we have spent a lot of time and space here talking about the future of Dale Jr ..... but what about the future of the driver he is replacing ?

it seems that it has become a fact Kyle Busch is leaving HMS after this season

NASCAR's most popular drive will replace Kyle Busch, who has been given a release from the final year [2008] of his contract to pursue other opportunities that include replacing Earnhardt at Dale Earnhardt Inc.
ESPN - Dale Earnhardt Jr. will drive for Hendrick in '08 - Nascar

where will he end up and how will he do next season ........ will he make the chase with his new team ?

For entertainment purposes I say he ends up at Penske so we can see him and big brother get into sissy fights and watch them take Newman out in the process realisticly... I don't give 2 sihts! If it makes him a better driver and person... then good luck to him.

Kyle Busch is a whiney baby. I guess he's probably pouting that nobody interviewed him about the matter.

As stated before, I'd like to see him go to RCR. I think between Richard, Burton and Kevin they can get him settled down some. After all Richard has lots of experience handling drivers that are aggressive and have them attitudes. And yes I think he could run good and win there. Look what going there has done for Burton.

That could be a good possibility, but has anyone considered Toyota? They don't have any really good drivers. Not that they will have the best with Mr temper tantrum but he is probably better than what they have.

Hadn't thought of that. He would be better than what they have right now.

except the fact that he brings no provisionals to the table

and both DJ and MW have won the 500 so i dont consider them bad drivers ....... i think about 70% of the problem is inferior equipment and set up

Rumor is that Gibbs is being courted by Toyota since Chevy pulled back on their factory support. Shrub going to Gibbs would make sense if Gibbs wanted a 4th team and wanted to switch to 'yota (where the bucks are.)

I don't see gibbs goin Yota.... but then again.... I have been wrong before. I think there would be a mutiny among the crew.

I don't consider Mikey and DJ bad drivers either. I happen to like both of them. I think Mikey just has to much going on right now to concentrate on the racing. But I do think they'll be alright when Toyota gets it figured out. I mean, after all, they are not the only Toyota drivers that are struggling.

They have also been talking to Penske too.

Busch will have to go to a team with a LARGE surplus of race cars since he tends to wreck them about every other week.

You are right.
