NAPA, the sponsor of that car, could choose to leave DEI and go with Waltrip to his next team. But Gilmore indicated the team would stay if DEI could sign the driver they are eyeing. Should they fail to get him, then DEI will essentially fold the team.

NO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O!!!!!!!!

You fool! Stables need at least three teams to compete with Roush and Hendrick, because of the extra ability to share information.

RE: Gilmore threatening to fold the team

Taking into consideration the comments by Eury, Jr., Gilmore has just signaled Junior's current crew they may be out of work next year.

Good move.
