Teresa to sell DEI, Stewart and Newman to Haas: The Dominos are Starting to Fall

[TennesseeFan07]

It appears that Stewart will announce at Indy that he'll indeed buy into Haas and Newman will go along with him. It'll also appear that the DEI transformation will continue with Teresa selling. Martin Truex better get out of there, I'll have no sympathy for him as he rots away in the organization.

I was surprised to hear the DEI rumor on Saturday. I didn't believe the source.

after reading the post about mark martin leaving the other day I started typing a reply about how long would it be until DEI merged with another team or was sold... I ddint submit it bc I didnt feel like arguing about it... oh well, im glad Jr got out when he did... when is truex's contract up?

[d4ster3]

Jayski is reporting UPS to Bowyer (RCR), Office Depot to Stewart (Haas) and Jack Daniels to Newman (Haas)... I think Tony would be the better Jack Daniels fit

also Stremme or Mears to the 12

one more, caterpillar to Burton

If Penske takes Stremme then he's crazy. David's a good guy but one of the worst and most overated drivers in the sport

he is only signed with DEI through the end of this season, and i had kind of hoped he would be reunited with jr. at hendrick, but I guess that's out the window now, but hopefully he's looking for a new home too, DEI seems to be falling apart

I think that is unfair at this point. It's hard to really tell who can and cannot drive when you consider the team and equipment they have. The junk he was driving at CGFSR should not keep him from another opportunity.

home depot? blah for their sponsorship. ugly car. i do like tony's old spice car in nationwide. wish he'd drive that, or even the jack daniels.

Office Depot to Stewart is BORING!!!! Damn, Im gonna miss my orange.

[McLovin]

Agree,I like and will miss the orange.

[doozer]

if Penske would go:

Sam, Helio and Briscoe in the IRL

and

Kurt, Mears and Stremme in NASCAR

i think both of his programs could benefit tremendously. Truex would another nice Penske addition, if it happens.

[d4ster3]

wonder who will get the home depot sponsorship?

I didn't see the sale of DEI coming this soon, but then wouldn't be that surprised. I may be proven totally wrong, but I don't see success for the Stewart-Haas deal even with Newman. You read it here first!

[doozer]

i'm on the fence with the Stewart/Newman/Haas deal. on one side, i think it's stupid to voluntarily walk away from Roger Penske. on the other, his NASCAR success isn't the same as his other teams in other series, who have been more successful.

as for Tony, i'm sure he stands to gain a substantial amount of money in this deal. he's probably starting to think about life outside of the car, and this is a better way to move into ownership than to start your own team from scratch. obiviously, with Smoke and Newman, there is going to be a lot money put into upgrades. i still say he needs to make another few runs at the real trophy he wants, the Borg-Warner.

will either of them win a championship? i doubt it. will they run better next year? i 100% believe so.
