What a shock!!

Nothing stays a secret anymore. I wish they would not leak things before they officially announce them!!!

Of course he will be driving for the BEST team next year too!! It will be a good year.

I had heard talk of the 38, 83, even 08...I hadn't heard anything about the 88...so to me it is a surprise...And it will take some getting used to...Even though he drives the 44 this season , I still associate the 88 with Dale Jarrett

I wish he could've just stayed 8!

I hadn't heard anything about it until now. And I always associate 88 with Dale Jarrett. I didn't even realize he drove 44. LOL

I hope that he does better with Hendricks than what he has don with DEI. It's too bad he couldn't take over DEI.. it was his dad's..

WOOHOO!! I'm not going to say much about Dale Jr. leaving DEI (I have nothing good to say about Teresa, and what we now call TEI). I'm just glad he's going to get an opportunity to be competitive and possibly have a shot at a cup title. He's had a rough year, there's no doubt about that!

GO Jr. GO!!

He's changed his number, but I can't see changing my username! I'm signed up EVERYWHERE as no8fann! Even my email! I am NOT taking the time to change it now! Oh well!

Are you going to cheer for Mark Martin an Aric Amarola? They are sharing the 8 car next year.

Well, we don't have Sirrius radio, but I did insist we get Directv several years ago, so I wouldn't miss any of the races!! lol I heard on Sunday that the "rumor" was he was going to be in the 88, with Pepsico products, most likely a Mt. Dew beverage. So, no you're not the only one!!
