I am a Jeff Gordon fan and I am not at all happy with this decision. However, Jr should be happy Hendrick would take him. Maybe now he might win a race or lead a lap at the very least. His fans throw beer cans at Jeff but I can guarantee Jeff had some say in this decision. Can we all say Thank You Jeff?

the way i see it and the way it sounded on tv this morning is that Hendricks was honored to have such a driver....
It wasn't just his fans throwing cans. it was the whole fan base that's against Gordon... i was at the taladaga race and i saw many different fans throwing cans.. not just Jr....
besides Jr can not help what other fans do,...don't put that off on him..
Your just afraid that Jr.'s gonna show Jiffy up now,...and he probably will..
go Jr go

I am Jr fan and he made the right decision for himself and let's not forget that Hendrick drafted him. Hendrick is the best team out there and and now it will be even better. As far as my fellow Jr fans throwing beer cans at Jeff Gordon, that is unacceptable! People need to show some respect even if they aren't a fan of the 24 car. You'll have idiots in every crowd.

It is going to be real interesting having NASCAR's three top names on the same team. Question who is going to get the top billing now? Jeff Gordon, Jimmy Johnson or Jr.
But don't look for Jr. to start winning right away, there is still the pit crew that plays a big part in the races:
Recall after Jeff won the Championship and Hendrick shifted all the pit crews around.
I.E. moved Jeff Gordon's and Jimmie Johnson's pit crews to the young drivers and pit Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson with the younger less experienced pit crews.
It has taken Jeff from then to this year to start back winning races regularly.

It is the best move that Junior can make. Hendrick has the BEST organization in all of NASCAR. They win races and championships. They are passionate about racing and winning. Hendrick and Junior are old friends.
Jeff Gordon is, well, Jeff Gordon. He is one of the all-time greatest drivers in all of motorsports. With 79 wins, four championships and counting, he is the senior member of the team. He learned a lot from Dale, Sr. and can probably teach Dale, Jr. a thing or two.

Thank you Jeff for what?
Hendrick's is the one that Hired Jr.
As for the throwing of beer cans, that wasn't right. I agree that it was wrong and should not have happened. Even Jr. said not to throw beer cans at Gordon. But Jr. hasn't the control over the people in the grandstands, nor does any other driver. And whose to say that it was just Jr. fans that did it. There are hundred's of thousand's of people in those grandstand's. And they aren't "all" Jr. Fans.

Contrary to most beliefs, Jr's decision was based on what was good for him. I am sure that he considered all the offers. Ultimately Jr.s is a driver, a competitor. It is about racing not personalities. Jeff and Jr are not enemies, they never were. On the course they are rivals.
Jr. is his own man. He makes his decisions, perhaps now the soap opera will end and he can get back to racing. I wish him all the luck and safe racing. You go Jr.

I hope Jr can start winning some races now with Hendrick!
