i even teared up a little.. I mean this is his DAD's company! I know he needs to leave but why does Teresa have to be so mean? It's not fair to Jr.
grr...
I hope Jr. goes with Stewart's team (the name escapes me)....I will do a flip if he goes to Hendrick. Childris would be cool too...

Hendrick Motorsports General Manager Marshall Carlson told Sirius NASCAR Radio's Sirius Speedway Tuesday that his team is fully stocked with drivers for 2008 and beyond, and that he has not spoken with Dale Earnhardt, Jr., about the possibility of joining the Hendrick stable.(Sirius NASCAR Radio's Sirius Speedway)

I know and that would be the first person's name that would come up. But since he sign with them last year and this is first year with them. I think they would honor his contact.
Here is lastest news about Dale Jr.Budweiser has an agreement in place to ensure Dale Jr. will continue to personally represent Budweiser through 2008.Richard Childress said Friday morning at Darlington Raceway that he has not signed Dale Earnhardt, Jr., to drive for Richard Childress Racing and is giving the driver time and space to weigh his options.Penske said Friday that he has an interest in adding Dale Earnhardt Jr. to his Nextel Cup team, but he realizes it isn't likely to happen. "Certainly we'd like to talk to him," Penske said. "Obviously, he's one of the top drivers in the sport. But from everything I've heard, he wants to stay in a Chevrolet. We have a contract with Dodge and we're loyal to that."

I'm not a big fan of Jr.s (so, I'm probably just biased), but I sometimes these things get blown way out of proportion (especially when the media is involved)...
...But then again, it might not be about Jr.s maturity at all....
....Just a quick thought...
"If my dad was alive, a lot of things would be different, a whole lot," "I don't like to get hypothetical. I think he would be pretty proud of what I've been able to accomplish."

Because Roush Fenway Racing has five cars in NASCAR. I do remember that NASCAR wanted to change that rule and talk about last year and never heard a word if they change the rule or not.
I don't see them firing Casey Mears any time soon and he has a contract with them untill 2009.
This was reported on a NASCAR news web site today.
