Dale Earnhardt Jr NASCAR Rumor: Junior Moving To Gibbs, Visa Sponsor
By Mike Baron June 3, 2007

Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be driving for Joe Gibbs Racing in 2008. This is the latest rumor and we have had several people we trust tell us it has legs. Look for an announcement very soon.

This powerhouse three-car Chevy team will now become four. It pairs Junior with pals Tony Stewart and Denny Hamlin. J.J. Yeeley also drives the Interstate Batteries No. 18.

Junior and 'Smoke' are close friends and work particularly well together on restrictor plate tracks. Earnhardt was one of the ones who convinced Hamlin to be a pro racer early in his career.

The rumors continue to swirl regarding the future of Dale Earnhardt Jr. who revealed Friday that he has trimmed his list of potential teams down to three or four.

The most interesting possibility right now has been published in the Winston Salem-Journal stating that Mark Martin may return to a full NASCAR Nextel Cup schedule in 2008, and that "many drivers seem convinced that Earnhardt will accept an offer to drive for Bobby Ginn."

Though Mark Martin has been vocal about his happiness in running a partial schedule this season, winning does have a way of pulling at the heart of a driver.

Is it possible that Martin's full-time NASCAR Nextel Cup return is tied to Ginn landing Earnhardt Jr. ?

We shall see.
