Evernham might return to Hendrick team

Ray Evernham is looking for a job, and he just might reunite with Rick Hendrick. is talking to ESPN about continuing his career as a television analyst, but he's also exploring other options in NASCAR. And he plans to meet with Hendrick about a potential return to the organization where he won three championships as Jeff Gordon's crew chief in the 1990s.

"Rick and I just have to meet and discuss things," Evernham said. "I'm interested in a lot of things Rick is doing, on a global basis."

Evernham isn't interested in being a crew chief again, and he doesn't sound particularly enthusiastic about the idea of trying to straighten out Dale Earnhardt Jr. and the struggling No. 88 team.

Instead, Evernham hopes to talk to Hendrick about working on big-picture projects related to Hendrick's worldwide business interests.

"I want to be a project guy — on a project, see results, move on," Evernham said.
