The rumor that this scribe is hearing this morning is this....And
Joonyer Nation you might want to sit down.

Hendrick Motorsports is on the verge of announcing that they have
reached a deal to sign Joonyer to a multi-year deal.Now this is only
part of the deal.Joonyer will actually become a teamate of Jimmie
Johnson who actually drives a car co-owned by Rick Hendrick and Jeff
Gordon.HMS had petitioned NASCAR concerning a possible "loop hole" in
the 4 car limit per team.The irony of the entire episode is the fact
that Joonyer will be "owned" by Jeff Gordon.I am sure we have not
heard the last of this messs.....

And everytime JG wins they're gonna make DEJ go out there with a garbage bag
and pick up the beer cans, LOL!

it doesn't matter if jr went there...as long as he can go to a winning
organization...if DEI is not going to put the money back into the
company i would say it is time for him to move on...he can always come
back and buy DEI from the wicked stepmom alot cheaper after she has
run it into the ground...face it, Jr is DEI...as for gordon owning Jrs
car, how many people really like their boss anyway...

HMS isn't going to sign Junior. They sign drivers who are good, not just
popular.

Yes, I saw this earlier. And now I see a denial at Jasykis by HMS over
the whole deal. Personally, when I see Mulhern post something, I wait
for comfirmation since he's usually wrong about 80% of the time on
these SWAGs* he puts out.

Junior has stated, live and in person on several occasions throughout
the years, that YES, he and Tony Jr talk to other teams like this,
usually at least once a year. He says, and I believe him (why would he
lie?) that it's to find his value in the "sport itself, outside the
walls of DEI" so he always has a current idea of what he is worth when
it comes to negotiating or renegotiating his contracts with DEI and
Bud, etc. I can't blame him since the board room at DEI appears to be
such an airtight, powerful, and secretive black whole, that even light
can't escape from it...Junebug was lucky just to get to BUY the rights
to his own name back afterall. Just like Dean Smith was the only
person to ever keep Michael Jordan under 30pts, Teresa is
single-handedly preventing her premier team from having any legitimate
chances at winning a Cup, IMHO of course.

**IF** Joonyer leaves DEI at the end of '07, it will be to team up
with RCR. Mark my words. I don't know that a #3 car is in the cards,
dunno if I'd even want him to get into that much of an emotional
situation, but RC has his back (JR Motorsports runs RC Racing Engines
exclusively) and DEJ knows he could count on RC to give him absolutely
everything that money could buy in an effort to win him a title,
something that Teresa doesn't appear to be doing or even willing to do
at this point. I guess no one has dared to show her the marketing
upside of winning a Cup lately...

*SWAG = Stupid Wild Ass Guess

And now a kinda-sorta denial from Hendrick Motorsports General Manager Marshall
Carlson who goes on about how they already have 4 drivers. Oh. I only see ink
about 3 of 'em.

Yes, I know the most hoped-for outcome by many of the red nation is to become a
black nation with an 8 or a 3. Yer right that it would be a huge emotional load.

We *know* that Junior wants a title...DEI's, JRM's, RCR's or HMS's...machs nix to
him, I'd bet.
