russellb: How many think a BIG shakeup is coming during the off week?

Yeah...lets hope they fix the problem with the pit crews! And get a new Pit Crew Coach! I know that its a high pressure job but it just seems like throwing crew members at different teams is a band-aid fix. Only seems to work for a short time. As for Rodney's head... I still believe that Rodney has been Kevin's best Crew Chief. How many times have we all screamed for a 2 tire stop only to have Kevin demand 4. Not saying Rodney hasn't lost his share of races for the 4 team. I now fear that the 4 team is trying to gimmick a win and is operating outside the normal decisions made by a championship team. They may luck into one... At this point... after watching the MIS. I am now more than ever convinced that teams that are racing well are the teams that also draft well... Just watching Kevin race Joey... Kevin spent several laps trying to pass but just couldn't get it done... Joey passed Kevin like he was standing still! Penske cars have ALWAYS drafted well.

At this rate... We'll see Kevin in the booth next year!

I was thinking about where we really stack up to JGR, Penske and Hendrick. SHR is even with Hendrick. But the booth guys have been talking a lot about speed versus handling. We all now that a good plate track car is fast but can also draft well... pull up on lead cars. That is where I think the 4 team is off and I don't think its off by much. I think the speed is there... I think they just need to figure out how to get the car to pull up better.

And is it really fair to call Daytona and Dega plate tracks? Isn't it a "tapered spacer" now? Which they run on all track right? Someone earlier stated that this package would be better if they gave them their motor back...totally agree!
