I don't see how Jr is going to better his position that much by going to RCR. I don't understand why he doesn't do his own team...
He's said he doesn't want to own a Cup team. I guess he really wants to continue his father's vision at DEI which is pushing him into this majority ownership decision. Not how Teresa does it but with the cars being competitive and by keeping the right people there rather than letting them go and putting money into the racing end not the memory of Dale.
The will was last updated in 1992 and Dale left everything to Teresa. For a while she even owned the rights to Jr's name until he went to the media and she finally relented and let him have that.
Several in the media and other drivers have said that if he does leave DEI they will fold in two years. I believe that, I really feel Teresa is putting everything into the Dale Earnhardt part of the business rather than racing for the future.
He's a driver ,and doesnt want the headachs of owning a team,I would guess.
