I guess I can live with Jr at Hendricks as long as they get rid of the SHRUB.
He better get up on the wheel and start winning some races though cause there's no one to blame now but himself. He'll have the best of everything to go win a championship. |

I will vote for dale but never the other two p*ssies gordan and johnson, they both wine to much.
I have always like both Dale Sr and Jr just never liked the fact they drove chevys. Good drivers just could vote for them. |

RCR & a black #8!
(Can't ya just see the new black Bud cans Marketing, Marketing, Marketing!) I'm sure his old buddy Mikie would love to have him drive one of his toys - not. Please, Please not Hendricks and anywheres near those limp-wristed rainbow boys. |

Jr would do well with any of those teams. I hope he doesn't run the #3 car, because there are already too many comparisons for him to live up to. He needs to make his own name. I would be happy if DEI gave up the rights to the #8 and he kept that number, but I don't see DEI being that generous ... they have already proved that.
Reid, why did you have to say you were making up that part about meeting him at the car wash. That was the best part of the story. I have heard Jr is a very approachable person. |

Quinner, I've lost all respect for ..........
That was low, but amusing. I'm with you on the DEI StepMom and how she's being way short-sighted. Your boat sort of explains your driver loyalty: Rumors are swarming about an RCR anouncement........ |

Don't know a whole lot about the situation but it makes one wonder what Step Ma is thinking, if it is money I would think bringing in Jr in the long run would be more lucrative??
Hollywood, it could be worse, he could end up in a Toyota! Man do I love seeing those jap cars getting it handed to them by the good old boy's!! Reid, didn't even know they had Fords in Nascar, probably cause I usually only pay attention to the leaders!! PS, Jr and Gordon are my favorite drivers. |

Reid, I could see him driving your "BUD Nautique"
Look I told you guys, just cause it says bud ON the boat doesn't mean it's got bud IN the boat, you crazy, mutant... Correct Craft guys. |

I ran into Jr at the car wash yesterday and he said the only Ford he's ever had a desire to drive was my boat, if I'd just give him a chance, and that he just wished the Fords at the track were as dominant as they were in the speed boat world. I share his sentiments.
You can't walk into any business anywhere here right now and not hear conversations about this. Alan, you pretty much summed it up like this morning's Charlotte Observer. It was on the front page of the paper, and the headline on both the business section, and of course the sport's section. Root, not sure I'd buy into your reasoning in this particular case. I'm confident that even if Ford had won every single race this year that they couldn't lure Jr, as brand loyalty and family tradition are what's behind him, and I whole-heartedly respect that. Mark Martin and esp Bill Elliot before him surprisingly looked to the dollar combined with a lower pressure scenario when making near-legenday changes. Hollywood, I've lost all respect for you with that Ford comment, but concur with you on that Tony scenario. I'm a fan of both and what a pair they'd make..... I made up that part about the car wash. |

To me he needs to be
1. in a Chevy, 2. in a Chevy that can win 3. on a Chevy team that can provide some drafting help at restrictor plate races. Nate, Although I don't dislike Hendricks I'm not a fan either. I'd hate to see him go there simply because the rivalries are good for the sport. Besides how would the Earnhartt fans justify throwing beer cans at Gordon when he wins if they're teammates. Dale sr. and Gordon were actually good friends and business partners off the track but come sunday it was racing, I think there was a certain amount of respect on each side. They had the Racing for kids magazine and several real estate/business deals together, I think Dale just loved messing with him, right down to the glass of milk toast at the awards banquet. Reminicsing(sp) a little but I miss that attitude today. |

I heard he's finishing the year with DEI. I'd be blown away/nauseous if he gets behind the wheel of a FORD. I can definitely see him and Tony on the same team, that would be something. |

RANK MAKE POINTS BEHIND WINS 1 Chevrolet 87 Leader 9 2 Ford 57 -30 1 3 Dodge 46 -41 0 4 Toyota 30 -57 0 87BNF I can see why ford would want Jr. cause ford only has 1 win... Im not a big Jr. fan, but im shure he love's winning and Chevy has 9 wins this year. Im thinking 81nautique is close by saying he will go with RCR in the black #3 That WOULD be somthing to see.. |

I see a ford team trying to pick him up next year.. I believe he will finish this year with a chevy team. Depending on which team he goes with, will determine if he looks for a new team next year...

well he said he would stay with chevy.
and i heard last week that he was saying that his father & Gordon really weren't as bitter of rivals as his fans make it out to be. More like just his fans not liking him, not so much Sr. himself. Personally im a Hendrick(Gordon) fan so i think it'd be cool to see him with them, & watch his & his fathers heads basically explode, hahaha Nate |

Ok Nascar fans. Where do you think Dale Jr will end up now that he's parting company with DEI?
Will he go to Hendricks and become a teammate of one of his fathers rivals? Maybe a new teammate for Tony Stewart? Could he end up driving a.....FORD? That would be blasphemy. Maybe his own JR Motorsports moves to cup, I hope not. Owner drivers don't make it any more. Ask Michael How about RCR? Think Richard would ever put JR in the #3? That would be a thrill to see a black #3 on the track again. |
