I just heard on the speed channel that Dale Jr. just signed with Hendrick Motorsports, they haven't yet announced who will sponsor him or what number he will be driving yet though.

It is true. And I think it's GREAT! He'll have a wonderful opportunity to win - races and championships. It's likely that Budweiser will go with him - unless they still have a contractual obligation with DEI. He can't drive the number 8 next season unless Hendrick BUYS it from DEI, so he'll probably drive the number 5 since it will be vacated by Bush at the end of this season.

i guess you don't remember that he made the chase last year with Hendrick this is why i keep saying JR haters need a life, JR haters are the ones that start sh*t not the JR fans, here's a little advise, instead of complaining about every little thing about JR just watch the races and root for your driver, honestly i could care less if your a JR fan, if you don't like him then don't like him but don't be a JR hater, the haters just have no lives, once something happens they run to the comp to get on Y!A, they also bring up JR in answers to a question that has nothing at all to do with JR, kind of pathetic if you ask me, almost like the haters need attention also JR has just been having bad luck all season except for a few good finishes, the only times it was him was the first 4 or 5 races where he had trouble with the pits, after he stopped with that then all his bad luck has been with car trouble or been involved in a wreck that wasn't caused by him or wasn't his fault now i know some JR fans want to think he's the beat driver of all time, i know he's not but he's one of the better ones and will eventually be great, JR haters want him to be as good as his dad which will never happen because the only driver just as good than dale SR in the same era or generation is richard petty, also if you don't actually notice but JR is very good at being able to move up in the field from behind, he can start in 25th then 10 laps later he's closing in on 10th, i know he's not the only driver that can do that but he's one of them and not many driver can actually do that, JR is also very good at super speedways and at bump drafting, if you remember JR is actually 3rd in all time wins at Dega, his dad being 1st now im not going to make excuses for JR but i give what the truth is, he's not perfect but he's not as bad as this season makes him out to be, its just a bad season, Hendrick wouldn't have signed him if he wasn't a good driver, people say its because he makes them a lot of money which is true BUT Hendrick already had plenty of money so he doesn't need JR to make him more money, hell he already had Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordan i've been a JR fan ever since he came into spring cup and i'll always be loyal to him no matter what, a true fan is loyal while other fans will just pull for the best one, better to be a JR or Jimmie Johnson loyal fan than a fan that switches evey few years - oh and about the wreck, he just got loose so it wasn't his driving, rear got loose like other cars can do, also i hear that it was because of the oil leak that the oil got on the track and he ran the oil over, so if you want to blame him for his car leaking oil then i can blame you for evey car trouble you have that you had nothing to do with (that is if you even have a license and a car)

Ya he did, go JR!!! I have been a fan for years and despite all of the slack he may take over this decision from his fans, I truly believe that he made the right decision. Of all of the owners that wanted him, Hendricks is going to give him the best possible chance of winning a championship. I think he made the right move. Next season should prove to be very interesting.....

Yes, he had a press conference at 10:00 this morning. He came out and thanked everyone for their patience and then he said he would like to introduse his new boss starting in 2008 and out came Mr. Hendricks, they then took down the black background and there was a background that said Hendrick's motor sports all over it, it was neat to watch. They keep replaying parts of it on ESPN news.

Yes, he made the switch; Gordon and Sr. were close friends
