3) DEI isn't squat without Jr driving their car - they'll be out of business as a raceteam in less than 5 years after Jr leaves. Theresa will, however, continue to profit handsomely on Sr's licensing deals which she has managed in an admirable way since Sr died.
4) I don't know what Kerry is doing - haven't seen him driving lately. Perhaps you can enlighten me as to his status within DEI.

teresa didn't go to the track much over the years, and i certainly can't blame her for not going now. i wouldn't either if i was in her shoes. and i don't see why she would have to go to-as for putting her life on the line in a car, i don't see how that has anything to do with whether she can run dei--jeff gordon tried similar logic in his divorce, he still shelled out plenty.
as for kelly, again, you're talking about one of four of dales children. and i ask again, why should one of his four control more than half of the company? again, if dale wanted that, wouldn't he have made that clear?
as for dei not being squat without jr, i disagree. perhaps it would be better off without someone who seems to lack focus. he wants the company, maybe he should worry about driving, and leave the running to someone who knows how to do it.
as for kerry, i don't have a clue what he's doing. he never had much to do with dales business, but tried to do things on his own, unlike jr. i don't follow the sport much at all anymore.

i just think it's a shame how teresa is being portrayed here. bad enough she had to bury her husband, and then deal with all the bs with autopsy photos etc. now her step son is trying to take away what she and her husband built.
