Personally I feel better about his decision today since the idea of him running his own team seems not to be high on the priority list and would rather hire on with an established team,my guess is RCR,but I will say one thing NO NUMBER THREE CAR!. I saw the #3 car for the last time as far as I am concerned on Feb. 18th 2001.Richard already has the #33 so that would be my guess.They won't be able to make enough meomorablia to keep the shelves stocked.
I think Hendrick would provide the best oppurtunity to win a championship,but as a fan I don't feel Jr. would fit in very well over there,seems to be a different enviroment at HMS.
Gibbs is another choice,it would be interesting to see if Joe Gibbs would accept the beer sponsorship(I would bet no).
So really the only logical choice is RCR,I don't think that Hendrick would want to move Mears after only one year,but when you are talking about the most popular and most marketable driver in Nascar all bets are off,the owners must all have dollar signs in their eyes thinking about all the possibilites.
Jeff Hammond had the best comment he said DEI has now lost their second Dale Earnhardt.
