Why did Dale Earnhardt Jr. go to Hendrick Motorsports?

He wasn't allowed much in the form of decision making at DEI, and he had a close friendship with Hendrick and his late Son, It was the obvious move. I to am happy he did. Answer

Because he's a smart guy. Let's face it Hendrick's got it figured out. Gordon and Johnson are great drivers, (especially Gordon), and Hendrick's domination in the last 10 years is unquestionable. Also, the Hendrick team has figured out the Car of Tomorrow, and have won nearly all those races this year. Junior wants to drive for a winner. And you can writhe and Nash your teeth all you want, but this is a winning team.

At last, Gordon and Junior are teammates. Yeah. I like it. What do you think all the hillbillies with summer teeth are going to think of their boy Junior now? Their faith in the system must be really in doubt.

It's a great move for Hendrick, it's a great move for Junior, and now we'll have a product in the Hendrick team with him replacing Kyle Bush, that isn't so unpredictable.

Yeah, Jeff and Junior. What a team.
