Paul Menard says he's staying at DEI, acknowledges difficulties

The Charlotte Observer

Friday, Jun. 01, 2007

Paul Menard denied a published report indicating he’s considering leaving Dale Earnhardt Inc., possibly to join Robby Gordon’s team.

“That’s not going to happen,” said Menard, whose best finish this season is 15th at Texas.

But Menard did say these are anxious times at DEI since Earnhardt announced last month he will leave the team at the end of the season.

“We’ll be OK as long as we get good people in key positions,” Menard said. “That’s what every race team wants and needs, and it’s probably what we don’t have at DEI right now.

"In the long term we’ll have to build that up and if we have to move some people around to make the appropriate changes, then that’s what needs to be done.”
