He earned everything he has. Teresa said he could have the #8 if she could have some of the proceeds from sales of his many items. He said no, GOODBY TERESA I for one wished JR. could take over DEI, it did not happen so I wish him all the best for the next years. He earned everything he has.

Personally Im a Petty (Richard & Kyle) fan, so I never got into the whole Sr/Jr thing, and the true fans I can stand its just the bandwaggoners that I cant stand.

And by someday I mean in the next 5 years. A lot of people focused on Jr wanting 51% majority ownership, and that Teresa wasn't willing to give it. Well Jr was never asking her to leave DEI altogether, but rather he wanted a bigger stake in not only what his father started, but what he was about to bring to the company. Due to stubborness, now Teresa nor DEI will benefit from any of Jr's future earning power. It wasn't wrong for Jr to look around and say "hey I am DEI right now." I want a bigger stake." Now Rick Hendrick will benefit from deals with Sony, Adidas, etc. It didn't have to be that way, but the rich will get much richer instead of DEI joining Hendrick as a top tier team. JR Motorsports and Dale Jr will do just fine, he didn't really need to inherit DEI, he just probably wanted to. He would have actually been doing Teresa a favor and fattening her pockets. Instead she will probably be forced to sell the team within 2 years or so.[/quote] Amen !!!!!!!! Dark Knight wrote:

Obviously u never saw any races Kyle ran in the late 80's early 90's, he was very good. Then look at Micheal, he didnt do good until he got with DEI and won 2 Daytona 500's. And Fisha is right, their names are Ralph Dale Earnhardt. As for Jr., hes been my favorite since the busch series when he started, I hope Fisha is right and agree that it may happen, that Jr. will someday take over DEI.

Oh and BTW I know people that know Jr and have been around him during this tiem, and it wasnt so much him wanting the company, it was Kelly wanting the company.

Look Kyle Petty didnt always drive for his dads team, and many other father/son/family teams have split up and gotten back together in the future. Dale, Kerry, Kelly will all get controll of DEI when the time is right, and as of now the time isnt right.
