JR PRINCE 4/27/07: Hey Smokey, what do you think about this combination - Jr. & Gibbs?

SECRETARY 5/9/07: Or let's try this combo - Jr. & Hendrick?

CANDY38 5/10/07: It's possible (to have Jr. at Gibbs) and it would probably work good. Jr. is already good friends with Tony!

ASHLEY: NO WAY (could Jr. be at Hendrick) - Could you see Kyle and Jr. as teammates? And anyways, I can only see one fitting combination for my heart - Jr. & RC

CM: He has (the close(st) ties with RCR.

SCHRUB 5/11/07: You bring up a good pt but he's also good friends with Harvick

JR PRINCE: Hell no! I can't see Kyle and Jr. together. Ya know, RCR is a good spot though as you stated since he does get along with all of the drivers there.

CAPTAIN: Didn't J.D already say somethin about the fact that he didn't know if it'd work due to their issues with alcoholic sponserships?

GORDON PRINCE: Ok, how do you know a Hendrick connection wouldn't work? What if he's connected to Hendrick through Ginn Racing?

TRUEX PRINCE 5/15/07: I think RCR would be fitting and that is one place I hope he is truly considering. But on the other side of things, I believe DEI will continue to be a top team even after he leaves. The people that are working in the shops are magical and they have the drive to do well.

BIF 5/17/07: Yes he did but teams will do anything to get Jr. On the topic of DEI, what would you think if they switched to Ford and joined the Yates/Rouch attack?

DAN 5/18/07: That's possible but I still don't think it's possible. Jr. with Hendrick? That'd be the end of the world. I still believe Gibbs is the spot. He gets along well with Tony & Denny. It'd be perfect!

MATTY: Well, now it'd be interesting if he does go with RCR due to their alliance with DEI now. Wow, this is twisted.

RICKY HENDRICK PRINCESS 5/24/07: Didn't you see that race at Texas Ash? But anyway, Rick has already announced that he has no room in the inn for Jr. L BTW, let's forget about RCR & Gibbs for a moment. What about Ginn?

SECRETARY 5/26/07: Meh, I think it'd work (with him at RCR) though because in his announcement he said that he still wanted to stay connected to DEI so that's one way he can.

ASHLEY 5/28/07: It's definately possible (to have Jr, at Ginn). I mean, I know Jr. would get along with Mark and Sterling and probably also Joe. Bobby Ginn has stated that he has talked to Kelley but now to Jr. yet.

JR PRINCE: But he didn't mean that way (with staying connected to DEI). What he meant was he wanted to continue to work with them on projects that would benefit everyone. So I don't see your point exactly but I think this was a good move for DEI (to team up with RCR). I mean, I don't understand why they broke RAD up to begin with.

MOUSE 5/29/07: I don't know. I mean, ya gotta look at Hendrick right now before you can truly ponder that thought.

GORDON PRINCE: Well that's a good start. First ya talk with the boss...then the driver. And anyways, anybody peer in before the all-star race? Jr. was talking with Sterling and then Joe.

JR PRINCE 5/31/07: Remember, they're friends so don't think much more. And Jr. said he wanted to see if he could work well with the other drivers so maybe he was seeking them out. But I wouldn't see much into it yet. I mean, they said they won't announce anything till July.

ASHLEY 6/1/07: Till July! Oh god, let craziness take my soul.....

JR PRINCE 6/1/07: He's got a good friendship with them (Nemechek & Sterling) so stop making a big deal out of it. And anyways, it may be part of his investigation of Ginn since the talk was that during the past week his sister was talking with Bobby Ginn. I mean, they'll be lots of talk around the garage between Jr. and fellow drivers probably but the cameras may only catch part of it.

TRUEX PRINCESS 6/3/07: Teresa a strong woman. She's an awesome person to lead DEI and I think she'll lead DEI to new heights despite Jr. leaving the team.

TRUEX PRINCE 6/6/07: Definately. I mean, the people within the walls of DEI are strong individuals who work hard and they will continue the legacy.

CM 6/7/07: True and she has also done well leading DEI to this point. But in my mind I believe that Jr. should get DEI and she has done wrong not giving him at least a percentage of the ownership. Dale Earnhardt built it for the kids so why can't one of the kids get a piece?

JR PRINCESS: DEI has gotten through bigger obstacles and they'll fight this one off. But on the other end of the circle it'll be interesting how everything shakes down. Anyways, we're at Square 2 and a half - we know he's leaving DEI and he wants a chevy team. Think positive!

KITTEN 6/11/07: Why a Chevy team? I mean, ok they have the dominance this year but Everingham has an awesome organization and so does Penske. Doesn't he understand either camp will work good? I mean, all the cars will be equal next year so manufactuer won't matter.

JR PRINCE 6/12/07: He's dedicated to Chevy and that's the end of this discussion because tomorrow is DECISION DAY

GORDON PRINCE 6/13/07: Oh I'm positive. I'M HYPER! SAY HELLO TO NEXT SEASON HUNS CUZ GUESS WHAT TEAM JUNIOR WENT TO HENDRICK MOTORSPORTS

ASHLEY 6/18/07: CLOUD NINE

TRUEX PRINCE 6/19/07: Ok, so Hendrick is King of Headlines. But can we get to some of the goodies in the garage? I mean, shouldn't we be talking about a team that is making a charge with two drivers? That team shall be......DEI!!!!!! So everybody thought that DEI would be all for the poops after Jr. left, right? Well, has anybody dared to check the Chase lately? Isn't there a 2nd DEI car in the Chase? Through this I think everybody is going find out how strong DEI is as a team, with or without Junior.

