NASCAR In 2011

Rick Hendricks changed pit crews for the Championship which I agreed with, he put all his marbles’ in one basket and I am sure the professionals his employees are they agreed with him maybe not happily however.Now he is switching crew chiefs. Mark Martin and Lance McGrew will team up he who was with Earnhardt, and Jeff Gordon’s crew chief Steve Latarte will go to Jr and Gordon will get Alan Gustafson who was Martin. I believe this is a last ditch effort to get some wins for Jr. He is also switching garages, 48 and 88 will share a shop and the 24 and 5 out of the other shop. Seems like a little overkill, but Rick is a very successful owner, 5 Championships in a row. He did leave the 48 crew the same, don’t mess with success. In 2012 Kasey Kahne takes over the 5 car I am sure he will be a winner for Rick.I think this is a last ditch effort trying to make Dale Earnhardt a winner. I donr think it will happen Jr is a decent driver but he can’t communicate with his crew chief what the car needs during a race. No matter how will the car performs at the beginning it seems to fall off during the race maybe Steve Latarte is the answer but I doubt it. What is going to Happen to Danica Patrick? She never really had that much success in open wheel. Her only win was in Japan and that was a fuel mileage win. She has been in the top ten in several races but a real win has escaped her. I know Jr has a lot of cash but with the money in Nationwide how long can he continue fixing her car? Go Daddy must have really stepped up to the plate with some cash if they could both start winning it would be a sponsor pot of gold but the key word is if.Next year could be interesting there are a number of drivers out looking for rides. RPM has finally emerged from his money problems, or so he says, and will go with 2 cars. The difference between winning and losing is so close luck still pays a big part.
