POSTED 6/13/07 DALE EARNHARDT NEWS
Dale Earnhardt Jr. to drive for Hendrick in 2008: announced via live on TV, Dale Earnhardt Jr., current driver of the #8 Budweiser Chevy for DEI, will drive for Hendrick Motorsports starting in 2008. Dale Jr. started the press conference with a short speach/explanation, then introduced his new team owner Rick Hendrick and unveiled the Hendrick Motorsports logo. One thing noticed...the biggest smile ever seen on Dale Jr.'s face.Hendrick was asked about having a full stable of drivers, Hendrick immediately brought up Kyle Busch and working on a contract extension, that Busch was talking to other teams, Hendrick said conversations with Busch led both to realize it would be better for Busch to look at his other opportunities and part ways, but that Busch would run the #5 Chevy for the remainder of the season.As for a car number and sponsor for Dale Earnhardt Jr., Hendrick said none of that has been finalized as of yet. (TV Coverage of the Dale Earnhardt Jr. Press Conference, transcript will be available later and posted)(6-13-2007)

I think Dale will have a good chance at winning a championship.I do not have to like Jeff he is just a team mate now.
I CAN NOT BELIEVE HE REALLY DECIDED TO GO WITH HENDRICK. I THOUGHT ALL ALONG HE MIGHT BUT WAS REALLY HOPING FOR RCR. I JUST HOPE THIS WAS THE BEST CHOICE FOR HIM. I WILL CHEER HIM ALL THE WAY TO VICTORY LANE.
I understand that he feels he will have better opportunities to win races but dang Hendrick's!I personnally would have rather seen him run for team TOYOTA......as to him hooking up w/Hendrick!But still I hope he finds what he is looking for...........WMS80
dale sucks.. if it wasnt 4 daddy hed be nothing!... he might be the most popular driver in nascar but ,,,,hell never be like dad!
THIS IS FOR THE DALE SUCKS COMMENT.
I AM NOT SURE THAT YOU ARE IN ANY POSITION TO SAY WHO OR WHAT GOT DALE JR TO WHERE HE IS. IT HAS BEEN MADE VERY CLEAR THROUGHOUT HIS CARRER THAT HE HAD TO WORK FOR ANY AND EVERYTHING HE WANTED. DALE SR. DIDN'T EVEN WANT HIM TO RACE IN THE BEGINNING. DALE JR WORKED AND STRUGGLED AS YOU OR ME WOULD. YES I AM SURE THE DOOR WAS PROPPED OPEN BECAUSE HE IS AN EARNHARDT. BUT ONE THING STRAIGHT, DALE SR AND DALE JR ARE TWO SEPERATE PEOPLE. IT IS NOT FAIR THAT YOU COMPARE THE TWO. DALE JR WILL ALWAYS HAVE TO LIVE IN HIS FATHERS SHADOW AND THAT IS A SHAME. HE HAS TO BE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO BE HIS OWN MAN AND I THINK WITH THE MOVE TO HENDRICK HE IS STANDING UP ABOVE ALL TO SAY "HEY, I AM WHO I AM. I CAN MAKE UP MY OWN MIND AND THIS IS WHAT I AM GOING TO DO." AND I SUPPORT HIM 100% WITH EVERY DECISION HE MAKES. IT TOOK ALOT OF COURAGE TO BEABLE TO TAKE A STAND LIKE THAT. AND HE DID IT WELL!!!
to who responded.. DALE sucks i hv my opinion u hv yours! thank you.. ...... and like i said,,,, he'll never be like dad!
I like Dale Jr and am a big fan, but do agree he will never be like Dad. He's good though
NO ONE SEEMS TO UNDERSTAND OR GET THE POINT. DALE JR.'S WHOLE REASON BEHIND DOING WHAT HE HAS DONE IS TO SEE WHAT IS IT GOING TO BE LIKE TO STEP OUT OF DAD'S SHADOW. HE WILL FIND OUT WHO ARE REALLY HIS FANS AND WHO WERE DADDY'S FANS. HE CAN NO LONGER BE COMPARED TO "DADDY". HE WILL BE THE FIRST TO TELL YOU THAT HE IS NOT LIKE DADDY. YOU THAT SAY HE "SUCKS" HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY THAT. BUT BEFORE YOU CAST JUDGEMENT, THINK ABOUT HOW YOU WOULD FEEL IF YOU LIVED DAY TO DAY BEING COMPARED TO SOMEONE. YOU ARE YOUR OWN PERSON, YOU HAVE YOUR PERSONALITY, YOUR QUALITIES, YOUR THOUGHTS AND YOUR BELIEFS. IT IS NOT FAIR TO JUDGE SOMEONE BASED ON STEROTYPICAL OPINION.
like someone said,, daddy didnt want him racing,,, ummm cause he knew he wasnt good enough,,,,hhmmmm whats he done when daddy was alive ,,,,?
