There have been so many great partnerships involving people of great character and ability. We?re proud of what they have brought to our sport.

Tony Ponturo, the Vice President of Global Media and Sports Marketing Anheuser-Busch, Inc.

Even the American cable television network ESPN is backing the professional American driver?s decision. ?I can?t think of anything at all that?s bigger. He hit a home run and hit it out of the ballpark. His father always loved Rick Hendrick and had a great admiration for him. With Junior finding that he can be in a car with points, he?s assured that he?s in all the races next year. You?ll never risk any problems whether it rains or you have a blown engine that can keep you out of a race. I think he could have done well at Richard Childress next season, but there was one problem - he wouldn?t have had points headed into the 2008 season Robinson Zapata Colombia Jersey ,? said Rusty Wallace, an ESPN analyst.

Wallace?s workmate, Tim Brewer, added: ?I think it?s a great decision because he wants to go and win races and win championships. He?s going to make the change for himself, get in a good race car and he?ll get the job done. They are proven winners and proven champions at Hendrick. The combination he?s had hasn?t been working, and that?s no disrespect to anyone. If I were him I would show up Radamel Falcao Colombia Jersey , not even take my helmet, and just ask ?which car do you want me to get in?? If I?d implemented a change and gone this far, I believe I?d make a big change.?
