Rick Hendrick open to more Cup affiliations, including potential alignment with JR Motorsports
By Bob Pockrass - Associate Editor
Sunday, June 21, 2009
Team owner Rick Hendrick (right), seen here talking with driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., is considering more NASCAR Sprint Cup affiliations for 2010.

SONOMA, Calif. – To compensate for cuts from General Motors, Rick Hendrick is thinking about expanding his affiliate programs.
Hendrick already had cut some spending thinking that GM would end up filing for bankruptcy, nullifying some of its commitments. And now he is thinking about how to expand his business with affiliate programs, including the possibility of aligning with JR Motorsports in the Sprint Cup Series.
Hendrick would have to sell off his half of JR Motorsports if Dale Earnhardt Jr. and sister Kelley Earnhardt wanted to move JR Motorsports from being a Nationwide Series team to a Sprint Cup team because of the four-team owners cap.
“That’s something that Dale and Kelley are looking at,” Hendrick said Sunday at Infineon Raceway. “That’s a possibility.”
Hendrick has had a successful operation this year with Stewart-Haas Racing being an affiliate program. SHR purchases cars and leases engines from Hendrick. That affiliate program, which has included Ginn Racing in the past, could expand next year to include Phoenix Racing or even Red Bull Racing, if that organization moves to Chevrolet.
“I’m going to stop racing and [just] build cars and sell motors,” said Hendrick, whose 2007 engine program with Ginn that included one Nationwide and three Cup programs was worth about $13 million annually. “[Seriously], you don’t turn down any business these days. Probably what I’ll see, we’ll convert some of the other programs if it comes to pass.
“We’ve worked with [Red Bull’s general manager] Jay Frye [at Ginn] for so many years, and Tony [Stewart at SHR] and them, that’s a seamless deal for us. … That’s another avenue. If we cut back our Nationwide effort, we’ve got the [personnel] we can turn them into a Cup deal.”
One of those organizations could become a Cup home for JR Motorsports driver Brad Keselowski, who won the Cup race at Talladega earlier this year in a Phoenix Racing car and also has seven Cup races on his schedule with Hendrick Motorsports.
“We’re looking at different options with some of our external situations with other teams and I told Brad that I want him to have the best opportunity,” Hendrick said. “If we can’t give it to him, then I want him to have the best.
“He wants to do something that is somehow associated with our company and we’re working on it and hopefully in the next few weeks we’ll have something sorted out. … He’ll be running Cup [next year]. Whether he’ll be running them all or whether he’ll be running 75 percent of them or what, I don’t know.”
Like all owners who have had their support cut by GM as it goes through a transition into a new company as part of Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, Hendrick has to look at ways to make up that difference.
The cuts made as part of renegotiated contracts with teams were done this week. Hendrick quipped that his support was cut “somewhere between zero and 100 [percent].”
“It’s a big impact any time you lose support from your sponsor,” he said. “I’ve been kind of, for a year or better, thinking that this could happen, so we’ve been trying to address things and do things a little bit differently. … We’ve been trying to cover our bases for about a year.
“Everybody is having to make adjustments, but it’s not going to change the way we race or how we show up on the race track. I’ve been telling our guys the only way I could see GM surviving long-term was to go into bankruptcy. I’ve been saying that for over a year, so we’ve been kind of expecting it.”
Hendrick also said he didn’t believe the testing moratorium wouldn’t be lifted.

Jr. drove a good clean race today, unlike a lot of others. Some deserved what they got. I guess Tony Stewart should have knocked Khane out of his way because tonight it was anything goes! There will be more races! GO JR GO!!!!!!

Jun 22, 2009 at 3:05 PMTony Jr would be the possible choice when Brad comes to Cup full time. Pops will never come to the Cup level due to he has never worked with the COT and doesn't want too. If Brad come to Cup he could land at JRM, SHR, or at Phoenix. Dale has no say in the future of Brads Cup career. Brad is under contract with JRM/HMS in the NW series and is a free agent in the Cup Series and that is why Rick told him to seek out what ever will be good for Brad and if he decides to stay with HMS fine. As far as the #8. It belongs to EGR as long as they want it and then reverts back to NASCAR for reassignment. But knowing Teresa, that # will stay until they decide what Kerry decides to do with Jeffrey. I doubt that # is on Dales priority list with the fiasco the first time around. And Jeffrey would be the next Earnhardt to use his Great Grandfathers #.

Jun 22, 2009 at 4:30 PMThat's right MSP, one of the choices are Brad's coming to cup with JRM which could be affiliated with HMS just like SHR is. That is one of the choices so how can you say Dale has no say in what Brad does. I think he would have just as much say as Hendrick does. Of course there are other options and in the end it will be all Brad's decision which way to go and his only! But you can bet he is talking to Dale, Jr. also and not just to Hendrick. Lots of options... I guess as usual we will all have to wait and see what happens!

Jun 22, 2009 at 5:38 PMDale or Rick have no say over his Cup career. He is a free agent. He can go wherever he wants. He is only signed under a NW contract with HMS/JRM. Granted, The chances of him departing for another team are slim. he is devoted to Rick and Dale. Plus, even if someone else wanted him, it would be tough getting sponsorship for him right now. That is another problem they are facing with him. he is a good driver but doest have that look for commercials and advertising that sponsors look for in a driver.

How I disagree in part with MSP is that Hendrick doesn't want to lose Brad to another team. Brad is a free agent but who can offer him a ride as good as Hendrick? With Hendrick or SHR or JMS a sponsor should not be too hard to find. I look for Brad to be apart of the now Hendrick umbrella.

The bottom line is they didn't. You cant look back and think that. And #24 Dale has nothing to do with any of Jeffreys affairs.

Jun 23, 2009 at 6:55 PM#30 and #31 Dale,JristheGDA,in my #28 post, I wasn't talking about bad strategy calls or flat tires. I feel the same way about Jr. as I do all other drivers when it comes to that! Those things just happen. I was referring to the wrecks that have been done on purpose, from year to year and if it would be the other way around NASCAR wouldn't have it! That is what get's me!

Jun 23, 2009 at 9:29 PMGwen I think your post 3 was good and I agree. It is racing but Dale had a great race until 19 laps to go I'm proud of him. On his website their post race report says about the same thing.
