Almost Official: DEI Buys Ginn Racing!
I have been saying all year that something would happen to put Mark Martin in the #01 car for more races than he planned. I never would have guessed this would be it, but I can see the writing on the wall. Word is the future of Regan Smith is up in the air. If true, that only leaves Mark Martin for the Army car. I don’t think Smith will be out of a ride in 2008 though. I can really see him taking over Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s ride next year.
The biggest losers in this deal? Joe Nemechek and Sterlin Marlin. No doubt in my mind their releases was part of this deal. The biggest winner? Other than Ginn Racing, Paul Menard is said to be getting the #14’s team points, which would put him in the field.
Agree? Disagree? Please post your comments, and thanks for reading!
