Where will Jr. end up? Make your prediction here!

JR fans and Stewart fans united...not sure about that

The day this happens is the same day Smoke/JR fans embrace Gordon or they all get together and welcome a woman driver.

I voted RCR.

Better driver than Jr.? Maybe more seasoned would be a better word to describe it....

U.M.

well, looking at the standings/stats for this year, Martin is only 18 points behind, has more top 5's and the same amount of top 10's as Jr


and he's run 3 less races

Ginn emerging as a player in Junior sweepstakes

type size: + -CONCORD, N.C. -- If Dale Earnhardt Jr. ends up at Joe Gibbs Racing, team officials are adamant it won't be with sponsor Budweiser.

Bobby Ginn, however, has no problem with a beer sponsorship and is still hotly pursuing NASCAR's most coveted free agent.

And Richard Childress? He had nothing to say on the subject Saturday at Lowe's Motor Speedway.

With Hendrick Motorsports apparently out of the Earnhardt sweepstakes -- Hendrick has four drivers under contract and claims he isn't looking to drop any of them -- three other Chevrolet teams have emerged as the front-runners to sign NASCAR's most popular driver.

JGR could be the leading candidate, but owner Joe Gibbs insisted Saturday night he won't accept a beer sponsorship at his family business. Earnhardt is closely associated with Budweiser, his longtime sponsor, and the company can leave Dale Earnhardt Inc. with him at the end of the season.

Jay Frye, general manager at Ginn, is a St. Louis native who once worked for Anheuser-Busch, the parent company for Budweiser. Ginn believes Frye's past relationship with A-B, and Ginn's entertainment ties to the resorts he owns and golf tournaments he hosts makes it a perfect fit.

of course, the bottom of the article says a little too

Childress, who said Friday he had yet to speak to the Earnhardts, wouldn't give an update Saturday on any discussions. With three cars under the RCR roof, he said he'll be at four in 2008 with or without Earnhardt behind the wheel.

"Our plan was to always be at four next season, that's something we had in the works way before Junior became available," Childress said. "Who knows who will drive it? I might just have to dust off my helmet."
