 MOORESVILLE, N.C. (AP) - Hendrick Motorsports has been practically unbeatable this season, with its star-studded lineup racking up 10 wins through the first 14 races. Now they've got Dale Earnhardt Jr., and the four-car stable has turned into NASCAR's version of the New York Yankees.
"I guess I should be honored that I would be compared to the Yankees," owner Rick Hendrick said Wednesday after announcing Earnhardt had signed a five-year deal to drive for him beginning in 2008.
With two series champions in Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, and a rising star in Casey Mears, adding NASCAR's most popular driver to the mix has given Hendrick a Murderer's Row on wheels. It's three of the sports biggest stars on the same team, but Hendrick said he's not worried about managing all the egos.
