Who’s racing where and just exactly when did Teresa E. and Bobby G. start talking merger and controlling interests? Before or after the Teresa Tango with stepson Dale Jr.? Ginn had a lot to bring to the table - Mark Martin and lots of shiny new (costly) equipment
Let’s see who’s driving for who this weekend?
Dale Earnhardt Jr. is still driving DEI with Martin Truex Jr. and Paul Menard this weekend at Indy.
Kyle Busch is still driving Hendrick Motorsports with teammates (yes, they still consider him a teammate, at least that’s what Jeff Gordon said in Pittsburg a couple of weeks ago) Gordon and Jimmie Johnson.
Mark Martin and Regan Smith are, uh, well, at DEI, but Bobby Ginn is listed as the car owner.
Sterling Marlin and Joe Nemechek are out in the cold and you may as well add Smith to that bunch for all intents and purposes.
The Ginn merger maxes out DEI with four Cup teams.
Wasn’t it the beginning of the current NASCAR season Bobby Ginn said he was in this for the long haul? He put money into a driver (Martin), airplanes and building a seven-point shaker rig.
What a windfall for DEI! She has come into some big-money assets from Ginn.
Ginn, I believe, discovered buying a race team is greatly different that purchasing and flipping real estate which has been his forte. It takes a lot of money to buy and a lot more money to be and stay competitive.
