“This will drive the Jr fans nuts.’
True. If JR does not win at HMS the JR nutcases will accuse HMS of hiring him (and handicappting him) to keep him from beating JJ and Flash, “JR gets the worse equipment.” What would drive them even more crazy would be if Biff gets the #8 car and WINS!! Oedipus!!
I still hope JR gets Visa as a sponsor so that when Flash and/or JJ beats JR hundreds of credit cards will be tossed on the track.
JR seems like a really nice guy and a good driver...but the best currently...?
“...and for the record I’m getting tired of the Bush in the Whitehouse as well. :)”
I with you on that; Bush is great on the WOT but MIA on the WOA. My Bush Cheney 04 bumber stickers came of a few weeks ago. Now when I cut off the cars with Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers they won’t know why :(
HMS is a machine, a money making machine. Hendrick is all about money. Jr will get the best equipment and technology available in NASCAR. Anyone accusing Hendrick of just hiring Jr. to handicap him is an idiot. NASCAR is all about money, Hendrick wants as much as he can get.
I still hope JR gets Visa as a sponsor so that when Flash and/or JJ beats JR hundreds of credit cards will be tossed on the track.
LOL, the yahoos that throw stuff onto the track probably can't get credit cards, LOL.

I don't think he is THE best, but one of the top 10 in NASCAR today. He is joining a team that has the best equipment. And he is in his prime, age-wise. I guess we'll see next year, he will have no excuses now. Time will tell.
“he will have no excuses now”
My point exactly, but some (we all know who they are) will not accept it if JR does not win as JR’s issue.
No kidding. I did the exact same thing.
My sticker was annoying me more than the liberal socialist in the area.
