Ok, so now little "E" is going to Hendrick Motorsports to join with Gordon, Johnson and Mears. Although sad about the move from DEI, as we all know how much Jr. wanted to stay for the sake of his Dad and his Father's legacy of building this Company with Jr. in mind, we have to be happy for him as this is a groundbreaking move for the young prodigy. What's especially interesting, is that he is going to be teammates with the "Rainbow Warrior", a driver that does not seem to have that great of a fan base and Jimmy Johnson. Perhaps this controversial move, will increase the respect for his teammates, and give Dale Jr. more of an edge when it comes to racing as far as new sponsors, new interest and a boost in Racing technology and engineering. Personally, I believe this will be a great boost to Jr's career, something that alot of fans DIDN'T expect and something to look forward to. Hendrick has alot of experience and access to the technology to produce winning drivers, as obvious from the winning record his current drivers benefit from. Putting aside all differences of opinion for Jr's new teammates, what are YOUR thoughts about this historic news in NASCAR?

Though I am not totally overjoyed that he chose to go to Hendrick. (Only bacause Gordon and Johnson are to whiney for me.)I do believe this will give him a chance to start winning again. This will also give him a chance to be his own man and not have to live so much in his father's shadow.
