Default Dale Jr.

Who do you think Dale Jr. will drive for.........................
Tomorrow is the big day at 11:00AM Eastern Time On Spped Channel or www.nascar.com

I really think he will be with Hendricks Motorsports! !
He wants a championship, and Hendricks is probably the team to beat now days!

The Hendricks team is amazing. If Dale Jr. joins this team he will be matched up with some of the best drivers out there. Johnson and Gordon are both having great seasons! They can only have four cars though.....who would be the odd man out? My guess would be Kyle Busch.

Agree Mike. Get rid of Kyle Busch and put Jr. in it for 08. I've also heard Visa sponsorship with Joe Gibbs Racing. We'll see tomorrow.

It will be put up...........or shut up fo Jr. in 2008. We'll see if he's a winner. He only has 17 Victories and no Championships in Cup Racing.

Dale could not beat the Henderick boys so he might as well join the winning team and see if he can get his first title before Gordon gets another one after the one he will get this year

BTW the SPURS are up 3-0

I hope that Teresa is happy now. Dale Sr probably turned over in his grave.

I totally agree. If you cant beat em, you know the rest. Lets put him in a sprint car like Jeff Gordon or Tony Stewart etc & see what happens.

Dale Sr built DEI to have something for the kids. Darrell Waltrip said the Dale Sr told him that but Teresa has seem to have forgotten that somewhere after Dale Sr untimely death.

I bet Dale Sr would not have tolerated her actions if he were still with us. It is a crying shame that Jr can't drive for the company that his own dad built for him, his sister and brother. Teresa should realize that DEI is not "her" legacy and come to her senses.

I dont believe this is totally true. IF Dale Sr. had wanted the kids to have DEI, then he would have stated that in his will. He stated everything was to go to Teresa, not 10%, not 99%, but 100% to her..
