My wife will drop another couple bills buying t-shirts, sweatshirts and hats.

I can't see Keselowski going to Hendrick. Penske is getting better - didn't say Keselowski was, just Penske. Kurt's winning, Allgaier is doing better, heck Hornish almost won!
Brad has been doing great in Nationwide, I consider Richmond his only real win - Talladega is a crapshoot, and Nashville.....well nobody else was there!

Yet no matter how good Penske gets, they'll never be on the same level as Hendrick.

If I had to pick between driving a Penske car vs. driving a Hendrick car, it'd be a no brainer.

Look at Penske last year, and then this year. You cannot disagree, they are doing better.
A few years ago, was'nt it the Yates engines smokin' the field? And now they are near out of business. Engine power comes and goes, and Hendrick's time is up, RCR looked like the best team at Pocono.........

Whether or not Penske can ever get to Hendrick's level is undetermined but in the past Penske has had up and down years... even within years they are up and down and sporadic in their speed. But I think driving the 2 Keso is there to stay for the near future... Jr? Who knows... he'll drive for as long as he wants no matter his performance... so... he could ask to drive for Front Row Motorsports if he wanted to... haha

Although I have to admit, Penske is having one of their best years in recent memory across all series and drivers.. although Hornish was stronger early last year.

Hendrick's time is up? Really? They're still the back-to-back-to-back-to-back Cup champions with all three of their talented drivers in the Chase right now.

Not to mention the only tracks Rick Hendrick show up to are ones that involve Cup races. There's a reason his teams are always so successful...he focuses on one part of racing, and one part only. He doesn't deal with N'wide or IRL stuff.

Well.....yeah, on a usual weekend, the three big HMS drivers (Gordon, Johnson & Martin) are in the top 5. Jimmie was top 5 once he got through traffic. Gordon was like 5-15th the entire race, and Martin was up and down.
Don't get me wrong, Hendrick owned the wing era, but not so much the spoiler era. And I know Johnson has been running great, just does not have the finishes to show, Gordon was great the first few races but has'nt impressed me after much, and Martin has fallen off a lot.

Did'nt have have part ownership in JR Motorsports last year?
He fielded Stewart's 2009 NNS @ Daytona car.
