As far as I know, he will be driving the no. 5 car next year. This is because Kyle Busch may be going to Gibbs next year.

Everybody thought his step mother would allow him to bring the #8 with him when he moved to Hendrick motor sports, but that won't happen.
Deal Can't Be Reached to Bring No. 8 to Junior's New Team
I think it's a shame what his step mother is doing. I can remember when Dale Sr. passed away, and the next year she was talking about the negotiations that were going on between her and Dale Jr., and she said that the only reason Dale Sr. started DEI was for his son Dale Jr.
Now, not only is he having to move from the race team his father started for him, but she won't even let him keep the car number (one that Dale Sr. used [the #8] at the beginning of his career) that his father gave him to drive in DEI.
