Dale Earnhardt Jr. being a free agent goes beyond sports.
Junior brings along a huge fan base, and two major sponsors in Chevy and Budweiser.
His market ability is on par with Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan if not greater.
He is going to make a lot of money for himself and for whichever owner is lucky enough to land him.
Just imagine if he could win more races.
As for DEI, I can't see that race team staying anywhere near the top of the business. It was a second-tier team with Junior. Martin Truex Jr. can't be the headliner for any team.

Is there now a sizable NASCAR fan base in Ohio? I've personally never cared about nor paid any attention to car racing, but it seems like everybody talks about NASCAR these days.
