Hold on Jr. fans...speculations are that tomorrow during his 11am press conference he will announce he is leaving DEI. Truex is going with him. He and Truex will run next year for JR Motorsports and use Hendrick built engines. Woah. Again this is all speculation, but multiple news agencies are reporting close to the same thing... Can I nominate Teresa for dumbass of the year now?

I nominate her for the same award. She sucks as an owner and she has no clue how to run a business. Jr. and Truex are smart for leaving if this is true. If Big E was still around none of this would be happening.

Now I have also heard that Jr. will not be announcing where he will go (Charlotte Observer), what he will do next year. Think of him as a "free agent" Wow... Jr. the sport's most popular driver 4 times running a free agent. If Sr. were around DEI would be a little more on top of things. He needs to reach down and smack Teresa upside the head. DEI was built to ensure the success of Sr.'s children...so much for that. I wonder who DEI will try to get for when they leave.

She should try and get Kenny Wallace to race for her. He sucks. LOL.

Awwww..but I like Kenny. When I was at Bristol he put on a Jr. shirt in front of the Race Day crowd. It was pretty cool. Maybe some of the current Toyota drivers will be fed up with Toyota to go drive for DEI. I am sad to *possibly* see the #8 go. What number will Jr. drive? Is there still a # 08 available?

Yeah, I would hate to see the #8 go too. The only thing about Kenny that's cool is he's funny as hell. Not quite as funny as Waltrip, but he's funny. Most of these guys race just for the money. They don't care about winning. I think about maybe 10% of the drivers today race to win. Back in the day I think the percentage was much higher.

Hey, has Waltrip even qualified for a race this year. He really sucks. LOL. I think the whole Toyota team with the exception of Vickers isn't that good. Dale Jarrett doesn't count. He's just getting old. He won the Winston cup in 99, so he's had his day.

Again so true. I could see DEI reaching out to a younger driver like Vickers and even pulling at DJ to come over. Poor Mickey. I miss his after race talks where he mentions every sponsor on his car. I enjoyed that. I am just very disappointed the Jr. might be leaving. I can't wait to see what Darrell has to say about this whole situation.
