Dale Jr. turns to old friend for new home

Will he win now?

Earnhardt Jr. agrees to 5-year deal, says he and Hendrick share bond beyond racing
Dale Earnhardt Jr. has never second-guessed his decision to leave Dale Earnhardt Inc. at the end of the 2007 season, but that doesn't mean he hasn't had some anxiety since announcing it.

"The hard part for me was being in limbo, not having a home, not knowing what my future was," he said. "It was really uncharted territory for me."

That ended Wednesday when Earnhardt Jr. announced a five-year agreement to drive for Hendrick Motorsports beginning in 2008.
