Talk About Fickle Fans

So - Dale Earnhart Jr announced today that next year he'll be racing for the Rick Hendricks team - the same team that has Jimmy Johnson - and Jeff Gordon.

Many of Jr's so-call "fans" have already deserted him because of this. What they never knew - or didn't care about - is that since the death of Dale Sr., Gordon and Jr have been friends off the track, taking trips together and being involved in some business ventures together. It's only been on the track that they were rivals.

Even then, according to Jr, he really only viewed the Fords and Dodges as serious rivals, not fellow Chevy drivers.

I wonder who the dickheads will be throwing beer cans at now?
