June 12, 200719 yr Both ESPN and FoxSports are speculating that it's Hendrick. Apparently, there's rumor that Busch may be out of the #5 car before the season is over. http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/news/story?seriesId=2&id=2901813 http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar/story/6914572
June 12, 200719 yr Well, if so, looks like the Hendrick camp just got 95% better. He'll be 3rd fiddle to Johnson and Gordon.
June 12, 200719 yr He'll be 3rd fiddle to Johnson and Gordon. Is Johnson second fiddle to Gordon.....or vice versa?
June 12, 200719 yr Is Johnson second fiddle to Gordon.....or vice versa? I pretty much would put them neck and neck.....It's just good to see the 24 back on top after being MIA the last couple years.Personally I think this could be a great move for everyone involved.The 8 will get the technology of HMS who seemed to of come full circle while DEI has seemed to of gone backwards.
June 12, 200719 yr From Jayski.com: UPDATE 2: ESPN.com's Marty Smith reports: Dale Earnhardt Jr. on Wednesday will announce his intent to drive the #5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevy in 2008, multiple sources with intimate knowledge of negotiations told ESPN.com Tuesday on condition of anonymity. Hendrick Motorsports declined comment Tuesday, and e-mails and calls sent to Earnhardt's representation were not returned. Kelley Earnhardt Elledge, who has handled contract negotiations for her brother, declined to comment on the report. There was some speculation that the wheels are already in motion to plant Earnhardt in the #5 now driven by Kyle Busch before season's end, but Dale Earnhardt, Inc. president Max Siegel, contacted by phone Tuesday, discounted that scenario, saying Earnhardt would remain in the #8 through season's end. Sources said there are indications that Busch may not finish the year in the #5. Busch is under contract with HMS through the end of next season, and Hendrick had been working to sign the 22-year old driver to an extension. Jeff Dickerson, an attorney for Busch, told ESPN.com that "a lot of things may or may not occur. Out of respect for Hendrick Motorsports, we're not really sure what's going on yet. But we're trying. I don't think anything's changed yet. I can not tell you that Kyle is out of the #5 for 2008." It is unknown whether sponsor Budweiser will follow Earnhardt to Hendrick.(ESPN.com), the Associated Press is reporting similar news/speculation.(6-12-2007)

If Junior plays 3rd fiddle, but is still in the Chase every year and gets a few wins.....I'm okay with it. Everyone is talking about how Junior's fans will react to him going to Hendrick. Will he lose fans? Etc? Wonder how the Junior haters who love Gordon and JJ will react?

I think when the 24 is pushing him down the back stretch at Taladaga they wont be complaining much:D
