First, let me say this, I think Dale Earnhardt Jr. officially announcing that he has "found room at the (Hendrick Motorsports) Inn" is an ideal situation.  He announced he was leaving Dale Earnhardt Inc. so that he could fight for a championship - and there is no team that is stronger than Hendrick, both in the engine department and also in the chassis side of things (c'mon, can anybody deny the fact that they have the best Car of Tomorrow in NASCAR?)

That said, a fair warning to Hendrick Motorsports:  You are now the New York Yankees of NASCAR.

Despite being a championship caliber team in the 90’s, the Yankees wanted more - and they went out and stockpiled some of the best talent in baseball (Alex Rodriguez, Bobby Abreu, etc.) in order to become the only dominant team in baseball.  Unfortunately, at the moment the "evil empire" went out and spent money as if it were going out of style (2000), they started falling out of the championship picture.

There are many other examples in all other forms of sports - Real Madrid (Soccer), New York Rangers (Hockey), etc.

The point being that it takes more than talented athletes to claim championships....you have to develop a sense of team and all work together for the organization to continue their championship winning tradition.

Hendrick Motorsports has long been known for being one of the strongest "Teams" in NASCAR, I hope that with their latest acquisition, they remember what got them to where they are today and don't change their winning philosophy.

That's the only way Dale Earnhardt Jr. will achieve his championship goal.
