Plenty of fat on the Hendrick Motorsports land.
When they talk about the "rich getting richer" in NASCAR, this is exactly what they're talking about. From http://www.scenedaily.com/:
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - In recognition of its 25th anniversary season, all four of Hendrick Motorsports' NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers took a lap around Daytona International Speedway Saturday in four specially designed silver race cars.Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and defending NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson joined team owner Rick Hendrick in a special ceremony to celebrate the occasion and kick off the 2009 NASCAR season.
"We started this organization back in 1984 with one team and five full-time employees, and it's amazing to me that we're here celebrating 25 years," Hendrick said. "I'm proud to look back at what our people have accomplished together, but I'm even more excited about what the future holds."
In 25 years, the team has secured eight Cup Series championships, three Truck Series titles and one Nationwide Series crown while recording more than 200 combined victories.

This message is for Jeff Gordon and his Crew Chief.
I am concerned that your air gauge may need calebrated as it seems once your tires are heated up you seem to have less speed than when you started.
It may just be that simple!
