HOMESTEAD, Fla. -- No surprise, if it's up to Rick Hendrick, Jimmie Johnson will drive a Hendrick Motorsports racecar for the remainder of his career.
Hendrick said he is fully prepared to do whatever it takes to retain Johnson's services for as long as he drives professionally in the Nextel Cup Series. Money. Assets. Car dealerships. And most importantly, championship-caliber racecars.
"My goal with him is real simple -- to keep him with me for as long as he races," Hendrick said.
"It's a flattering comment, and I think I kind of knew that," Johnson said. "But it's something we've never talked about or put on the table."