???????????? ,nothing,, whats he doing now? ummm nothing,, hes just a spoiled rotten brat!,, everyone thinks hes cool ,, a PARTY ANIMAL, WELL YALL THAT LIKE THAT LIFE,, THATS COOL,, BUT THAT MIGHT BE HIS WHOLE PROBLEM,,,,, NOW THE SPOILED BRAT WANTS HIS NUMBER BACK... HENDRIX SAID HED BUY HIS NUMBER BACK FOR HIM,,, GEEZ HOW SPOILED DO U THINK HES BECOME???????? and to the person that said dale will have a good chance to win a CHAMPIONSHIP,,,, with hendrix.... well what makes u think that will happen with him going to hendrix racing? come on now... why couldnt he do anything with dei racing? was his equipment not as good as , hendrixs equipment is?,, or do u think ..or does dale earnhardt think that with hendrix setting up his car? hell do lots better? ,, well time will tell,, but I VERY MUCH DOUBT IT FOLKS,, YES U DO HV TO HAVE A GOOD CAR,, BUT U ALSO HAVE TO HAVE A GOOD DRIVER TOO...,,, U WOULD THINK THE MAN WOULD OF ALREADY WON A CHAMPIONSHIP ALREADY IF HE WAS THAT GOOD,, BUT HE HASNT AND WONT... :) THANK FOR YOUR TIME,, AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS BEFORE YOU GIVE YOUR OPINION TO WHAT I HAVE SAID!!!!!!! TO ALL YOU DALE FANS,,, I SAY GO DALE!!!!!!!!!!!
no dale stepped out on his own,, because the spoiled lil brat couldnt hv control over DEI racing,,.. if he cant hv control ,, then i guess hell quit the company that got him to were he is now... what a back stabbing brat!!,, i bet daddys looking down ,, saying DAMN BOY,,,
IT'S FUNNY HOW YOU FORM YOUR OPINIONS BASED ON WHAT THE MEDIA TELLS US. YOU DO NOT LIVE HIS LIFE OR KNOW WHAT GOES ON IN IT ON A DAILY BASIS. HE IS ONLY LOOKED AT AS A "PARTY ANIMAL" B/C OF SPONSORSHIP OF BUD AND THE WAY THEY WANT HIM PROMOTED. THAT IS NOT WHY I LIKE HIM. I LIKE HIM FOR HIM. YES, I THINK HE CAN DRIVE A CAR...I AM NOT SAYING HE IS THE BEST BUT HE CAN DRIVE. I THINK IF YOU TOOK THE TIME TO TRY TO KNOW WHAT HE LIFE IS ABOUT AND WHAT HE HAS GONE THROUGH BEFORE AND AFTER HIS DADDY'S DEATH YOU MIGHT APPRECIATE AND RESPECT HIM A BIT MORE. JR. STEPPED AWAY FROM DEI B/C HE IS NOT HIS DADDY AND DOES NOT WANT TO BE HIS DADDY. HE IS WHO HE IS!! NOTHING MORE OR NOTHING LESS. FACE IT, HE MIGHT BE AN EARNHARDT BUT HE IS STILL A PERSON. I THINK THE DIRECTION HE IS GOING SHOWS HE CAN STAND UP AND BE PROUD OF HIS DECISIONS. HE DOES NOT HOLD HIS HEAD IN SHAME. I THINK SR. IS WORRIED ABOUT IS IF HE GOT WHAT HE WANTED OUT OF IT. SR. WAS A VERY BRIGHT BUSINESS MAN AND JR. IS AS WELL. AS FOR HIM BEING A BRAT...YOU ARE CRAZY. SR. TAUGHT HIM TO WORK FOR ANYTHING HE WANTED AND HE DID JUST THAT. AND IS STILL DOING IT TO THIS DAY. ONE THING ABOUT IT...EARNHARDT OR NOT, HE'S DONE SOMETHING RIGHT B/C HE IS NASCAR AND YOU ARE NOT.
