it has nothing to do with DEI or Theresa,
folks are just buying up merchandise because
it’s going to be collectors’ items!

She is a business woman and she is making millions on merchandising. She still gets the big cut on the #3 merchandising. Any use of Sr’s name goes to her. I think that oncwe Jr is in another car and someone else is in the #8 if any, the merchandise will be gone for Jr in DEI. Then as in alot of drivers cases changing owners and numbers, the #8 will just be another old car number and worth what you pay for it or less. Jr is not a champion and only won like 17 races, so he is just among the “good” drivers even though as he uses the name “Earnhardt” makes him popular. Like many say if his name was Smith in the #8 car he would just be another “average” driver and alot less popular. Truex doesn’t sell that much merchandise and i doubt he ever will.

You’re right, as long as Theresa is the head of DEI and continues to do what she does then DEI is not even worth talking about.

All of Jr.s loyal fans just trying to get a piece of the last good thing that will come out of DEI. Next season we will all have to buy a new number and color and DEI will a memory to most of us. Some will still remain loyal to DEI because Sr. built it. They will soon tire of seeing Sr.’s legacy ran in the dirt and will soon follow Jr. because he will be the last reaining link to Sr. I know DEI just signed Kerry’s son but bt the time he is ready to move up to Cup racing or even Busch there won’t be much of DEI left exept maybe memories. Hey maybe he could drive for JRMotorsports!!!
