Ok.. First off -- I know this will never ever happen.. But I have been wondering for a while now.. What would you fans do, If Dale Jr. left DEI and went over and signed to drive for one of the Toyota Teams... Seriously.. I want to know what you think your REAL REACTION would be to that.. I think it's very intersting! That would be a bold move by him if he ever did.. Maybe even career-suicide!!! Think about it, and let me know!

I would think it's funny. I like Dale, not a huge fan. And I think it would be funny to see the reaction of all the Bud drinking red necks. Would they buy new jackets? Would they cry in their rice beer? It would be fun to watch. So I'm hoping he leaves DEI.

There is no doubt DEI's as a team has been stuggling over the past few years. I really beleive Jr. would like to go to RCR. I heard him mention Childress many times in the past. I'm sure RCR would have no problem adding another car for Jr. Toyota has some deep pockets and the money would be tempting, just look at what toyota spent to pry Vickers from Hendrick. Jr will stay with chevy if he moves. If Jr goes, DEI is dead and Jr would have real sucess with RCR.

I think Jr should leave DEI, make him prove that he is the racer everyone claims he is. Make him start from the bottom and WORK to the top without big daddy giving him everything. He wouldn't be nearly as good as he appears to be without his daddy's groundwork. And don't tell me he already has worked for everything he has because it has been said many times over that Sr created DEI for Jr. Jr has been given the best crew and every advantage possible...including sympathy from NASCAR. If Jr. had to start over he would pancake it into the wall so many times he would have a new sponsorship. Can't you see it now, "...and starting 43rd in the Aunt Jemima Bisquick Toyota Dale Jr." All his fans would be wearing foam pancakes on their heads like Packer Fans with their cheese hats. Tail gating Jr. fans would have a hot griddle and spatula. The souvenir trailer would sell Frisbees that look like "flap jacks". It would be great.

if Jr leaves DEI it will be to drive for RCR and i really belive this will be Jr. Last year with DEI. Treasa doesnt what him to have more ownership in the team and jr isnt happy so dont plain on seeing him in that 8 car next season. DEI will never be a championship team.

That would be great I would love to see him driving a Toyota sponsored by Saporro beer. That would be great. I wouldnt care one way or the other. I think the fans reaction would be negative, and very vocal about it. I am sure many people would hate him from there on out.

They def. have the money, but Jr ain't that stupid. If he leaves, you can't emphasize that enough, I think he will sign with RCR. Hopefully Jr, and Teressa, can get all this mess worked out, and Jr, can finish what his father built. It would suck to see Dale Sr. spend all the time building this company up, just for it to fall apart because Jr left.

I agree that this would never happen. Jr is adamit about loving Chevy. But such an action if it did occur would rock the NASCAR world. Jr driving a 'foriegn' car. NASCAR would loose a little of it's Jr. Moffia. But it would be huge!
But honestly, he'd go to RCR if he went anywhere.

I don't think anyone would care. We all love JR so much that we would follow him anywhere! Even if he is sitting his cute little booty in a Toyota! All I care about is getting to see him race on Sunday! I never saw a man that made me so flustered.. The things I'd do to that man...

Well with his father being Mr. GM, I think it would lose him a huge fanbase. I think it would be disrespectful for his family name. The way Toyota is throwing big bucks in to NASCAR, I could see them offering Jr. the highest pay in motorsports to make the switch yet I think he would sign with Childress racing for less money?
