They can't have a 5 car team...

Kyle Busch may end up going to DEI in 2008.

Well...

Going to Hendrick. Surprise.

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/explantion, then introduced his new team owner Rick Hendrick and unvieled the Hendrick Motorsports logo. One thing noticed...the biggest smile ever seen on Dale Jr.'s face. (TV Coverage of the Dale Earnhardt Jr. Press Conference, transcript will be available later and posted.)
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)
