I thought there is a limit to four cars in a team. So who's leaving to make room for him?

Do think that since Stewart/Haas is an off shoot of the Hendrick Team that maybe he will be driving for Tony. Just an wilda$$ guess don't really know. That would be an awesome team if possible.

Well if it was based on driving talent HMS would dump the driver with the worst on track performance for Kasey.... BUT we all know they won't fire the cash-cow that is Jr. so unless Martin retires early I doubt KK is going there. SHR is a better bet as far as a Chevy team goes but I bet Ford will work harder to keep him this time around than they did last time. If KK goes free-agent then he'll probally be the top driver out there looking.

From ESPN;

#9-Kasey Kahne, the hottest potential free agent in NASCAR entering the season, has signed a multiyear agreement to join Hendrick Motorsports in 2011, multiple sources close to negotiations confirmed to ESPN.com Tuesday. The details of the deal, such as which car Kahne will drive, are still being finalized, sources said. The prevailing thought is Kahne will occupy the #5 car currently driven by Mark Martin, sources said. Martin signed a contract extension last year through the 2011 season. There is room for Martin and Kahne in the Hendrick family. Stewart Haas Racing receives chassis, engines and technical support from HMS. So Kahne could be housed there until Martin's contract was up, if necessary. In 2008 Dale Earnhardt Jr. signed a five-year deal with Hendrick. Jimmie Johnson last year signed an extension through 2015, and Jeff Gordon has a lifetime contract. Kahne is in the final year of his contract with Richard Petty Motorsports, and plans to finish the season in the #9 Ford, sources said. It is unknown whether Kahne's sponsor, Budweiser, will accompany him to HMS [which sponsored Hendrick's #25 Chevy for years]. Hendrick Motorsports officials had no comment. Calls placed to Kahne, who turned 30 last weekend, and to his agent were not returned.(ESPN)(4-13-2010
