Dale Earnhardt Jr. walked briskly through the garage Friday, heading directly toward a throng of fans waiting along the fence outside Michigan International Speedway.

“Welcome to Hendrick Motorsports,” one called out as he handed Earnhardt a picture to sign.

Earnhardt offered a heartfelt smile, then quietly set about signing hundreds of autographs as the crowd surged toward NASCAR’s most popular driver. He was drained, worn out from the frenzied five weeks he spent searching for a new home.

Michael Waltrip lounged on a couch, appearing relaxed and confident despite his nightmare first season as a Toyota owner/driver.

“I guess things couldn’t have gone any worse - so I’ve got that going for me,” he joked Friday.

Waltrip was devastated at Daytona, where his team was fined and docked points after NASCAR found a fuel additive in his engine, and his year has unraveled even more since both on and off the track.
