1 of 2 DEI jets at thr airport this morning. That’s not a DEI plane, that’s Champion Air. It was owned by Dale Sr (hence his logo on the tail fin) and they still exist as a charter airline out of NC airports that fly teams to tracks. Other than being started by the same person (Sr) they have nothing to do with DEI race team or otherwise us.motorsport.com/nascar-cup/news/dale-earnhardt-incorporated-no-more/2738343/ |

Planes are registered to DEI, pilots badges said DEI. Maybe they rent them out to other teams. |

I read that he started champion air in 1989, didnt read further to see that he sold it off. |

My sympathies are with everyone that lives within earshot of IMS today.... with cars on track in an historic combined event... and you can’t go watch. Brutal!

Further digging, Champion Air was never sold. It seperated from DEI during the financial struggles the led to the eventual end of DEI. Champion Air LLC is owned by Theresa Earnhardt. Knowledge filled.morning, I don't follow Nascar anymore so I had no idea DEI was gone.

If I remember right that all happened when Jr went his own way It got a bit ugly with trademarks rights to the name licensing and all that good legal stuff |

I’d be surprised if all sports don’t get shut back down Sucks for him being his last year as a driver it’s hard to believe they didn’t have big plans at every track with meet and greets sponsor Party’s |

I've been saying for 20 years - since they build the road course in the infield - that they need to have the stock cars race on the road course. The design of the oval deson't lend itself to good stock car racing. The boys in the Infinity race just proved my point. I didn't get to see too much of the race, but I did get to see the finish and it was awesome!
