Yeah but the crew chief always gets dumped before the driver does, old hippie. I like Dale Jr but something is definitely amiss. He's better than this and statistics back that up. His last name wasn't holding the steering wheel through two Busch championships and the 22 wins in that series plus 18 Cup wins including thae Daytona 500. I just don't know how long HMS will be able to avoid making changes.

RCR had to bite the bullet with the #07 and #29 teams. It's too soon to tell how that will pan out but at least Casey had a good finish. Harvick found himself some bad luck but he seemed to be running well.
