Nothing "Junior" About This

Dale Earnhardt Jr. is going to be racing for Rick Hendrick in 2008. I knew it the minute he sat in Kyle Busch's car when Kyle left the racetrack a few months ago and Dale was already out of the race. (Kyle is moving on in '08.) This is huge. This is terrific. At the conference today, Rick Hendrick said he has known Junior since he was a "puppy" and that Senior must be looking down and smiling. Apparently there was a "napkin contract" between Rick and Junior when he was a kid where they signed it saying they would race together someday. It's finally coming true.
