Dale Jr.
 

wow....going to Hendrick Motorsports and not Childress.

Gordon, Johnson, bush, Mears and....Little "E"...quite a lineup, they never lose now!

boring boring same teams winning the races.:eek:

Yeah but Gordon and Dale together could be really interesting!

Dale WHO?

Press Conference tomorrow at 11am

Who will be the lucky driver that all the Earnhardt fans are going to hate and throw crap at now that Gordon will be his teammate? It is a dark dark dark day for all of the Earnhardt fans. I hope they make him drive a rainbow colored Gummy Bears Car, the fans would S#*t themselves!

Good thing I'm a Carl Edwards fan. :p

sounds like NASCAR has a Sheikh Mo.

They can't have a 5 car team...

Kyle Busch may end up going to DEI in 2008.

Well...

Going to Hendrick. Surprise.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. to drive for Hendrick in 2008: announced via live on TV, Dale Earnhardt Jr., current driver of the #8 Budweiser Chevy for DEI, will drive for Hendrick Motorsports starting in 2008. Dale Jr. started the press conference with a short speach/explantion, then introduced his new team owner Rick Hendrick and unvieled the Hendrick Motorsports logo. One thing noticed...the biggest smile ever seen on Dale Jr.'s face. (TV Coverage of the Dale Earnhardt Jr. Press Conference, transcript will be available later and posted.)
Hendrick was asked about having a full stable of drivers, Hendrick immediately brought up Kyle Busch and working on a contract extension, that Busch was talking to other teams, Hendrick said conversations with Busch led both to realize it would be better for Busch to look at his other opportunities and part ways, but that Busch would run the #5 Chevy for the remainder of the season.
As for a car number and sponsor for Dale Earnhardt Jr., Hendrick said none of that has been finalized as of yet. (TV Coverage of the Dale Earnhardt Jr. Press Conference, transcript will be available later and posted)(6-13-2007)

Same here! :)

now "Jr." has gone from "top dog" with DEI to 3rd stringer with Hendrick...can't see how this move will put him on top.

Hendrick technology is by far the best in NASCAR, they've been totally dominant with the COT as well as the old car, Jr's complaint was lack of technological support, he'll have it now. And, working with Gordon will make him a better driver...talent will rise to the top and Hendrick will have a three-way battle for top gun for years to come.

Working with Gordon will make him better? Jeff is a lousy teammate. It's always all about Jeff... this will not bode well IMHO.

While Hendrick technology is the best in NASCAR (right now), the #5 and #25 cars have not been afforded the same luxuries as the 24 and 48. That's a fact.

All of this garbage stems from the COT (which is a disgrace to the sport.) Hendrick is pretty much the only team that has figured it out so far, but it won't be that way forever. NASCAR thinks it is doing what it needs to do to survive. They are attempting to level the playing field with the car of tomorrow and by limiting multi-car team numbers. It ain't working.

I'm ashamed of the direction the sport is heading as are many of the team members involved more intimately with it.

Exactly....wasn't always that way Rousch was untouchable just a few back.....

thanks for living up to my expectations of you...except rooting for that horse toothed jacka$$

I know, I know... but he's just so... NICE. (OK, he looks good too.) :D

What do you think Sadler will do if Kasey Kahne gets the Bud sponsorship like it's being rumored? I hate that ESad is on the back burner of that team. Kinda sucks, although Kasey hasn't been running good either. Eventually, they'll all get this new car figured out. I just wish it was sooner rather than later...

Oh you know, I just deal with it from Erin I actually like the guy.

Unfortunately, I'm starting to believe all the whining Mayfield did in the 19 was somewhat justified. Could be worse he could be Riggs.....

My future brother in law, his mother and father in law are all ill....and I can't say it's not fun as hell....:D

I'm still somewhat in shock that Hyder is crew chiefing Mayfield...

Did you decide if you're going to Toga?

I guess if Bud went to the 9, Dodge wouldn't be splitting their sponsorship across two cars....who knows now that I think about it.

Probably not....at least opening weekend.
