DEI will still be around... I imagine they will find another driver. But DEI without DE... mmm.

Jr. has needed this for a while... time to get a team behind him that will actually let him win some races. Gordon, Johnson, & their crew seem unstoppable right now.

I know that Budweiser is going with Jr. but has it been said how much of his current crew will be going with him?

True. I think everyone is gonna go with him, probobly truex also. He hinted that Teresa owns the number 8 and that she's not going to let it go. But I bet he'll still be driving a budwiser chevy.

He said he does not want to drive the #3 yet. He should go to Hendrick. Prob will go with Childress or Gibbs. Tony's new teammate? I'm a SR fan, I wish JR well, love the drama. 24 for the Championship this year!

They would have to get rid of one of their drivers at Hendrick.

Tont and Jr are really really good friends. Jr even got him into the Chevy Impalla Comercial. + He is a BIG fan of the Redskins and Jo Gibbs, so I'd almost put $$ down he go's there. He also said he only wants to drive for Chevy, so it looks like RCR/Gibbs. I'd Love just about more than anything for him to go to Hendricks and them get rid of mears (Even tho I had high hopes for mears) But I don't see them kicking Mears for a while. He has like 2 more years I think.

Yeah supposedly Mears can't drive cars set up like Gordon's, Jimmy or Kyle. Maybe he just can't drive?? Hendricks is building cars just for him. **** let me drive any of those cars and I'll find a way to make it work.

It will be interesting to see what happens next year. It will definetly be a toss up as to where Junior goes, either RCR or Gibbs, but don't rule out Ginn racing either. Mark Martin is doing pretty good in the 01. But I don't see Hendrick giving up one of his drivers just so he can get Junior into one of his cars. As for DEI, i see them merging with Yates and running Fords next year.

RuSSo, don't give up on Mears yet, they were talking to him the other day and he said that they just haven't found the right combination for him yet. He has tried driving all of his other teammates cars and they didn't work for him. Remember he drove a Dodge for the last 4 years and he also has a new crew chief. They said they are building him brand new cars, so I forsee him getting up to speed by the end of the year.

You nailed that one right on the head. I can see in five years Junior buying DEI for dirt cheap once Teresa runs it into the ground.

I'm actually I HUGE CHEVY GUY, So this season has been just about a dream come true us winning 9 of 10, but I'm also a Big Hendricks guy! And when I heard Mears was coming I was figgin pumped. I thought of him as one of the most under rated drivers last year. But Man has it been hard to root for him this year. Every week there is some problem. i didn't realize he was running the other 3's setups, and I think its cool there gunna build him his own cars. (I guess when your used to running a POS Dodge, its hard running awesome in a chevy cuz your so used to sucking) I'm very confident Jr go's to Gibbs, and thats just awesome! And as for DIE, I mean DEI, I don't see them changing to Fords even the RYR builds them motors good, Chevy is the smart Move to make and stay with. I think the end of DEI would be for the to move to FORD IMO.

If DEI sells out and starts running fords, I can picture Dale Sr. rolling over in his grave.

Just ain't right
