I used to love to watch Kevin in the Bucsh races, but I don't no more. Nothing more but a Gibb show. No one has a chance with those cars. They have the biggest advantage I have ever seen. NASCAR could lose this series if not careful.

Anyone hear anything about team morale this week? Harvicks comments were right on, but cant imagine the crew being happy.
Nothing like boosting morale like winning Indianapolis!

I read that, too. Wtf is up with that explanation? It's pretty clear he was pissed about the abomination that was their pit stops last week. |

That excuse reminds me of when I'm mad at my wife. I mumble something under my breath and she says "what did you just say" and I say "nothing, just saying how you were right and I was wrong. Everyone knows that's not what I said but I guess we'll leave it at that. He was throwing f bombs left and right at the pit crew at New Hampshire.

That is some of the weakest spin I've heard since Flint, Michigan. |

While I don't believe the spin about the pit crew, I do believe that it's pretty obvious from that article that the manufacturer change is screwing with them big time.

I guess it is nice to hear that everybody got to get some things off their chest and say what they wanted. I hope some of it had to do with how Rodney can't make the right call of his life depended on it. Don't get me wrong, he's the best crew chief in the garage for setting up and building cars. He needs to take some lessons from Knaus and Wolf on strategies. Like some of us have said, we could have 6 wins easily with a jgr pit crew and or a good race strategist. Maybe a few less debri cautions when harvicks leading would help also.

Thanks for the link and info everyone! Im shocked how they can cough up another excuse, wow, talk about denial issues.
Well hopefully that meeting went as great as they say. I would like to see them put the BS aside and stop wasting talent and do more of this...
" but man, we all walked out of there ready to go kick some ass and win some races.”

Qualified 4th for the race today...which I guess is 2nd for the 2nd heat since this is one of those stupid races.
But it was half a second behind the 18/20
