Well, I can say that Im kinda glad he's moving to Hendricks team, like it has been said before, now he'll have the equipment and sources he needs to contend for a championship. Plus, he his family has been close to the Hendricks since the beginning and at one point Dale Sr. raced for Hendricks. I think its a great business decision all around. As far as the number 8, that belongs to DEI and Lil E will have to do some bargaining to get that away from her. Don't know if it will happen. I don't see Budweiser leaving his side though, he makes them too much money.

[QUOTE=txfiremedic;1551713] Plus, he his family has been close to the Hendricks since the beginning and at one point Dale Sr. raced for Hendricks. QUOTE]
Dale Sr. drove the 1st Busch car Hendrick ever fielded.
Gordon is one of the best. Look at his wins - races & championships.
However, I can tell you why I dislike him. In racing, when a car is faster than you, courtesy dictates you let them by. Gordon will be the 1st to complain about someone racing him hard when he is faster, but the last one on the track to move over when the rolls are reversed. Of course this all goes out the window after your last pitstop as they are all racing hard regardless of lap times, but that is my main reason for disliking him. It seems to never fail, if I watch a race, which I don't as much as I used to, I see him complaining about something. But I guess they all do at some point or another....

Mr. Hendrick and Budweiser. That seems like a strange combo. He is a rather devout Christian. Actually encouraged Gordon to give his life to Christ. I'm happy for Jr. That whole team should be a good influence on him, personally and professionally. A red #25 will take some getting used to. Does this mean Kellogs will go to the #8 DEI? You know that organization is a little flakey.

My buddy was at a night club in Austin and said that Gordon was a complete"you know what" to everyone. Trust me, my buddy hasent seen 10 minutes of NASCAR in his life so he's not bias. As for him being the best ever, hardly. Ill still throw chicken bones and beer cans at Gordon.

So I take it you don't force a change in their behavior these days? Most of who I am came from the reprogramming my Father got courtesy of the Corps in 1943.....
In any case, I can clearly tell you guys why I dislike Gordon, and it has nothing to do with his talent, for he certainly is a fine "race car driver". I dislike him because I am old school NASCAR, the hallowed shrine of bootlegger racin. In my estimation, he, and several others have not the mentality nor the ability to run with the true greats. I would liken it to NASCAR being the Marines and F1 being the Air Force, and Jeffy boy is much more suited as a flyboy than a grunt.
Boy I stepped in a pile there, better get my triple layer flame suit on..........

u take it as a bad thing? I was a J.Gordon fan and still am since birth, but when dodge started racing, i became a kahne fan, but still am loyal to Gordon. Dale is gonna add some fun to the team, lots of wins!!!!
