Dale Jr. puts his foot down

So according to this article on ESPN.com, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. has demanded a majority stake in DEI in order for him to re-sign with the team.

About time Jr. flexed his negotiating muscles here. It's a no-lose situation for him. He gets majority ownership, he gets DEI. His stepmother refuses to give it to him, he leaves, takes all the marketing muscle behind him and goes to any of the big teams that are foaming at the mouth to sign him. In that scenario,he finally gets a real team, with real resources and real teammates. Don't tell me Childress isn't itching to sign him and have him roll out in the black #3, which is what all his fans want to see too.

Anyways, this should be interesting, how it all plays out.
