So when he goes to Hendricks next year do you think he will do a lot better?

No. He just plain is not that great, or is his team...that's why he is leaving. Quit making excuses Jr fans

Of course he's not winning on purpose to piss off Theresa... DEI was meant to be left for Dale Sr.'s kids Theresa's pretty much running the company into the ground... She needs to give it to who it belongs to.... the kids are old enough now to run the company... they certainly know how to... or should by now, they grew up in it.... they know how it works... She was nothing but a gold digger to begin with. Just because she and Dale Sr. had one chld, she thinks she is entitled to the whole deal... if anything, Kerry Earnhardt should be given some control because he is the oldest and Dale's first son.
In answer to the second part of the question, I DO think that once he is at Hendrick's he will do a lot better... he won't have all the B.S. to deal with that Theresa is putting him through... the poor guy probably has so much on his mind that it's hard to focus on the racing because he has to worry about what is going to happen to DEI if Theresa continues her reign of terror.

I seriously doubt that. The reason he ain't winning is because he is not that great of a driver. What happens if he still loses at HMS, what excuses will they come up with then. The Jr Nation has always stated if he had better equipment he would win and another point is what if he starts to win, will they say he is cheating because that's all I heard this year is how HMS cheats.

I don't think Jr. is that petty. He's pissed at Theresa, yes. That has caused him to lose focus on his driving. How many engines has he blown this year? That's just "bad luck."
People need to stop bashing Theresa. Dale Sr. left her control of DEI. She was part of it when Dale Sr. was building this great team. Jr. doesn't deserve controlling interest. He is not the only Earnhardt heir. He's chosen to leave, so let it go.

It's called lack of talent. That's why he is not winning. It's not the equipment. Gotta have talent to win. Things won't change much when he goes to HMS next year. Only thing that will change is a decrease in team wins for Hendrick since Junior is there and not Kyle Busch.

No, although it would serve her right. However, what would that really accomplish for him except revenge? Which we all know can be sweet at times.
No, I really think that he has just had another off season, bad luck, bad equipment, etc.
Maybe you should examine DEI motives? Are they giving him the best equipment, chances at winning?
Yes, I think he will do better with Hendricks because they already have a really strong program/team in place. Rick Hendricks is not a stupid man, he wouldn't have taken JR. on if he didn't think he would be successful.

if he doesn't show he can win soon Theresa is going to be the least of his worries he is going to p*** off the Hendricks and new sponsors as i am very sure they are keeping a close eye on his performance this years so i doubt he is sandbagging on purpose

Dale Jr and Teresa have not spoken since he made the big announcement, he is dedicated to his team till the end of the yr, he wants to win, and make the chase... He will do tons better next yr better equipment and better organization..

In a word? No,he really can't do anything else to her then what he has and that's leave DEI and take all his fans and product endorsements with him.She lost a ton of money when she lost him.Nothing is more important to Jr. then winning races and making the chase.He and his fans will be really bummed if he doesnt make the chase so I really think,no,I know Jr, is trying as hard as he can to do just that.

No he is too good a sportsman to do that. He is leaving because he does not have the resources he needs to win.
Going to Hendricks he will have better everything.

Yes, it's all about talent. He has no talent with Theresa and he won't suddenly find talent with HMS no matter how good or bad the equipment is.
