Just found this on foxsports.com:

Sources close to the situation have told FOX Sports analyst Larry McReynolds Junior will indeed call Hendrick Motorsports home next season and will be driving the No. 5 car currently occupied by Kyle Busch.

Ya know......I live in North Carolina and I’m sure this is huge news somehow to NASCAR fans (I’m not one), but I have no idea the import of this.

It wasn’t really that big a deal, Hendrick gave Honda Motor executives gifts in exchange for a bigger ration of Honda Cars for his dealerships.

He pleaded guilty to bribery and paid a big fine and also I think some house arrest, (not 100% sure on the house arrest part).

Anyway, a few years later he couldn’t get over the fact that he had a criminal conviction following him around so he had some influential friends with access to the President help him get his pardon.

For all of the charity work he has done and his endowments to leukemia research and the fact that he has had no prior or subsequent trouble with the law, I don’t begrudge him his pardon.

What does trouble me was that there are rumors that it cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars to get it which unfortunately was the way Clinton operated.

Ironic that he had to bribe the POTUS to get a pardon for bribery.
