him.

I hope to see DEI using that number with Kerry's son when he's old enough to be in NASCAR.

Yes, I had considered that. Not sure Red Bull has enough history associated with the number to not be willing to release it. Just have a feeling they have not released what the new number will be yet because of possible negotiations. Time will tell.

Smart move by DEI to say Mark Martin will drive the #8 next year. That will cut down on some of the backlash since most people have a lot of respect for Mark (that he has rightfully earned if I must say).

Let me clarify....

What you said is correct, she is a smart business woman. But business is not always everything. She and Jr. have never gotten along all that well. DEI used to be about family when Sr. was around, now its all about $$$$.

Not that it's surprising though, as the whole of Nascar is mostly about $$$ rather than the racing or the fans.
