No, Hendrick already has 4 drivers and after next year I believe the limit will be 4 so that wouldn't leave room for Dale Jr. since they already have Kyle Busch, Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, and Casey Mears. The only way they could add him is if they got rid of someone, I think Casey Mears would be the only one that would have to worry. His contract probably isn't up for a while though since this is his first year in the car.

I don't know if he will go to Hendrick Motorsports or not due to the limitations on how many cars an owner can have, but I think that there will be a lot of discussion about using Hendrick in whatever decision JR makes. My opinion is, Hendrick should dump Casey and pick up Jr. That would be beneficial for all parties. Imagine NASCAR'S most popular driver teamed with the hottest organization in NASCAR right now! AWESOME!!!!!

I doubt it. That's too much competition for the spotlight. He'll either head his own race team using Hendrick motors or enter a program that doesn't have a full fleged star. RCR still isn't out either, but a lot of big players there too. As for the Jeff Gordon thing...I give it a 10% or less chance.

No, most likely he will end up at Ginn Racing. With the fact that Ginn gets Hendrick engines maybe they would work together some at the superspeedways. Jeff, Jimmie and Jr drafting and helping each other would be tough to beat.

No way. Hendricks already has 2 champions. They also have Kyle Busch, a young decent driver and Casey Mears, just give him some time. They don't need Jr

No. Plus Hendrick has a 4 car team and he won't be letting Mears go. Because the one wrecking Casey Mears this year is his own team mates.

It would be the best thing for him. He still would never be as good as Gordon just because he is not the driver Gordon is. Even his dad said that before he died.

I think he will use hendrick motors but stay with his own Busch series team.
At least that's the rumor, I don't see top notch superstars like that teaming up like that, but then again look at Jimmie Johnson.

I doubt it. Earnhardt vs Gordon is made for the race track. Earnhardt + Gordon? I dont think so.

Hendricks has his 4 drivers, but Hendricks is supposed to supply him with engines....maybe he may start winning a race or two
