Theresa Earnhardt dating John Menard?
Quote selected text Published November 30th, 2006 in NASCAR News
Theresa Earnhardt has been seen with Menard’s owner John Menard Jr. (pictured right) on multiple occasions in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Rumor has it the pair were together more romantically than business wise.
The owner of Menard’s one of the biggest Home improvement centers in the Midwest has been active in motor sports having founded Team Menard’s. Paul Menard is scheduled to drive for Theresa Earnhardt moving up full time to Cup from the Busch Series. His car will be sponsored by his dad John Menard Jr.
If the rumors are true this would be the first romantic hookup for Theresa Earnhardt since the death of her Husband Dale Earnhardt Sr. in February 2001. The reclusive Ms Earnhardt generally shuns the media and prefers a much more subdued existence than is generally available in the world of NASCAR.
- Reports: Menard maybe looking to move to Yates?
- Menards may move sponsorship to Penske in ‘08
- Andretti to make COT debut in Phoenix
- Menard may leave DEI
- Menard denies leaving DEI but?
so thats how paul menard got a ride…lol just kidding he can wheel a race car as welll just helps when ur daddy is a high executive CEO
No Paul Menard got a ride cause he proved in the Busch North that he was talented enough to drive. He’s a great guy and Just because Teresa Earnhardt is dating his father doesn’t mean ANYTHING so get over yourself! Teresa has had it rough and she should move on… I mean she can’t live the rest of her life without someone cause she’s a widow and she went through a hell of time losing the greatest man in the world. So for all the folks that are thinking Menard got a ride cause they are dating then your just stupid and you must not be watching NASCAR quite like you say you do!
miss jessica did you not read the part when he just kidding
good for Teresa. I’m glad she’s moving on, it’s about time! And she should get the respect she deserves. I don’t blame her for shunning the media, I would too, knowing that there are people out there that are going to say stupid crap like Darrell just did (comment #1)! If not respect for her, how bout respect for her late husband!
thats crazy……
hey who cares she is a grown women, her love life has no part of racing. any nascar fan should know she gave alot to racing. show a little respect. oh also pauls been racing for a long time, joke or no joke she had nothing to do with it, paul and his father did. pauls driving and yes dads money.
she gave alot to racing? she is going to ruin dei for jr and all team members dale sr would be rolling in his grave if he knew the shit she has done to dei hell i wouldnt be surprised if jr quit his fathers racing team because of her stupid acts it was a mistake to leave teresa in charge
actually Theresa has been a part of DEI long before Sr’s death. She ran alot of the behind the scenes while Dale raced, so check your facts.
Good for her if it’s true. I’m sure it’s been hard on her since Dale’s death. She needs to have a life besides racing and if she can find love again I’m sure Dale would want it that way. He probably would have already moved on. Men tend to do so before women. Good Luck Theresa.
Amen to Kaci’s comment!!!!! Get married, sell DEI to Junior, Kelley and Kerry or whatever so DEI can become
competitive!!!!! None of us care what Theresa does in her personal life!! Only what happens to DEI!!!!!!!
Well Theresa had to find another money making machine somewhere since her last well is drying up. I mean seriously, would she be seen with one of the drivers of a team hauler? You know the answer to that one.
i agree with warren too. she needs cashflow from somewhere. audie she may have played miniscule role in the team while sr was alive but she has shot dei to hell i mean what kind of idiot would split up jr and eury jr like she did sr would have had a fit if he knew that had happened so yeah let her get married i do not care what she does in her personal life but she needs to let a real earnhardt handle the family business
Dale Jr is the man! I wish he win championship soon.
Go Dale. Boo Teresa.
Busweiser leave with Dale Jr. Good now.
TE and JM dating is a nobody’s business but their!!
She needs cashflow are you fricking kidding…
TE has enough cash to burn a Budweiser soaked Tracker Boat.
War…Jr in a Bud #3 in 08
Theresa can do whatever she wants..
It’s about time you start living again..
YOU GO GIRL!
I think teresa has done a good job with dei, she dont need no money shes rich as
hell, and dale jr is not as good as his dad and never will be..
WHO CARES ABOUT THERESA ANYWAY,DALE WILL DO FINE WITH OR WITHOUT HER.MENARDS DEFINEATLY GETTING HIS RIDE DUE TO HER
JESSICA LAY OFF THE CRACK PIPE HONEY
if you look at last year’s busch series point standings after homestead, you will see paul menard was the highest finishing non busch wacker. he can drive and who cares who she dates? sale is gone and if she don’t let junebug handle the operations side of dei and make sure ritchie gilmore is over the engine shop then it wont make a damn anyway.
I wouldn’t put too much faith in a reporter that can’t event spell the name of the subject of his story correctly!
And Kaci…you need to get your facts straight: “what kind of idiot would split up jr and eury jr”….ummm, that was Teresa’s first attemp at letting Dale Jr. make a decision on his own. How’d that work out??? Not too good!
i have been saying all year teresa has been with john, everyone is just kinda slow to pickup in this sport, the best thing for teresa to do is back her bags , hookup with john and take that be boat that sr. bought her and move to monaco. that way she is out of north carolina where she is not wanted anyway. she might be tommy houstons daughter and she be a good business lady but she is a very sad owner, kevin said it earlier this year teresa is a deadbeat owner, and she does not deserve to be president and owner of dei. maybe thats why everyone is leaving, and it isnt because of jr. leaving either. i have known this lady for 12 years and i never did like her. she is one very selfish lady. so teresa pack your bags and hand over the reigns to a real earnhardt.
jessica you need to get over your self!! please,taylor will be the only child that ever sees and of dale sr money- if her high-ss doest’t blow it all aor her new piece of meat doesn’t use it up. i hate that sr is dead but he and jr are better off without her. and someone needs to give a name of a good speech coach. (her voice just grates on my last nerve)
I used to work for the Menards company and have never known a more crooked bunch of people. The facts are out there when it comes to OSHA and the EPA going after Mr Menard. If memory serves me right he has also been married multiple times with quite a few kids from each marriage, and each one of them has benefited from the last name but only to lose in the end. Some of the ones I have met are decent but as for John and his brother, who is high up in the company, I would just warn people to be careful when dealing with this family. I only speak from personal experience, as for Ms Earnhardt I only know what I have read and therefore have no opinion on her.
Quote from and article on Menard:

“Bropst recounts horror stories of how other employees were handled.
One involved a North Dakota Menards store manager. The manager’s wife had triplets that came early and required special attention at the University of Minnesota Medical Center. The manager spent a small fortune on plane fare commuting back and forth. He still worked 35 to 40 hours, but his contract required a minimum of 55 a week, so his weekly pay dropped from $1,000 to $500 or $600, Bropst says. “Two of the babies didn’t make it, and John (Menard) fined him $2,000 [out of his bonus] because he had to bury two of his kids and didn’t put in 55 hours those two weeks.”
Sounds like a stand up guy to me.
thought I was in a theresa fan club at first. glad to see the real nascar fans come out. Theresa hasn’t a clue what she is doing. The kids should be running things and she should just sit back and collect here widow’s portion. If she would have spent the time and effort into the cars then jr and the rest would have been top in the field. I feel sorry for mark martin riding in the 8 and knowing that jr should be there. When is she going to take the hint and leave nascar?
