Half of something beats all of nothing.
49% probably don't look so bad now. The #8 doesn't even have a sponsor next year, and the #1 is about to not have one either. What ye sow ye shall also wreap. |

I'd say much blame lies with Helton and his ilk. All the faggoty rules and metrosexual drivers have made the sport into nothing but glorified WWF with a dash of chip and dales in many of the oldtimers eyes. I don't even watch anymore. Hit the truck race in May and the busch race in Oct up in Charlotte though. Left both early to party outside though. eta: Busch.....nationwide(I think now).....whatever the hell it's called.

NASCAR sold out their roots to expand their audience and it is catching up. They've neutered the drivers and the cars so every team is equal. Too many rules.

One of our local NASCAR team sponsors is cutting back on the number of races they will run next year.
I think NASCAR will take a severe hit in sponsorships and attendance next year. Golf will also have a rough year. |

So DEI is forming a 4 car team with Ganassi and letting go of a 110 personnel? What the point?
As for Junior's year long whine fest about not being given a 51% controlling share of DEI, he need to grow up and concentrate on driving. DEI was left to Dale Sr.'s WIFE, mother of Dale Sr.'s OTHER CHILD, she has run the company as she sees fit. If it fails so be it, it was hers to break. If his father wanted him to be in control of DEI he should have written his will differently or made diffferent arrangments before he died. |

Agreed. But, it was pretty clear from the way he talked about the team that he was building it for Dale Jr. I guess he just trusted that if anything were to happen, his wife would make sure his wishes were carried out. Bad move apparently

Quoted:
So DEI is forming a 4 car team with Ganassi and letting go of a 110 personnel? What the point? DEI merged with/absorbed Ginn Racing awhile back, to make a 4 car team. They are still overstaffed... only having sponsorship for 1.5 cars next season. Ganassi started '08 as a 3 car team... with the 40, 41 & 42. The 40 team, (including 70 employees) was eliminated back in July... leaving just Target and Texaco for the remainder of '08. Texaco is leaving Nascar altogether in '09... and Wrigleys is stepping up to sponsor the 42 for the 1st half of '09. Target is a solid sponsor for '09 and will remain on the 41 car... The driver is yet to be announced... (Expect to hear something next Monday or Tuesday after the Homestead race.) So... that leaves DEI and CGR both with sponsorships for 1.5 cars in '09... In a nutshell... 3 of the 4 cars in this new partnership are fully funded for 2009. Only one car needs sponsorship... which should be easier to obtain after the merger. The Ganassi facility is well suited for a multi-car team... and is right next to the Concord Airport. Redbull Racing is moving into the old Ginn shop... and DEI headquartes on Rt3 is mainly just a museum anymore... The only thing that makes sense is to move everyone into the Ganassi facility. There is plenty of room. TRUST ME.

I'm sorry to say, as a lifelong motorsports enthusiast and veteran kartracer this saddens me deeply. I hate to say it, but the entire auto racing and auto industry is taking a major dump. Every major sanctioning body is cutting back on its races for 2009, and my level that I can afford to compete in which is karting is taking the biggest hit. I will be surprised if i get to go racing at a national with over 100 entries for my class next season.
FUCK OBAMA!!! I guarantee this asshat will only make things worse for both guns and racing....among other things.
