We should know tomorrow and judging by the HUGE number of responses to this thread, I know you all are interested.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. will announce which Nextel Cup team he'll drive for next season at a news conference Wednesday, a spokesman confirmed, refusing to identify the team.
"Dale Jr. plans to announce his plans for 2008," said Mike Davis, communications director for JR Motorsports, the Busch series team Earnhardt owns.
But Davis said Earnhardt's inner circle had gone into a strict no-leak mode before the announcement and that Kelley Earnhardt Elledge, Earnhardt's sister and business manager, was not answering phone calls or e-mails from the media.

It continues and states RCR is probably the leading candidate because:
Hendrick would have to move Busch or Mears to form the Super Team.
Gibbs, a devout Christian, has expressed concern about having Bud as his sponsor.
Ginn could do it because they can afford Jr, then they would use HMS engines, chassis, and support. Basically becoming an HMS team, but Ginn hasn't won a championship.

Childress is in the best position not only because of strong family ties with the Earnhardts, but because his current three-driver team has room for Earnhardt, and because Childress has no objection to beer sponsorship.
