I really like Andy, but his initial answers to her questions were just talk. She kept challenging Andy to be specific and he couldn't do it. Andy fell into the trap you often see on TV where there's always a ten second solution to any major problem. So,Junior needs a new top-notch crew chief mid-season?? OK, who's available? The way the other HMS Teams are running,there's no way Rick is going to raid car chiefs and crew chiefs from his other teams even though it sounded like he was sniffing around the #5 team a while back before they caught fire. Who's available now that has Cot experience?Eury Jr and the car chief need to be replaced. DJ reported that Earnhart is running setups significantly different from those of his team mates. The car chief is central to that situation. Eury Jr did well with the Nationwide series, but has only two Cup wins (Richmond and the gas mileage fiasco at Michegan).The Cot has been a challenge to many Crew Chiefs with far better records in Cup. As long as the other Hendrick cars are running well, Rick is limited to the changes he can make mid-season. Almost all of Junior's Cup wins were with Eury Sr. Unfortunately,he has no Cot experience. Eury Jr didn't routinely drive by his pits or wreck the field at Daytona. There's plenty of blame to go around on the #88 team, but its silly to just give an interview stating that it's time for a crew chief change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-36183844171454501812009-05-28T00:27:07.953-04:002009-05-28T00:27:07.953-04:00Ironic that Tony G is also 3rd generation.

Therefore, when major non-NASCAR news breaks, it's the only place on TV for fans to get info/analysis. I see nothing wrong with it at all, but it does show the stupidity of SPEED to not have some sort of live, daily motorsports show, even if it's at 4 or 5 and not in primetime.Mattnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-29432932751676995382009-05-27T23:32:20.466-04:002009-05-27T23:32:20.466-04:00Very good show.

One question I would like to have seen the host put to Riggs: "If you aren't willing to be a team player and make the move (start-and-park) that the team decides it needs - how do you think you are going to find a job with another team looking for a team player?"<br /><br />Everyone treats start-and-park as evil, and while we would all like it out of the sport - you have to understand why it happens and why it is sadly necessary for some teams (teams that can't even afford the tires for a full season's worth of racing, but who deserve to be on the track). I don't think the show put start-and-park into any kind of unbiased context. I wish that they had.<br /><br />Also, I am really sick of seeing Indy news stories on NASCAR Now. You can argue that there is a NASCAR angle because of the Brickyard race, but I think that is honestly stretching it a bit. I would rather see an interview with just about anyone in NASCAR on the air instead of see coverage of this story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
