Developing a championship team from scratch is a huge undertaking - that's why my $$'s are on him going to an established team. And even more are on RCR.

It has to be a sad day for Jr, it should never come to this! I support Jr, you can't win in NASCAR today with all the multi-car teams without a total monetary commitment. I'd love to see him go to Gibbs (love Joe and what he's done building a racing organization) but I'd agree that RCR seems most likely! I'm a big fan of Jr, and I'm one of few who actually like BOTH him and Gordon, whoever he signs with will be rewarded with the cup.
