Would he be with Hendrick if he wasn't the BIG E's son???

Probably not IMO. He'll win races this year,but make no mistake it's always been a popularity contest first and foremost. For Hendrick to release shrub in favor of Jr. confirms that. He's a top five driver,but Sr never would have blown two stops in row. That being said I would hate to have a racing career where your DNA is constantly measured against arguably the greatest of all time. He's a pretty genuine guy, that's why he's so popular compared to corporate sugar water sipping automaton's like his teammates.
