He may have, I didn't really watch NASCAR before he died. I do know that he drove for Richard Childress on the Winston Cup circuit.

earnhardt built DEI years ago...he drove his own car in the Busch Series for many years...from what i remember from an interview, he didn't want to be his own team owner in the Winston Cup Series -- too many obligations/headaches...he just wanted to get in the car and drive...
