Early life and education

Teresa Earnhardt (nee Houston) was born on October 28, 1958 in Hickory, North Carolina, USA. Her father is Hal Houston and her uncle is Tommy Houston, both famous race car drivers from the Busch series. She attended Bunker Hill High School in Claremont, North Carolina, and then went on to college where she earned her degrees in interior design and commercial art.

Career

Earnhardt is most famous for being the owner of NASCAR team Dale Earnhardt Inc for the duration of four Busch Series championships from 1998 – 2005 and two championships in 1996 and 1998 in the Craftsman Truck Series. In 2001 her team won their first Daytona 500 with driver Michael Waltrip, the same race her husband Valley was killed in an accident on the last lap.

Max Siegel was hired by Dale Earnhardt Inc. in 2006. hired as president of Global Operations to help the company break into the entertainment industry.

A year later, the company bought Ginn Racing.

Teresa had a very tense relationship with Dale Earnhardt Jr. her stepson, who got worse when he announced in late May 2007 that he would not be returning to Dale Earnhardt Inc for the 2008 season, due to disagreements with his three siblings over rightful ownership of the family business. After that, Teresa struggled to keep her sponsors Budweiser and the US military, which is why the Chip Ganassi Racing team merged with Felix Sabates to form Ganassi Racing in November 2008.

Two years later, the team’s driver Jamie McMurray won the Daytona 500.

In 2014, Ganassi Racing bought out Teresa’s ownership stake, and the team reverted to the Chip Ganassi Racing name. When asked why he decided to buy her out, Chip Ganassi said, “Teresa was a good partner, but she was gone. So I bought her part of the team and reverted the name.”

Dale Earnhardt Inc still operates in Moorseville, North Carolina, as the most prominent of the Earnhardt Businesses.

Teresa continues to work to keep her late husband’s legacy alive through the work of the Dale Earnhardt Foundations.