TRUEX PRINCESS: Gordon Prince, what drugs are you on again?

CAPTAIN 6/22/07: It's called the Hendrick-Jr Drugs! Hell, I'm on 'em too.

JR PRINCESS 6/25/07: Hey, leave the partiers alone! Don't be a party pooper!

TRUEX PRINCE: ALL HAIL DW AND SPEED'S RACEDAY! THE RESPECT THAT DALE EARNHARDT INCORPERATED DESERVES IS SHOWING UP!

TRUEX PRINCESS 7/5: Well, it was guaranteed to happen. How can people ignore it?

ASHLEY 12/3: BTW, to add to the idea of "feud" in the title - Dale Jr. & Teresa haven't talked since May. I could see that coming when he decided to leave.

TRUEX PRINCESS 12/18: No surprise. Anyways, I’m not really surprised Jr. didn‘t stay at DEI. I mean, it was kind of set from the beginning that Teresa wasn't going to give him what he wanted. Personally I think asking for 51% is way too much. That's basically hogging it since it's suppose to be split between the kids, when it's their time to get it.

ASHLEY ½/2008: Yet Dale Earnhardt said in 2000 at Rockingham the following quote, "In the grand scheme of things, I'd like Dale Jr. to take over DEI. I'd like my other kids to be involved, but I'd like to see Dale Jr. run the team." It was something close to that but still, that's not the point! The point is Dale Earnhardt, the creator himself, wanted his son to lead the team down the road.

ROCKETKID: Teresa is only trying to keep her rightful spot on top at DEI. She helped build the company; she's just defending that. She is a not a bitch for doing that!

CAPTAIN 1/3/2008: The hatred between them started at a young age and I don't see it ending anytime soon. Let's just hope she doesn't bring DEI down to shame. Hopefully she can keep it somewhat together. There are drivers and crew members there that I don't want to have sink down on that ship with her.

JR PRINCE 1/10/2008: Talking about the shock about it, did anybody see everybody's reaction the day of the press conference? And what about the look in his eyes when he made the announcement? That right there told you that & so much more. It was a big disappointment for him, himself, as that's the family team.

GORDON PRINCE 1/13/2008: But she knew the truth coming in Rocketkid, so therefore that results in her being a bitch.

ASHLEY 1/14/2008: Hopefully his move and the aftermath doesn't damage the careers of great drivers. I mean, both Martin & Aric have good protensil well Mark Martin has been an awesome driver his whole career no matter what team he's with.

CAPTAIN 7/8/07: Anybody have any thoughts on who'll drive for DEI next year? The 8? Tony Eury Jr.? Or Pops leaving DEI for JR Motorsports?

GORDON PRINCE:

1) I'd laugh if it was Kyle driving for DEI
2) The 8 is going to Hendrick Motorsports and nobody is allowed to argue that.
3) Tony Eury Jr. is coming to Hendrick also because we need to reunite the sweepers
4) Pops leaving DEI is a shocker but in some ways not. I mean, moving someone to a position they don't like when they've put hardwork and dedication into the team since it's beginning is unfair. So I'm glad Pops stood his ground on that topic.

TRUEX PRINCE REPLIES TO GORDON PRINCE:

1) Why? What would be so shocking about that?
2) How can you be so sure? It may look like the only way but who says Teresa will give it up?
3) Oh god, not the sweeper theory again. Now if you do that, who will be left at DEI? I mean, is your plan to take the pieces apart?

DAN REPLIES TO TRUEX PRINCE:

1)The shock would be the fact that they just plainly switched rides.
3) And hey, not all the pieces are falling. I mean, these are just two people we're talking about.

TRUEX PRINCESS REPLIES TO DAN

1) Dan, that has happened before. Anybody remember 2002? With DEI also? Steve Park & Jeff Green?
3) But the fact of the matter is people are stressing to take head people away from DEI. A lot of people are demanding the fact of Tony Jr. to go to Hendrick.

JR PRINCESS:

Anybody have any thoughts on who'll drive for DEI next year? I have no clue
The 8? to hendrick
Tony Eury Jr.? to hendrick
Or Pops leaving DEI for JR Motorsports? Love

GORDON PRINCE MAKES A BIG STATEMENT: Tony Jr. & Dale Jr. belong together. Don't dare try and break that up

SCHRUB: And what if they are broken up?

KRISTINA: No, that shouldn't happen. They already had a year apart, and plus they are family. Like they say "Family always sticks together."

CAPTAIN: Damn straight! Plus, looked what happened the time they were apart. Jr. had his worst season ever.

LIL TIGRE’S ANGEL: Definately. That's why I'm glad that Tony Jr. went with him to HMS. It's also nice that Tony Eury is over at Jr Motorsports with Jr too, since we gotta keep the whole Earnhardt/Eury connection together. That started when they were all young and it shouldn't be broken, ever, espically due to somebody whose being a pure bitch. Teresa, in my mind, should be dumped out of DEI for what she's done. The kids should gather together and just kick her out.

KRISTINA: I definetely agree with you. She thinks that DEI is for her. Dale bulit DEI for the all the kids. He had the kids leading the company and getting the teams into victory lane in the future. She only wants the money, but it doesn't work that way.

ASHLEY: Exactly! The team was started back in 1980 since the kids were goin' to racing - it was for them then to start their dreams and it was goin' to be for them when they were older to lead, just like their father. Why can't she understand that?
