Dale Jr. leaving DEI at the end of the season

Also, Childress has a relationship with Hendrick where they lease engines from Hendrick. So they already have strong engines.

 

Looks like it is going to be RCR, #33 Budweiser Chevy.

 

Where are you hearing that?

 

It was reported in the media earlier today then retracted.

 

Is it RCR that owns #3?

 

Childress has the 3

 

Did anybody else jut hear that? JR can't take Bud with him because they are under contract with DEI? Is this true?

 

According to NASCAR channel on Sirius... Some Budwieser has a personal contract with Jr. So Bud could still use Jr in commercials all they want. Plus they also mentioned that Anheiser Busch has alot of different products that they could put on the side of a car. Something tells me Bud is gonna find a way to stay with Jr no matter what happens. It wouldn't suprise me if Bud sponsored two seperate cars until their contract with DEI expires (if they have a contract that ties them to DEI).

 

I've read that Childress is already above the maximum on drivers.. so they can't take anyone without dropping 2... Also, Jr. says he will only drive Chevy, so it narrows things down a bit...

 

RCR has room for one more team you can have 4 teams. Right now they have 3 cup teams and 3 Busch teams.
