Evernham says plans are in works to buy out most of remaining interest in GEM

  Last Wednesday at the SEMA show, Ray Evernham was approached by a fan inquiring about what driver he will be bringing to Gillett Evernham Motorsports the upcoming season. Evernham responds implying that there will be a new driver but he will not be involved. Over the past few years, his involvement with the company has decreased immensely and he is looking to end his career with GEM, not with racing. His future definitely doesn't involve owning another racing team. He wants a role that allows him to spend more time with his son and have a more open schedule. Being considered one of the greatest innovators in racing, his involvement with racing is definitely not ending. It is almost ironic that since his decrease of involvement, GEM's performance has suffered. He hopes that GEM function just as well without him and accomplish much more. He is excited to move onto the next stage of his life.

I think that Evernham is doing great things with his life leaving GEM. He has been with them for so many years and has done great things for them. Racing is obviously his passion and it will be for the rest of his life.
