Junior to test Hendrick car early?

Dale Earnhardt, Jr. know to be with new team next year, and he know where Jr. headed, but he can't escape his contract until season's end. There's a possibility Jr. could get a chance to at least test with their future team in a few weeks, when there's an open trial at Atlanta, though a series of dominos would have to fall if that's to happen. But in order for that to take place Earnhardt would have to be allowed to take Busch's seat in a Hendrick Motorsports machine. Whether that'll happen, however, remains in question. Dale Earnhardt, Inc. president Teresa Earnhardt has already said Regan Smith will test with Junior's current team at Atlanta, but hasn't yet released her stepson to test with Hendrick, so the whole equation may break down and leave the lame ducks with their soon-to-be defunct teams.
