Two of motorsports’ biggest names – Earnhardt and Ganassi – will launch a four-car team beginning in 2009 through the combination of the motorsports operations of Dale Earnhardt, Inc. and Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates, Inc. Martin Truex Jr. and Juan Pablo Montoya will drive the Nos. 1 and 42, respectively, and Aric Almirola will be behind the wheel of the No. 8. The driver of the No. 41 will be named in the near future.“In this ultra-competitive era of NASCAR, it is necessary to build and sustain the strongest team possible and our combining with the people and equipment at Dale Earnhardt Inc. will help create a strong four-car program for years to come,” said Chip Ganassi. “This is a win-win for both organizations as well as all of our partners.”
“Having a partner like Chip who is heavily involved on the competition side of the business is an ideal situation for DEI,” Teresa Earnhardt said. “He has a long history of managing championship teams in the IndyCar and Rolex Grand-Am Series and I share his passion and goals of winning races and ultimately championships in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. I think this is a case where we are stronger together than we are apart.” As completely stolen from That's Racing.com and their fabulous writing staff.

So, will it be Dodge or Chevy? Is this a 50%-50% ownership? If so, who has the final say? I just cannot wrap my brain around the whole idea...if people thought Senior was rolling over in his grave before, I wonder what he's doing now? Growling to get out so he can choke the bitch?
The question is, which manufacturer will want to be in bed with this fiasco? I can see Dodge and Chevy both pushing the 4 cars onto the other..
Hey I thought that was the Edmund Fitz... Cool.
Based on what I've been told by someone who says they know someone who actually knows I say Chevy.
