Well, it’s time to see how the biggest story of 2007 plays out. Put up or shut up. You get the idea.
What can be said, that hasn’t already graced the pages of every publication and blog that even comes close to NASCAR?
While testing can prove little, the numbers thus far are in a positive light as far as the equipment goes. Now it’s time to see if it can be used to its full potential. Some will say “I told you so”, but the question yet to be answered is which side of the fence that will come from.
His teammates are impressed. Impressed with his talent, his knowledge, and his personality as well. Dale Jr. doesn’t have to try to fit in, all he has to do is be himself. It seems like that’s the case thus far, and the rest of the stable seems glad to have him there. As with any work environment, if you can’t have some fun while you’re at it, it isn’t worth doing.

Junior will fit in just fine at the House of Hendrick. Afterall, he only needs to be easier to like that Kyle Busch. Now whether or not he can beat his teammates on the track is up in the air.
