Below are select quotes [see full PR on my #8 Team News and Links page ] from Thursday’s [11-6] Wind Tunnel with Dave Despain on SPEED Channel. NASCAR Winston Cup Series driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., spoke with Dave about everything from superstitions to safety. Earnhardt on whether teaming with Richard Childress is in his future: “I want to drive race cars as long as I am healthy and I enjoy it and that could be for a very long time … I don’t see an opportunity to drive for Richard. I feel like my loyalty belongs to DEI – what we’ve built up over the last several years and what we’ve put into that company. All the money and all the effort my father put forth for years to make that happen, I feel like my loyalty belongs there and I’m going to stick it out.” Earnhardt on future as a team owner: “I feel like it is a huge interest of mine and I feel like I would be very good at it. I think I’ve got a pretty good eye for talent — not only driver-wise, but who could run each department.” … and to settle a bet with a producer, Dave asked Junior, “What was the last music you listened to before coming on the show?” The answer: Boston’s Greatest Hits [great choice!
