Dale Jr Says Give me Majority Ownership
During a press conference today, Dale Earnhardt Jr says he wants majority ownership of [tag]DEI[/tag]. Does anyone really think that Teresa Earnhardt will really give Dale Jr majority ownership in Dale Earnhardt Incorporated? Is this the same as saying I’m out?
During Thursday’s media day at Daytona International Speedway, when asked about his ongoing contract negotiations with Dale Earnhardt Inc., Junior suddenly blurted out that he wants majority ownership of the team founded by his father, promptly got up from his seat and walked away without further comment.
“The main factor is the ownership part,” Junior said. “It has nothing to do with money and nothing else really. I would really like my team, I like how things are going. … The motors are improving, everything is on an upswing. My father has been gone for almost six years now, I want majority ownership.” Source: ‘Majority ownership’ bottom line for Junior
This is probably a good move by Jr, get everyone thinking about a big price tag, this way, he can get even more money if he jumps ship and goes somewhere else. If I was Jeff Gordon or his owner, Rick Hendrick, I would be putting a bug in Jr’s ear right now, how cool would it be to have a couple of the hottest Nascar drivers driving for you…
