Testing at Atlanta Motor Speedway is giving Earnhardt and his crew chief Tony Eury Jr. a chance to get their hands on Hendrick equipment. "I'm excited to watch Tony Jr. work with the new guys. I'm excited to see the impressions on their face and their attitude about the whole thing," said Earnhardt.Junior is excited about starting a new chapter in his career with HMS. "Everybody's got great attitudes, everybody's got winning attitudes and winning on their mind and it's contagious." The biggest challenge in making the transition to HMS has nothing to do with racing. "The hard part for me is just like going to a new school, making new friends. It's hard to make friends. It's hard to build relationships." Atlanta testing concludes on Tuesday.
