Wonder how much the ANG paid to go on his hood for that race? Taxpayer money is that?

Why did Junior and Bud part ways? A contract restriction with DEI? Hendrick's sponsors balk at it?
I think Junior wanted to be able to identify with the younger crowd, and the tie with Bud just did not allow that. I think it was a mutual parting of the ways, with no bad feelings on either side.
