Teresa Earnhardt wants Dale Jr to stay at DEI

Although Teresa Earnhardt doesn’t seem willing to back off her criticism of stepson Dale Earnhardt, Jr’s ‘priorities’, Teresa Earnhardt apparently wants to keep him at DEI. She is also willing to discuss a larger role at Dale Earnhardt Inc. with Dale Jr. as part of the ongoing contract negotiations to keep him at his late father’s company.
“We are moving full speed ahead with negotiations, moving ahead as we normally would,” Teresa Earnhardt said Thursday night in a telephone interview from Los Angeles, where she was promoting the documentary “Dale.”
Asked if she was committed to keeping Junior behind the wheel of the No. 8 Chevrolet, she didn’t waver: “Absolutely.”
Junior’s contract expires at the end of this season, and his status with the company has been in question since Teresa Earnhardt seemingly questioned his commitment in a December article in The Wall Street Journal.
