My 15 month old can come up with more original smack than Thender.

You've got me under your skin....

As expected, Dale Earnhardt Jr. announced on Wednesday that he will drive for Hendrick Motorsports beginning in 2008.

Earnhardt will replace Kyle Busch at Hendrick. No announcement was made in regards to sponsorship or what car number Earnhardt will drive. It was not announced where Busch will end up.

Earnhardt made the announcement at his JR Motorsports shop, saying when he announced in May his desire to leave his current team, DEI, that he wanted to find a place where he could win a championship. He said he found that man, then introduced his new team owner, Rick Hendrick in front of a Hendrick Motorsports backdrop.

"Winning is what it's all about for him," Earnhardt said of his new boss. "I feel like he's got great cars and I feel like we'll have success on the racetrack. It's a new chapter for me."

"This is a 'wow' day," Hendrick said.

The announcement ensures Earnhardt remains in a Chevrolet, something he desired from the outset and something Chevrolet representatives were happy about.

"We are proud he chose to stay with Team Chevy," said Brent Dewar; General Motors' North America vice president of vehicle sales, service and parts. "On behalf of General Motors and Chevrolet, congratulations to Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Hendrick Motorsports on the announcement of their partnership. They epitomize the Chevy spirit of competition. We wish them success as they embark on their new relationship."

The relationship began when Earnhardt was 14 and Hendrick offered him a contract on a napkin. Earnhardt signed it as a fun gesture, but on Wednesday looked back at how significant that moment was.

Hendrick said after several weeks of negotiating a contract extension, he and Busch agreed to part ways. Busch said in a statement that it was time to move on.

"I have been granted a release after the 2007 season," Busch said. "I have tremendous respect for Mr. Hendrick and everyone at Hendrick Motorsports. It's where I grew up, and I have a lot of great memories.

"I kind of feel like I'm graduating. I'm excited about my future, and I know a lot of opportunities await because of what everyone at Hendrick did for me -- on the track and off."

Earnhardt joins Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Casey Mears as a teammate. Hendrick Motorsports has won 10 of the 14 races this season.

That would be cool.

Flounder · 06-13-2007

Since Bud25fan isn't taken is Dave going to reserve that for Bud?fan ?

**mike** · 06-13-2007

why reserve it? Nobody else would want it.

Flounder · 06-13-2007

That is so true.

**Bud** · 06-18-2007

I haven't had the net all weekend so this is old news but I just found it at jayski today.

Earnhardt said Friday after qualifying at Michigan that there has not yet been any communication with DEI about obtaining the #8. "Obviously, we'll see if there's any interest from [team owner] Teresa [Earnhardt] and [DEI president of global operations] Max [Siegel] to do that, but they've probably got to answer a couple more questions of their own to be able to have a good idea how they feel about that," Earnhardt said. "Whether they feel like they have any interest in talking about it, I'm sure that's something Rick [Hendrick] and my sister [Kelley Earnhardt Elledge] would be interested in doing." Siegel said Friday that he would be willing to discuss a transfer of the number. "We're open to talk about anything," Siegel said. "But in order to consider it, there has to be some formal proposal. No one has contacted me. Other than knowing his desire to have the number, no one has approached me with a formal proposal. I'm not going to talk about it until I get one."(ESPN.com)(6-16-2007)

**Thender** · 06-18-2007

Make Jr. drive the 25!!!!

**mike** · 06-18-2007

I agree. Don't let him have the 8.

**Bud** · 06-18-2007

Pricks.

**Thender** · 06-18-2007

"Make Jr. drive the 25" is more catchy than Ricky Rudds "Release the 8"

Dave · 06-19-2007

Is a ZERO car available?

**Bud** · 06-19-2007

Nope, it's taken.
