A little story to tell. My son just called and told me he was at the grocery store and wearing his Dale, Jr jacket and turned around and Kasey Kahne was standing behind hin n the checkout line. My son said to Kasey......I guess that I had better take my jacket off and Kasey just laughed.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!Quote:

Best arse guess...Rick Hendrick?
If I'm correct, it wouldn't be the first time a law man's son turned out to be a crook! :laugh:
Sorry, no, not to my knowledge..........to both your answers. :)Quote:

Brett Favre retired last week as one of the greatest quarterbacks, if not the greatest quarterback that ever played in the NFL. Which NASCAR team was he part owner of?
tstran, remember that the questions are restricted to Nascar Cup racing. Busch and the Trucks are excluded.Quote:

Obviously you know the answer to my question, so you know that the co-owner of the team with Brett is a Sprint Cup driver…so technically it can be construed as a Cup question. :cheese: :D :D
:laugh: I’ll need a bit to come up with another one. Thkx!
No problem, just gotta keep things on the right track....Dale. ;)Quote:

In honor of Dale Jarrett retiring...How many owners did Dale drive for in his Cup career?
this what i could come up with off the top of my head. probably a few one-offs i've missed from his early career.
Michael Waltrip
Robert Yates
Joe Gibbs
The Wood Brothers
Cale Yarborough
Hoss Ellington
Eric Freedlander
Emanuel Zervakis
Mike Curb
Wow! I was just looking for a number. But from one DJ fan to another (assuming you are a DJ fan?)...you are short a few! :D
One former owner missed:
Horace Isenhower
Unless Horace goes by another alias...his name isn't on the list as a cup owner that DJ drove for. Are you sure you're not confusing Horace with Gene Isenhour? Rich Bickle drove for him i nthe early 90's.Quote:

It doesn't look like anyone is going to get all the answers, so I'll post them to get the game rolling again. Dale Jarrett drove for 12 owners in Cup.
1984 Emanuel Zervakis & Jimmy Means
1986 Mike Curb
1987 Eric Freedlander
1988 Hoss Ellington, Cale Yarborugh (in 1989 also), Ralph Ball & Buddy Arrington
1990-91 Wood Brothers
1992-94 Joe Gibbs Racing
1995-06 Robert Yates Racing
2007-08 Michael Waltrip Racing
Thkx for playing! :cheese:
I'm going to throw ya'll a bone for this question. Mainly because I'll be leaving for Phoenix and Las Vegas tomorrow morning and will be gone for a week. :bounce:
