I followed a jayski.com link to an article on anotherleftturn.hubpages.com about where Napa could go after MWR. The five possibilities were Trevor Bayne in the 6, Austin Dillon in the 3, David Ragan in the 34, Jr. in the 88 or Sam Hornish, Jr. in the 12. Which one would guys think most worthy?

Short term they'd get their best bang for the buck with Jr. due to his popularity. With that said I don't think that would happen. I'd be willing to bet that Jr's deals are all signed up so it would be a huge effort to go with him and Hendrick.
Trevor Bayne would be a good investment for the long run. The payoff right now though won't be as big as going with an established driver like Jr.
Austin Dillion would be the best of those listed IMHO. He has enough name recognition, he's young, and he's with a great organization. Plus having your name on the 3 car next year will be HUGE. Lots and lots of coverage.
Hornish would be ok but he's not a top tier driver. Ragan is also a good driver but not in the top tier.

I would like to see them go to Jr. but I read on the 2014 team page at Jayski's that NAPA might be going to Stewart-Haas.
To answer your question what would be the best choice, I think that would be Austin Dillon. He has a bright future in Cup. He will be driving the 3 car and that would look real good in that NAPA blue.
DEAL WITH IT
None of the above. NAPA will use this to bail out and if they do stay in NASCAR it will be at half of their current investment. I see them as a co-sponsor of a team like Stewart-Haus with Kurt Busch

In the long run its Austin Dillon
In short term Jr.

Dale Jr. More bang for the buck!
