...million, a record high. More than one out of every three cars sold in Japan in 2006 was a mini, or kei, making the country by far the biggest market in the world for these runty runabouts. Offering affordability-most are in the $10,000 price range-and impressive fuel economy of around 20 km per liter, Hello Kitty-cute kei could play a big role in the future of Japanese transport. "It's a good bet that minis are going to be an increasing part of Japan's auto market," says Christopher Richter, Tokyo-based auto analyst for investment...

What that statement illustrated was not so much Earnhardt's conundrum but her own failure to recognize that his celebrity was, is and will be the driving force behind the lucrative sponsorship deals and broad-based fan support that fuel the business. In a time when even well-heeled shops like Roush Racing are looking to outside investment capital to fund this very expensive sport, DEI just lost its biggest asset. No other driver, regardless of his success, could ever be as important to DEI as was the son and namesake...
