Q: Did Kyle tell everyone he was unhappy with Rick and was looking at the possibilities of getting a new team? After that was it when Rick hired Dale Jr?
A: Well the " official" stories that the tv and yahoo.sports guys have related goes like this. There was some tension among the team, with kyle's, and the team's lack of performance. They weren't happy with him leaving Texas so fast. And contract negotiations weren't going well. Along comes Jr., and his decision to leave DEI. But even then Hendrick says he was committed to Kyle. So then the stories start traveling through the garage grapevine that Kyle's agent is talking to other teams, and shopping his driver around. That supposedly didn't sit to well with Hendrick, the idea that he was working to keep Kyle, and Kyle was working to get away. So he pulled the trigger and made the switch while Jr, was still on the market. In Kyle's defense, he says he had no idea that his agent was working behind the scenes with other teams. He even fired the guy,and got a whole new rep. team. But it seems the damage had been done.
