Jr to stay with Hendrck thru 2017

[Harmonica Bear]

Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Hendrick Motorsports are going to be together for a long, long time.

More than a year before his current contract was scheduled to expire, Earnhardt signed a five-year contract extension that will keep him in the Hendrick camp through the 2017 Sprint Cup season. This brings to an end not only the speculation about Earnhardt's contract status, but any question about whether Earnhardt would break away from Hendrick and bring his JR Motorsports up to the Sprint Cup level in the foreseeable future.

I'm guessin Hendrick knows Jr can bring in sponsorship money

Yes, Jr can bring in the needed funds for a team to run the season.

Seems now that he may be in the Chase unless something really bad happens, he is going to be a contender for a few years as they build on their team.

HMS must be sure JR can be a contender for years to come and also fund the team with his name and popularity.

Ok, let's hear how Jr does not deserve to be in a cup car now. You guys know who you are.

Lets not.

[yaggie]

Surprised me.

[PurpleFloyd]

Good thing he can sell endorsement contracts because he sure can't win races. Fortunately he has his dads coat tails to ride on.

[LMITOUT]

Yawn.

Hey. If he won all the time, just think of how little whiskey river would have to be used

You're right Harvey. The #88 bashing posts are getting old. Just as old as the #18 bashing posts are.

[SledNeck]

I was reading something where Hendrick cars have 28 wins since Dale Jr's last win

[harvey lee]

I just knew you would post something like that about Jr Mr Sled.

You forgot to mentiuon how long of a streak Gordon went without a win or was this just a pick on Jr post??

[SledNeck]

Didnt think this was a Gordon thread

But 66 vs 117 race winless streaks? I don't think that's even worth comparing... Do you?

[harvey lee]

You know exactly what you are posting!!
