Listening to SIRIUS Satellite Radio, Channel 128, The Drivers Seat, they transmitted the press conference from JR Motorsports where Dale Earnhardt Jr announced that he will be leaving DEI at the end of the year.

He thanked the media for the amount of privacy they afforded him during the negotiations, and both sides worked hard at the negotiations, but he found it is time to move on and drive for another team.

Jr. said both he and DEI will come out of this successfully, but at 32, the same age his dad was when he made his biggest, most successful change, he needed to do this.

DEI is all he has ever known, as they have both grown, won and lost together.

Dale Jr. said he does not know what team he will drive for, but will listen to any and all opportunities. He and DEI will continue to work together on many projects, but he feels that his decision to move on would be supported by his father, as his dad taught him to “Be a man, race hard & contend for championships.”

The following is the media question and answer session, posted as asked, and answered:

NEW YORK – May 4, 2007 — SIRIUS Satellite Radio (NASDAQ:SIRI) and Cosmopolitan magazine announced today that COSMO Radio will broadcast The COSMO Radio Confessathon featuring 500 real confessions based on the magazine’s popular “Confessions” and “Guy Confessions” columns. From dating disasters and sex snafus to bad office behavior and the shocking things people say behind their friends’ backs, hear the hilarious and scandalous messages that listeners have left on COSMO Radio’s voicemail. Plus, COSMO Radio will give men and women the chance to spill their naughtiest secrets live on air during the broadcast.

The COSMO Radio Confessathon will also include confessions from people whose jobs and lives make them privy to some extra juicy scoop—like a Miami socialite who regularly parties until sunrise, a celebrity trainer who knows what the stars really do to get red-carpet ready, and two backup dancers who have performed with some of the biggest acts in pop music.

The COSMO Radio Confessathon will kick off on May 5, 2007 beginning at 2:00 pm ET and will continue until 500 confessions have aired.

Geared toward Cosmopolitan magazine’s audience of fun, fearless females, COSMO Radio features smart relationship advice, beauty and fashion tips, health news and entertainment information similar to what appears in the magazine, a must-read for 17 million readers each month.
