No its not the GGW Racing team although with the tour drivers added to the reguler gang we could storm NASCAR. I am talking Rick Hendrick and why he wanted to get Dale Jr on his team. A few said DEI would be ok without Dale Jr. I was not one of them and now knowing Mark Martin is coming to Hendricks next year and Martin Truex Jr contract is up and Paul Mannard is not a front man for any team as of yet it got me thinking maybe this was the plan from the start.

Rick - Dale you know what you are getting coming here to this team. But lets think the future togather for a minute. Do you think DEI will keep going without help from another team?

Dale -  Heckno, with the Bud sponsor leaving they got no money.

Rick - Then sooner or later Teresa will have to sale DEI, and You will have my backing to bye it and we run three cars under that team. We sign Martin Truex Jr and bring up Brad Keselowski and heck if sooner we grab Smoke because his contract will be up the following year , if not we got some young guns coming up and we give them seat time in your Nationwide team and we build a super team of 7 cars and give old cat in the hat a run for his money.lol

Dale - Will I get the better cars from you?

Rick -  Now I can't  promise you something like that now can I with Forensic2 around he would state it in his blog and all heck would break out. Lets just say you and Tony will have something you can win races with if you make the right calls and changes.

Dale - Lets do it.

Ok it might not have gone down like this, or maybe not at all? Its not like it can't be happen around the corner with how fast DEI is going down. IMO. It is later and it sounds Like Smoke is doing his own thing. So who knows who can fill that 3rd car for DEI & Jr Motorsports? Maybe Ryan Newman ?  I think Reed Sorenson who Jr has hook up and bump draft well with many times.

Have a safe and happy 4th everyone and God bless you all and America! and lets add across the pond as well. Cheers.
