Well a new Era begins for Jr, here we will see if he has a chance to become a Champion again. Hendrick Motorsports will surely give him the best chance in years. Jr did snag a win here in the first year, but something was not quite right yet

Jr's familiar #8 Budweiser Monte Carlo will no longer belong to Jr. Budweiser has gone to Kasey Kahne, and the #8 stays with DEI. He will now drive the #88 National Guard, or Mountain Dew Impala SS.
