all it is, a Hendrick motorsports car, Jr doesn't build anything, unlike KHI, where they actually build the cars and Chassis' for 2 trucks and 2 cars.
guess Jooyner doesn't want to build up from scratch, he just wants the cars handed to himBrian France is a violation of Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing)

I think it was a smart move to combine forces rather than compete with each other.

The object is to have a winning organization. Jr will have one.

JR Motorsports already builds cars in their own shop with the Gee boys (his uncles) doing the work. Hendrick's Nationwide Series cars and staff are going to Dale Jr's shop. This is a reunification of sorts, since the 1983 Budweiser Late Model Sportsman Series had a Hendrick and Gee-owned car power Dale Snr to a victory at LMS.

Dale Jr's Chance2 Busch team, (now JR MotorSports) "built" Busch cars ...
Dale Jr bought some prefab rolling Busch Series chassis with ...
his staff hanging the sheet-metal & installing DEI engines ...
at least now the engine supplier has changed to Hendrick MotorSports.
(Most likely Hendrick will also now supply the chassis for JRMS.)2008 ESPN Stockcar Challenge MSF Champion :D

Why you guys act like this was so unexpected? Only two cars running and Hyundai would be toast if Ott crashes
