Chance 2 race team takes off
By DAVID POOLE
The Charlotte Observer

Teresa Earnhardt, who is beginning to emerge little by little back into the public eye nearly two years after her husband's death in the 2001 Daytona 500, helped Dale Earnhardt Jr. unveil a new name for the race team they've formed to compete in the NASCAR Grand National series this year.
The team is called Chance 2. The original Chance Inc. was a company Dale and Teresa Earnhardt formed in 1994 to give Earnhardt's children, Kerry, Kelly and Dale Jr., their first taste of racing. The company disbanded when Earnhardt Jr. started racing in the Grand National series for what has grown into Dale Earnhardt Inc.

Earnhardt Jr. will drive the No. 8 car in two Grand National races at Daytona and one at Talladega. Steve Park will drive it in five races and Martin Truex Jr. will drive it in five more.

The team will also enter a No. 81 car in three Winston Cup races. Jason Keller will drive it at Chicagoland Speedway and Ron Fellows will drive in the road-course events at Watkins Glen and Sonoma.

I think this will be a good oppurnity for him hope fully his team will take off.
 
Sounds good to me!:D Glad he's giving Ron Fellows a little pay back by giving him the two road courses!!:) Now, that's what I call giving a "hired gun" a chance.:beerchug:
 
Yeah and maybe by having Ron Fellows drive those road coarses for him maybe Jr. will pick up a little better driving skills for those road coarses.
 
Truex is a veteran of the Busch North series. He's a young guy - only 22 or so.

So, Park is going to tempt fate one more time in the Busch series, eh?
 
Interesting.

Wether you like Jr. or not, I think its great to see these drivers investing in Nascar.
 
Just what we need...ANOTHER DANG EARNHARDT TEAM! Fans will be coming out of the woodwork then! Its not like DEI itself is worth a dime, or even putting on the track....THEY SUCK!
 
I think it is a gr8 thing that Teresa and Dale Jr is doing, giving folks a chance.

And Cubby if you don't like DEI maybe you should pick another sport because they are here to stay.
 
There are OTHER teams that are worth far MORE than DEI. ......HENDRICKS!!!!!
 
Lets see, Hendricks has been racing for close to 20 years and DEI for 4 years, yeah I would say your are probably right, for now, but give it time. Hendricks is not going anywhere but neither is DEI.
 
DEI could field a car with Stevie Wonder driving and sponsored by Government Cheese and people would be pouring into tracks to watch.

Scooping up that money!

That could be true.:) But I would guess they'd pick another driver since I really don't think Stevie Wonder could get a license. Sounds like a pretty successful business to me if it were true.......just brings a question to mind: Is that a bad thing?:D
 
Depends on whether you respect people that respect the sport, or respect people that are in it for the money. That's for you to decide. :)
 
What if I respect both? Just shades of gray for me....not black and white.:)
 
You can respect whomever you wish. I choose to respect those that treat the sport with respect, not the leeches that are there just to suck the blood from it.

Do as you see fit!

I take it that you don't care so much for DEI. What makes you think they aren't worth a dime? By the way, haven't I seen you around before? :)

Thanks 66 - Had a hard time getting here. I have registered twenty-five hundred times (give or take a hundred or two).
 
Hmm obviously Cubby does not repect DEI, and obviously he does not see that they are an outstanding organization that is very succesful. Hmm maybe he should watch some old races on Speed?
