And business partners.

Ok...good kid, yes. Nextel Cup caliber, no. I will admit that he has skills, but he's too immature for the Nextel Cup level. And it's obvious by his brother's (repeated) actions that the immaturity thing isn't a Kyle-only issue. Both of them need to grow up a LOT.

you'll probably be disappointed with the 8, but Bud should go with him...be stupid NOT too...but also, could see mears switch to Kelloggs, and Bud go with Jr to the 25...

10 more minutes, time to leave here and get on NASCAR.com

Stewart has the skills to manage the car and its capabilities. Way behyond what either Busch has. Kurt points-raced his way to that ONE championship. I'll swear to that till the day I die.

This thing has been in the works for a long time .. Rick has had his eye on doing this for several years .. Things fell in place perfectly, and Rick was in a position to take advantage of things.

JR has a ton of respect for Jeff, and gets along great with him and Jimmy .. Now that Casey has won a race, there will be a lot of harmony in the Hendrick camp.

This also now means that about 70% of all the Nascar fans will be fans of a Hendrick driver.

This will be good for everyone invloved, especially the tatto artist that first figures out how to change the 8 tatoos into JR's new number.

Hendrick and Jr. both opened the door that they'd like the opportunity to negotiate for the #. Jr. also said that there are other numbers he has interest in.
