Team owner Rick Hendrick talks about the benefits of extending Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s contract through 2017 before this year's Chase for NASCAR Sprint Cup is underway.
@marksalke yeah... if he only new how to win a race,or even finish in top 25,[how many YEARS has it been since he won a race?] he might just become something. rick... what can you see here with this......ahem.. driver???,besides riding on his dads excellent career!!!
Even without a win, Jr. is a plus for any owner out there. Name recognition goes a long ways is securing sponsorship and fan following. Jr. fans, who would never cheer for Gordon or Johnson will do so now, simply because they are on the same team. Hendrick's revenue from memorailbilia(sp) will show a big net gain. As long a Jr. stays in contention, with or with out a win, it can only benefit the owner.
