But Junior will win at HMS. If he starts with a new CC, it will take awhile for them to gel, but that’s OK.I bet Tony Jr. will come over too. I agree, love or hate Hendrick, he has the best team in NASCAR. This was Jr.'s best choice.
For Junior's sake, I hope he does not bring Tony with him. Junior needs to take full advantage of this opportunity to start fresh. He'd be better off walking into an established HMS team -- 5 or 25, both of which have won this year -- and gelling with them. Why bring over ideas and personnel who are not making it happen for him at DEI? Junior says he wants a fresh start. This is a golden opportunity for him to do so, and actually gain better personnel and equipment, as well as to be part of a true team environment where all four teams share info.
I'm a long-time and very loyal Jeff Gordon fan. But I like Junior and am very happy for him. I've said many times that he needs to get out from under his father's shadow. This is Junior's life, not his dad's. So I hope Junior walks into a true HMS team instead of trying to duplicate the team he had at DEI.
