I just finished reading my RACER magazine article on Dale Jr. Is D.E.I. done once Martin Truex, Jr. leaves?

May be...

Yeah, I read the same article, it will definitely be hard if Truex Jr jumps ship to another team, he is the top guy there but I think they are behind, thats another reason Dale Jr left, its all about technology and having the best engineers and "people" . I hate to see the team go down the drain after all Dale Sr wanted it to go to his kids someday.. Only time will tell, but if Truex Jr doesn't think he can win with DEI equipment, I would not be surprised at all to see him leave. Hopefully the team will be around by the time Jeffrey Earnhardt get to Cup..Yep only time will tell...Teresa its time to spend some $$$$$$$.

Go Dale Jr & Hms

it would be sad but i dont doubt it... dei lost a ton of money when they lost junior he may not have been winning races but he was the best... that would suck if dei shut down

YES!!!!!

DEI can't survive much longer. I don't see Teresa selling to investors and losing control.

The only way DEI can survive is with Menards billions. The team could be a good investment and I could see Teresa's good friend Menard taking over. He happens to be a good friend of Tony Stewarts too. Hmmmmmm.

Well.... they lost Jr. are losing Mark Martin, and IF Truex does leave then I'll say things don't look good for them. Even though they will have Almirola in the #8 full time next year, it still doesn't look very good when an organization loses their 2 best drivers in only 2 years. If Truex does leave their only hope in my opinion is to snag another full time cup driver such as Newman or Mears.

DEI will be good to go when Jesus Hernandez, Trevor Bayne, and Jeffrey Earnhardt get in cup. Those guys have crazy talent and are tearing up the Camping World East Series...I can't wait too see them in Cup, hopefully they can help get DEI turned around.

I would say so, they need to hire someone big over there. Paul Menard and Regan Smith have been busts but I think Aric Almirola will keep them afloat until someone big comes along.

It all depends on how Aric Armadillo (lol) does once he gets in the cup series. Also if sponsors start becoming uneasy with DEI's performance then yea I think it is pretty reasonable to say that DEI may become a museum (as Tony Stewart put it).

One thing that may have a positive effect on DEI is if Jeffrey Earnhardt steps up and performs well and "T" tries to rush him into a drivers seat. That may keep sponsors interested long enough for DEI to hang in there.

That is a lot to hope for. It would be like flipping a coin. Things might work out and things might not. It doesn't look promising from an outside perspective.

Yea i think DEI is a sinking ship if M.Truex leaves and with the talent they have the will be done unless they get someone to fill the seats of both of the jrs.

Pretty much, we'll see if Aric Almirola can keep the company alive.
