By “rock on,” do you mean stick with Gibbs, or move to a different team?
I kinda think maybe he might benefit by a change of scenery. The idea of being part owner of his own car, and partnering with Hendrick on engine tech sounds like a good plan for him.
I mean move on... I think it’d be the best thing he could do at this point. He ain’t getting younger, and he ain’t getting the equipment and support (re: Jr/DEI). JMHO.
