Because JR wants to go win championships, he has to step into a ride that already has top 35 owners points so he doesn’t have to race his way into every race. If this is the case, then somebody has got to lose their ride.
The whole thing is confusing to me. I know Jr would HATE for someone to lose their ride because of him. Also, if Gibbs would just decide on re-upping with Chevy that choice would be more viable. There are so many loose ends. It could be an obvious decision he’s made that I’m just not seeing. :)
Now if Hendrick could place Shrub with one of his Hendrick engine teams like Ginn that might make it easier. Of course that will just kill some Earnhardt fans to see him go to Hendrick. But if I could have cars like JJ’s every week, give them to me NOW!!
The merger with RCR and TEI engine dept is confusing to me also. That deal was on the table even before Jr left DEI. I am not sure Jr wants any part of TEI. And, considering the engine trouble Happy’s had off and on lately that may be a good decision.
I can’t see Ginn as an option because they are not winning, they have money but.....
RacingOne: If it were down to Ginn and Hendrick to sign Dale Jr. who do you think it would be?
Marlin: Ummm...I’d say Hendrick.
