Dudes, Jr can drive a car. You think Rick Hendrick would have signed him if he couldnt drive? Had enough of those with Mears, Vickers, and Craven. He surely didnt need any help with sponsor money being that Jrs sponsors were already there (Hence no budweiser). Give him a few races with McGrew, a pure Hendrick-bred chief, to race well in that organization. And Knaus is the smartest chief in that garage, hands down in my opinion.
