I can understand the reasoning behind the pit crew switches but there's no excuse for giving him the C squad. Great article and I'm glad I found your site again! Let's Go Racin!

If they can't get enough good people to man all the teams, they probably have too many teams or are'nt paying enough. Also, why can't an organization like Roush get the engines all good for all the drivers? Jamie is getting screwed big time, and he knows it. It may also cost him his job for next year or following years. Also, Ragan can't help it that the other drivers on the team are ranked ahead of him-he needs all the help he can get to be the driver he is. If I were those two, I would at least be looking to see what's out there. My opinion is that if you can't fund all the teams properly, then don't do it. While we're at I have another bone to pick with Roush racing. Jack seems to dislike the Toyota people being in NASCAR because they are "un-American". I believe the real reason is that Toyota is making him spend the money to keep up with them, which he is doing with disdain. If Roush wants to be known as a big NASCAR player, they should "buck up".

Jamie McMurray has had plenty of time to prove himself as a winner and simply has not gotten the job done. Is it McMurray, does he just not have the talent? It seems to me not all of the cars in a stable are equal. Look at the 25 car for Hendrick, Mears is not the beat talent in the garage but if Hendrick cars were equal he should be able to finish above 25th every week.
