Earnhardt to test for Hendrick this month

Earnhardt with his new Hendrick Team

Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kyle Busch will be allowed to test with their new teams at a Car of Tomorrow test at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Oct. 29-30.

A Hendrick Motorsports spokesman confirmed Saturday that plans have been finalized to allow Earnhardt Jr. to drive one of that team’s Chevrolets in the test following next weekend’s Cup race at the Atlanta track.

After completing 2007 in the No. 8 Chevrolets, Earnhardt Jr. will move from Dale Earnhardt Inc. to Hendrick to drive the No. 88 Chevrolets in 2008.
