HAIL PIKEVILLE! Wrote:Jr will go to Childress IMO. He said something that got my attention in his press conference. He said that at 32 years old he is the same age his dad was when he made the biggest descision of his career. Of course he was referring to when SR decided to race for RCR. JR said numerous time today that he WILL remain in a CHEVY and that he wanted to sign with a top tier team. So that narrows it down to RCR,Hendrick,or Gibbs. Im glad hes leaving DEI. Teresa is more interested with maintianing SRs legacy than furthuring JRs career.

And he can't go to Hendrick unless Casey Mears is let go. They are at the 4-car limit. Gibbs and RCR have room to welcome Junior.

I agree, Junior is probably heading to RCR. I really hope he doesn't try to create his own NEXTEL team though - my opinion is that it would be a mistake.
