The wait may be over


Dale Jr. has called a press conference for Wednesday at JR Motorsports and his spokesman Mike Davis says it’s to announce his plans.

The garage is full at Hendrick, which leaves Chevy teams at Childress’ and Gibbs’ places.

Rick Hendrick himself put the quietus at his team, full up with the four NASCAR will allow. But anonymous Associated Press sources say Hendrick has been working for weeks on a way to add him to the stable, which may include releasing Kyle Busch.

There are issues at Gibbs Racing with the Budweiser sponsorship thing.

The issue at RCR is the fact Junior doesn’t want to spend the next 10 years of his career running his dad’s number (read legacy). But he wouldn’t mind finishing his career in the Black 3.

This gives a really big reason to come out to Ona Speedway on Saturday and see Junior and hear what he may have to say.

As the story is updated today, we’ll pass it along to you.

On Wednesday, we’ll monitor SPEED, which will interrupt programming at 10 a.m. EDT for the press conference, which should last about one hour.

All signs now point to Kendrick. And I don't know about anyone else, but I am downright giddy at the prospect of watching the Jr. Nation deal with having Jeff Gordon as a teammate...
