I kinda saw this coming, but was in denial about it....I was hoping that Theresa would do the right thing and honor her late husband's wishes to have Jr. in control of the company. I'd like to see Jr. go to RCR, but I think that he'd have a better chance of winning races and championships with Hendrick...he seemed to really like the horsepower under the hood when he ran the last few laps for Bush a few weeks ago 
P.S....I still feel that the #3 should go down in history as the only number ever retired from stock car racing, but I'm VERY bias as a lifelong Earnhardt fan.

Nascar is becoming close to being the WWF or whatever it is now. Its not about racing like it used to be, which really sucks. Think about it though, Jr without the name, would you pull for him if his last name was Gordon?
I really am not a Jr fan at all, really wasn't a Senior fan either, but I can appreciate what he did for the sport. I for one am a Tony Stewart fan, and would have liked to see JR sign with JGR, not because I like Jr, but because he and Stewart seem to run well together. I don't personally believe that Jr. is half the driver that his father was, but would like to see what he could do with a good team thats not just trying to make money off of his namesake.
Yeah, I pull for Gordon too.
