Gone, Gone, Gone!
Welcome to another issue of Nascar Wrecks...
This week, boys and girls, we tell the tale of what happens when your Nextel Cup driver misses "The Chase"
Loomis leaves...Kyle Petty, CEO of Petty Enterprises, today announced that crew chief Robbie Loomis will be the executive vice president of race operations. In his new role, Loomis will head the day-to-day operations of Petty Enterprises and its two full-time NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series teams -- the #43 Dodges driven by Jeff Green and the #45 Dodges piloted by Petty.
"We are excited that Robbie will be rejoining Petty Enterprises," Petty said. "Robbie won races as a crew chief here, and then won a lot of races and a championship with Jeff Gordon and Hendrick Motorsports. We have great respect for the entire Hendrick organization, and know that Robbie's experience with the Hendrick team has prepared him well for the role he will take on at Petty Enterprises.
( uh.. would that be...oh, I don't know...finishing in the back?)
Robbie Loomis will direct our entire race operation, and we expect his experience and his ability to mold a team to help us get to the next level. Robbie has been a part of our family for a long time, and we'rehappy to have him come home."
(OMG, who wants a hug!)
Our next story is about a man that isn't exactly gone per-say...let'sjust say...he's back where he belongs with family...
(I'm gonna puke)
Dale Earnhardt Incorporated announced Wednesday that, starting this weekend at New Hampshire International Speedway, Tony Eury Jr., will take over as crew chief for the #8 Budweiser Chevy. Eury Jr., who has been crew chief for DEI’s #15 Chevy this season, will be reunited with Dale Earnhardt, Jr. who Eury Jr. worked with for eight seasons prior. The two will be paired for the remaining races of the 2005 NASCAR Nextel Cup season in preparation for 2006 where they will compete together for the NASCAR championship. “This is the best plan for us as a company,” Eury Jr. said. “We haven’t been in the same pit box this year, but we’ve been working closely as a team. Looking at where we want to be for 2006, it made sense to switch now and get that much further ahead.”
Now, if only NBC could get Alan Bestwick 'back home' in the booth with Wally and Benny....and send Bill Weber to a local dirt track for the rest of the year...
