Dale, Jr. has scheduled a press conference for tomorrow, Wednesday, June 13, to announce his plans for next year. This will be the biggest NASCAR press conference since his last one, last month to announce he was leaving DEI.
There is speculation that he will announce he's going to drive for Hendrick next year. Joe Gibbs Racing has said numerous times that they are not willing to work with his sponsor, Budweiser. Richard Childress in in Africa on a hunting expedition. So, that leaves Hendrick. Kyle Busch is supposedly asking to be let out of his contract early. My guess is that he's heading to DEI.
We'll all know tomorrow!

Well I can tell you one thing. If Jr. does go with Hendricks my husband will be very happy. He is a big time Gordon fan, but many of his friends are Jr. fans. So this will give him something to pick on them about. My husband asked me to tape the conference for him seeing how he will be at work. So if anyone finds out what channel it is going to be aired on, please post it! Thanks!

I forgot about the conference until about 11:30, the kids made a hugh mess this morning that I was busy cleaning up and didn't realize what time it was. So do you know if they will re-air the conference? I only got to tape it from 11:30 on.

Nascar.com is talking like Jr will be replacing Kyle Bush at Hendrick, and Hendrick use to run the Budweiser logo back in the 1990's so it looks like you might be right. I was hoping he would stay in his own shop. and I am not big on Hendrick but we will see in 17 hours LOL
