Officials from Dale Earnhardt, Inc. confirmed Sunday morning at Talladega Superspeedway that the team is talking to two manufacturers in addition to Chevrolet about what brand of Nextel Cup cars it will run in 2008.
DEI executive John Story said Sunday that the team's agreement with Chevrolet expires after 2007 and that DEI is actively talking to two other automakers, as well as negotiating a partnership with Robert Yates Racing. DEI also is looking to add a fourth Nextel Cup car in 2008 or '09.
"The only proposal we have for next year from a manufacturer is from Chevrolet," said Story prior to the Aaron's 499. "We've talked to two other manufacturers, but I think we're a long way from deciding which manufacturer we're going to be with. Teresa (team owner Earnhardt) has a lot of loyalty to Chevrolet, we've been with them
Story did not identify the two other manufacturers, but with the sale of Chrysler Group expected to take place in the next month, it's highly unlikely that Dodge is in the discussion, which leaves Ford and Toyota.
Story also said the talks with other two automakers are in very early stages. "There has been no written documentation between our group and either of those manufacturers. We've had some preliminary discussions, but they're definitely preliminary," said Story.
