I wonder what would happen if he dumped his cousin? There may be a lot of history there, but I think he needs a crew chief that can give him shit & understand what he wants at the same time. Maybe Hendrick should of done that with his move.

I'm not totally sure. His Chief has plenty of experience and wins under his belt. Jr. has unlimited resources and just really isn't performing. I think the problem is with him. It's obvious he's highly overrated anyway.

I think you're making a good choice in not picking him.

I think they have good chemistry, which is VERY important, but I dont think Eury always makes the right decisions. Jr COULD do better with someone else, but he is just as likely to do worse...

Tough Call.

I agree with Jeff totally. It's hard call there, but to me the biggest question is how Stewert can do without Zippie...

I am really impressed with how Stewart has done right from the start with a completely new team. Granted, he is basically driving a Hendrick car, but to be competitive right out of the box like this is not easy. Just ask Michael Waltrip and even Ryan Newman.

I agree he is doing much better than I thought so hopefully that keeps up.
