Well Im not happy about this but in all honesty I dont blame JR one bit. Hendrick has the best thing going in racing right now. The 5 car is a quality car that is currently in the top 10 in points inspite of Kyle Busch wrecking every other race. Imagine what JR could do in that car with Gustafson calling the shots? To all the people that have basically accused JR of commiting sacriledge heres some trivia for you: Who was the first driver to win a NASCAR race for HMS?...........Dale Earnhardt SR. Juniors Grandfather Robert Gee worked at Hendrick as well when they started so JR has some ties to the orginization. Im still not a Gordon or Johnson fan and I never will be. Im not a Kevin Harvick or Tony Stewart fan either does that mean I cant root for JR if he went to RCR or Gibbs? In short...NO! Some of you guys need to quit drinkin JRs sponsor so much its killing youre ability to rationalize.LOL! Now with all that being said the first time JR pulls over to let the 24 or 48 win is the last day I root for him. To be honest I dont think well see that.

Good post. As Rick Hendrick pointed out in the news conference, these guys are "teammates" until they get on the track and then it's every driver for themselves.

Also, I agree with Tom about Junior moving to the #5. It was the first car number Hendrick owned and he will not trade the #5 for #8 for the sake of Junior's branding image. Hendrick (or Junior I can't remember which) elluded that he would drive a number between 5 and 25. Well, that only leaves 5, 25 and the 8 if there was a trade. Would they do something like "08"? According to Jayski.com, that number is open.
