Three Dale Earnhardt Inc. employees who allegedly planned and paid for a derogatory banner to fly over Lowe's Motor Speedway last weekend have been fired.

The banner, which read, "How much does Bobby Ginn owe you?" was pulled by a plane and flown over Lowe's before the start of last Saturday night's race. The banner was directed at the former NASCAR team owner, who allowed his organization to be acquired by DEI after just one year of ownership, leaving about 100 people out of a job.

But Kasey Brooks, Mike Clark and Greg Price were hired by DEI after the merger, and are believed to be responsible for the
banner. Clark and Price were fabricators at DEI, and Brooks worked in the parts department.

"We addressed the situation internally, dealt with it appropriately and we're quite frankly embarrassed that this situation ever arose," DEI general manager John Story said.
