Who did Dale Earnhardt Sr. sponsor?

Answer 1

He drove for Richard Childress Racing from 1984-2001 Daytona 500. Before that, he drove for Bud Moore in the #15 Wrangler Jeans Ford in 1982 and 1983. Before that, he drove for Rod Osterlund in 1978 (a few races) -1980. In 1981, he did drive for Osterlund for a while til Osterlund sold the team. Earnhardt stayed with the team for a while after J.D. Stacy bought the team. He also drove for Ed Negre, and Will Cronkite. Those are the only teams I know of that he drove for in the Cup series. I do not know what teams he drove for in the Busch Series when he raced in that series.

In the Busch Series, Dale Sr. drove for his father-in-law Robert Gee in 1982 & 1983. He drove for Ed Whitaker for a few races in 1984, before switching to his own team (DEI) for a few races in 1984. Dale Sr. drove his DEI cars from 1985-1994 and on one occasion in 1992, he drove one race for Ken Schrader. Dale's Busch Series racing was always a part time schedule.
