During the Dale Jr press conference that confirmed that Dale Jr will be driving for Hendrick it was mentioned that Budweiser may be interested in going with someone new and Kasey Kahne was mentioned. that sounds like a win win for Evernham making it so the Dodge sponsorship would be for 1 car instead of 2 leaving Budweiser for Kasey and Dodge for Elliot Sadler.
He would still be driving a Dodge for Ray Evenrham. And the way sponsorship goes Dodge would still be a minority sponsor on the 9 if Budweiser did go to Evernham.
It was already rumored that Kyle Busch will end up at DEI replacing Dale Jr. The number 8 may be swapped for the number 5 but I doubt that will happen since the 8 was h original number at DEI and he 5 was Hendricks first number when he got started.
