To me, Teresa Earnhardt is one of the more greediest owners in all of racing. There are tons of greedy owners out there, but this woman dismantled and TARNISHED a legacy of one of the greatest drivers to ever play the sport. Let us begin.
Teresa meets Dale Sr., a NASCAR driver in the late 70s at a race. The two hit it off and they get married in '82. It's Dale's third wife after his first two marriages didn't work. Then 6 years later, Taylor Nicole is born into the world.
In 1998, DEI was created. They had drivers galore. With the likes of Michael Waltrip, Martin Truex Jr, Mark Martin, Kerry Earnhardt, Robby Gordon, Kenny Wallace, and Steve Park.
But the man who made the team, passed away at that tragic 2001 Daytona 500. It was a dark day for NASCAR fans. Silence at Daytona.
But they continued to push and push. All under one woman who would run the team into a ditch. Teresa.
Dale Jr. wanted a share in the family business so he could carry on the legacy of his father. But the greedy hag said, "Bitch, this is my team!" But Sr. created DEI so that Kerry and Junior would have a place to race when he retired. He wanted his sons to get success in the industry and utilize the Earnhardt name.
But guess what? She wouldn't budge. Junior wanted at least half of the ownership to help the company bring championships to the 7 NASCAR championships that Sr. had. But she wouldn't budge. So what did Jr. do?
Sign with HENDRICK MOTORSPORTS. A rival of DEI where he continued his success. Dale Jr. later revealed that he was NOWHERE CLOSE TO A FUCKING DEAL! But more drama is to come....
Teresa and Kerry, Jr's older brother, got into a SPAT over the Earnhardt name. Kerry used the Earnhardt name for a home collection with his wife, Rene. But the greedy hag filed a lawsuit against her stepson to prevent him from using Sr's name for the company.
Teresa has OWNED the Earnhardt name since Sr's passing. The court took none of her bullshit on her beliefs. But SOMEHOW she pulled a legal win out of her ass. But at the end of day, no one would trademark Earnhardt Collections.
You see what I'm saying? This woman all in all, is a gigantic, LOLCOW. For what she did to the Earnhardt family, to the siblings, to DEI, to NASCAR, hell, even to Sr. himself. But here's the fact: Dale loved her. But now, I think that Dale is rolling in his grave right now. The Earnhardts deserve better.
Hello, I represent Teresa Earnhardt, you're in violation for mentioning the name Earnhardt and making a subreddit about Teresa Earnhardt. We ask you to take down the subreddit now or lose millions.
Good day.

Dale Earnhardt Inc. died a sad, and sudden death after the 2008 Cup Season. They were one of multiple teams that were greatly affected by the 2008 financial crisis, and merged with Chip Gannasi and Felix Sabates after the 2008 season, as they were another organization that was greatly effected by the Great Recession.
While the team continued as Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing through the 2013 season, co-owner Teresa Earnhardt was absent through the teams five wins, including Jamie McMurray's 2010 Daytona 500 triumph.
Despite the teams sudden demise, DEI is still fondly remembered for their run of sheer restrictor plate dominance from the 2001 Daytona 500, through the 2004 Daytona 500.
During this span of 13 races, the duo of Michael Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt Jr. combined to win 10 times at Daytona and Talladega. Only Bobby Hamilton at Talladega in 2001, Ward Burton in the 2002 Daytona 500, and Greg Biffle in the 2003 Pepsi 400 broke up the DEI monopoly.
Even Hamilton's win has somewhat of an asterisk, as Hamilton drove for Andy Petree Racing, who was a part of the RAD Alliance, meaning that he was sharing info with the DEI cars.
After Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the Daytona 500 in 2004, three years after the loss of his father, DEI would only win once more on the Superspeedways, and that would come later in 2004.
Midway through the 2004 season a new Superspeedway powerhouse team emerged, and it was Hendrick Motorsports.
The tide would turn in the 2004 Aaron's 499.
Following a Tony Stewart spin with 12 laps to go, Dale Jr. and Jeff Gordon were set to battle for the win over a nine lap sprint to the finish.
In turn four, with only four laps to go, Gordon edged ahead of Jr. At the same time Gordon's teammate Brian Vickers spun and lightly collected Ricky Rudd creating another caution.
NASCAR elected not to restart the race, running the final three laps under caution and giving Gordon the win, his first of the 2004 season, and first Superspeedway win since winning the same race in 2000.
While NASCAR fans were vocal with their disapproval, peppering Gordon's car with trash after the race, DEI looked to return to rebound at the 2004 Pepsi 400.
In a race where nearly half the field were sponsored by Coca-Cola's new C2 drink, Gordon's Pepsi sponsored car led the most laps, and won again, this time winning his first race at Daytona since 1999. Gordon's teammate Jimmie Johnson came second, with Dale Jr. finishing third.
While Jr. won the next Superspe
... keep reading on reddit β‘Does anyone know the address for Dales Deer Head shop? Iβm curious because Jr said on the podcast this week that he assumed he and Kerryβs first race car was still sitting out back. If I knew the address I could look on the satellite to see if I can see the car.
Thanks in advance π
Do your worst!
It really does, I swear!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies π

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
There hasn't been a post all year!
