BCF4L said it correctly, Earnhardt will be sub par with Hendrick equipment. Johnson and Gordon are the bread winners for them and thats how it will be even with Earnhardt on board. They wont take away anything from those two drivers just to make Earnhardt a winner. He should know that himself, he is now a joke and possibly even a jerk. I dont see him keeping many fans after this.

Junior is a talented driver whose been racing junk the past few years at DEI. Kyle Busch is a hot-headed half-cocked shotgun that's been winning because he has great stuff, not because he's a great driver. I think Junior will have tremendous success in quality Hendrick machines and he's gonna be just as good as Johnson/Gordon. Fans will flock and change their opinions about Gordon/Johnson once Junior starts winning.

Fact is, everyone loves a winner, just look at the Yankees. It's easy to root for them and "good ol' boy" Junior fans will soon find that if you can't beat'em, join'em.
