DEI AND RCR

[Sifty]

Have combined engine teams.

Any thoughts?

Well since Jr. basically said he wants away from DEI & Theresa, does this lessen the possibility of him going to RCR?

When comparing the teams average finishes, this seems like it would benefit DEI more than RCR but that is probably more because of the drivers than the engines. They have had alliances in the past before so I supposed it would help them both.

I think it shows that DEI is NOT planning on going away and that they ARE adressing the percieved shortcomings of their operation. RCR totally revamped its engine program two or three years ago (right before they got competitive again) and so DEI is smart to upgrade what has been known as one of their weaknesses since Gilmore left the engine shop and moved up to a bigger job.

Advantage to RCR? CASH. You don't think Hendrick supplies all those teams just to be nice do you? They are profiting from their success.
