No. Not after the 2007 season. He did own 49% of the company until he and his step mother; who owns the other 51% could not make a deal they both were happy with. So Dale Jr. left the team and now is currently with Hendrick Motorsports. His teammates are as of 2011, Mark Martin, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson.
On November 12, 2008, Chip Ganassi Racing along with Felix Sabates merged with DEI to form Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing.
DEI technically owned 1 team which is the number 1 of Jamie McMurray. But in the 2010 season DEI and Chip Ganassi Racing merged which brought in their driver, number 42 Juan Pablo Montoya.
Dale currently races with Hendricks Motorsports and his own JR motorsports
Two?
Kelley Earnhardt works for JR Motorsports. Kelley, along with Dale Jr., Tony Eury Jr. and Rick Hendrick, co-own JR Motorsports.
No. Dale Jr. only owns "Whisky River", located in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Like any son who cares about his own father, he had to feel extremely heartbroken upon his passing. Dale Jr. was not only his son, but a fan also. I believe he was in shock because everyone believed Dale Sr. was invincible. Now knowing what we know about Junior's relationship with his stepmother, he might have even been thinking about DEI going downhill. Which it did. If there was no merger with Chip Ganassi, there would be no racing team left that bears the Earnhardt name. Junior probably felt that not only did he lose a father that day, he lost a car owner that would have given him a pat on the back or a kick in the pants when needed.
Yes. Dale Jr. owns two nightclubs named Whisky River. One is located in Charlotte, North Carolina and the other is in Jacksonville, Florida.
There is no definite answer. Some would say Richard Petty or Dale Earnhardt Sr. in former drivers. In today's drivers, maybe Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jeff Gordon. But, there is no sole most loved driver. Each fan has their own individual favorites, which should be respected.
DEI no longer fields their own cars. They have since merged with Chip Ganassi to form Earnhardt Ganassi Racing. EGR has two cars in the Sprint Cup Series, their drivers are Jamie McMurray (#1) and Juan Pablo Montoya (#42).
Dale Jr. is the son of Dale Earnhardt Sr. and grandson of Ralph Earnhardt. He is a Nascar driver. He was born in Kannapolis, NC. Dale Jr. currently drives the #88 Diet Mountain Dew/National Guard Chevy SS race car for Hendrick Motorsports. Junior is a good driver in his own right. He was dominant in the Busch Series, winning championships in 1998 and 1999 before moving up to the Cup Series, where he has won 22 races, including the Daytona 500 twice. He has also won Nascar's Most Popular Driver Award for the last eleven years (2003-2013).
No, it was never confirmed that Buffy Waltrip had an affair with anyone during her marriage to Michael Waltrip. Their marriage appeared to be in trouble starting in 2008, and they divorced in 2010. Michael has said that it was his own struggle with Dale Earnhardt's death that drove them apart.
It's long been said by NASCAR insiders that the Earnhardt/Busch feud is entirely one-sided. Some have speculated that Busch may be using his comments toward Earnhardt, voted NASCAR's Most Popular Driver for several years running, to further his own career. It's also been said that Earnhardt is apathetic to the situation.
