Jr is a loyal person. To his fans, team, car manufacturer, and sponsors. When he learned keeping Budweiser as a sponsor was out of the question he still made the statement that Bud would still be his number one choice of beer.
With that being said, if he was forced into a Toyota (like Stewart was) then his fans would know where his loyalty is,,, with Chevrolet.
See Jr tried to be loyal to DEI. He could have drove for another team a long time ago but said that he wanted to stay with DEI and help get DEI a championship. He stayed until it hurt his career. Just another example of his loyalty.
Jr fans knows where his loyalty lies. Rick Hendrick is also known to let people out of their contracts early. I think that would be an option if Jr didn't care to drive a Toyota. That may be a difficult choice because he has worshiped Rick since he was a kid and has always wanted to drive for Rick.
Then again hypothetically speaking Rick would never go to Toyota....RIGHT...???
