Update: Official Announcement---
According to listeners of both Sirius and XM satellite radio's NASCAR shows, Tony Eury Sr. will announce his departure from Dale Earnhardt Inc. Wednesday.
Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s uncle will join JR Motorsports as the Team Director.
Interesting, considering he was recently tapped to head DEI's new research and development team. Hardly surprising, though. Apparently, Eury never accepted the position as reported.
The elder Eury has been with DEI since it was founded in 1988 and prior to that he worked for Dale Earnhardt's Busch team. Even as tykes Earnhardt and Eury Sr. hung out at the track while their own dads raced each other.
No one should be surprised that the man whose hands Dale Sr. originally put his son's career in is following Junior out the door. I couldn't be more pleased that he will continue to be an influence on Junior and bring his experience to JRM. As a Busch Series crew chief, he claims 1997 Rookie of the Year honors for Steve Park and back-to-back Busch titles for Dale Jr. in 1998 and 1999. JRM could use a little of that.
Earnhardts and Eurys stick together. Way it always has been, way it always will be.
Now, how long before we see Tony Jr.'s announcement?
