“I got phone calls from so many companies, some of them in the sport that I never talked to and some of them I had no idea even had any interest in the sport,” Hendrick said Wednesday. “It was just phenomenal the amount of interest that was there.”
The new sponsors feel they are a good fit for Earnhardt, who was casually drinking a 16-ounce Mountain Dew Amp Energy drink during Wednesday’s unveiling.
