 BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) - Rick Hendrick has two series champions in his stable, lucrative sponsorship, seemingly endless resources and an unwavering commitment to his organization. It's given him the most dominant team in NASCAR, which enters Sunday's race at Michigan International Speedway seeking its 11th victory of the season.
Now Dale Earnhardt Jr. is to join the team next season, creating a lineup likened to NASCAR's version of the New York Yankees. Just how powerful it makes the team remains to be seen. Right now, however, rival owners aren't too concerned with Hendrick's assembly of a Murderer's Row on wheels.
"We were going to have to race Junior in a Chevrolet somewhere, so for him to be with Hendrick is just fine with me," said Jack Roush, who fields a five-car team that includes 2003 series champion Matt Kenseth.
