Bires out at JR Motorsports; McMurray driving 9 races
Boy, that didn't last long, now did it? I wonder how long they are going to put up with Danica's poor finishes??????

Yeah, if Bires results and "chemistry" issues are reason enough to fire one of the up and coming talents in the series, then I'd say the Danica's time at JR is going to be a 1 year experiment. If spades are spades.....you do the math. GoDaddy dollars or not.
It isn't the car Danica...it is the space between the steering wheel and the seat.

That said, why are we letting the princess divert our attention???? I just looked up at the thread title, and really this is about McMurray.
McMurray will put this car at the front of the field and maybe win a race or two. In the end, They need that because they wont see that later....."Water for my horses, beer for my men and mud for my turtle".

I think McMurry will do fine just as Wimmer did in the 7 as both have the experience to get more out of the car that it should give. But Jr Motorsports doesn't seem to be what it once was, and this seems to a desperation effort to keep a sponsor.
It seems that wherever a certain driver goes, they are like gasoline on a fire. They get all of the attention and effort, and others suffer. But Hendrick may have just put a firm roadblock in the Danica experiment. PimpDaddy claimed he wanted her in the 5 car in Sprint cup in 2012, but with the signing of Kayne and the apparent announcement he will probably be in the 5, there may be no room at the Hendrick Inn for the "experiment".I read it on the internet, so it must be true
jezz, cyril has gone full f1 mode with all that crying. hes worst than us here, honestly lol. f* hyundai, i cant even cheer for tierry to lose that virginity (title) anymore because of this guy.
