DEI still talking to Budweiser

Max Siegel, president of worldwide operations for Dale Earnhardt, Inc., said Saturday that the team is still talking with Budweiser, still hoping to add a fourth Nextel Cup car in 2008 and is still looking for a replacement for Dale Earnhardt, Jr. in the #8 next year. “We still have our existing commercial relationship with Bud, talking about what’s best with everybody, still engaged in conversations with potential drivers," Siegel said Saturday at New Hampshire. “Hopefully in the next four weeks we’ll get something wrapped up here." Of the team’s car count next year, that’s still up in the air, too. “We have a couple of unique situations that could give us a fourth (car in 2008)," Siegel said. “Realistically, by ’09, definitely we’ll be a four-car team."
