Tifft/McLeod is partnering with Falk to buy the charter from GoFas.
Hopefully Tifft’s rich family money makes this team a top 30 team like Lajoie did.

Rusty Wallace said it himself, watching Dale die was his wake up call and he knew it was his time to walk away. However he also admitted he was gun shy before this event, it was just the icing on the cake.
Am I mis-remembering or didn't GoFas announce a closer relationship with SHR this year and going forward? I was really hoping to see them take some steps forward and Lajoie has had some nice runs in that car.
Not really sure what it is people expect from these relationships, Lajoie was on record saying that the teams Bristol chassis was 8 years old, hard to make steps forward with 8 year old technology
Alliances are a funny thing.Hence the reason I was asking about the relationship that I thought I remembered hearing about. I personally do not "expect" anything from an alliance, but why bother if you are still running "8 year old" equipment. Seems like a waste to me. But that is just my opinion.
Some times old is better. I know other teams had older cars they kept for specialNot really sure what it is people expect from these relationships, Lajoie was on record saying that the teams Bristol chassis was 8 years old, hard to make steps forward with 8 year old technology
Wow that's big. Hope he fits into the HMS system well. The 24 car could be a heck of a contender next seasonWhat a steal by HMS:
Rudy Fugle will be Willy B's new CC for 2021.
Things are getting mighty spooky at KBM...Good for Rudy. Been wondering for years why he hasn't been moved up. Good job Toyota.
Did you get home okay or are you still on some St. Pete street corner, wondering when the race will resume and if @FLRacingFan forgot to pick you up?Things are getting mighty spooky at KBM...
Absolutely, I left and waited for traffic to die down after the race. Got a bite to eat, rehydrated and got on the road.Did you get home okay or are you still on some St. Pete street corner, wondering when the race will resume and if @FLRacingFan forgot to pick you up?
Sheldon: You've already signed something Brent Spiner; your name on my list! From this moment on, you are my mortal enemy!Ho boy. Revman will have to add another one to his dart board.
You knew when FL showed up and gave you a big rubber thumb and a new pair of shoes that is was time to find another ride or it was going to be a long hitch hike.Absolutely, I left and waited for traffic to die down after the race. Got a bite to eat, rehydrated and got on the road.
Unfortunately no we did not, the kid is quite elusive.
I would have appreciated it.You knew when FL showed up and gave you a big rubber thumb and a new pair of shoes that is was time to find another ride or it was going to be a long hitch hike.
He's on the same Uber plan as the Busch brothers or Sr. and Jr.I would have appreciated it.
It would have given me ample time to break in the new shoes.
His guy won the race, but lost the championship.He's on the same Uber plan as the Busch brothers or Sr. and Jr.
As an Hitachi employee, I probably would have left you too.His guy won the race, but lost the championship.
More than likely, I would have been left.
I'm surprised no one has poached Rudy before now. Good get.
KB threatened them. Said if anyone tries, he won't win any cup races this year.What's more surprising to me is that he hasn't moved up the Toyota ladder yet. Did they honestly not think to at least give him a shot in the Xfintity series?
Might be because Chad has been promoted next year. To make it a bit planer..he won't be a crew chief. Hendrick went outside to hire Rudy Fugle and Fugle has a really good resumeSMH at all this raving and gushing about Rudy Fugle. When exactly did Chad Knaus become chopped liver? The man has won 80-some Cup races and 7 Cup championships. And y'all are talking like Chad's job change and putting Rudy up on the pit box is finally gonna get William Byron to the front... LOL.
I have nothing against Rudy Fugle. I just think the tone of this discussion is ludicrous... that the 24 team finally has the crew chief they have been needing all along. SMH.
Lew, I think what you are seeing in Chad is burn out and that is quite common when a man has been so dedicated for so long. He will be just as valuable in his new position.SMH at all this raving and gushing about Rudy Fugle. When exactly did Chad Knaus become chopped liver?

It definitely has potential given that they are already somewhat familiar with each other and had success together. Also coming from the truck series, Fugle is more used to working with and sometimes guiding etc young(er) drivers.I don’t see how a combo with chemistry isn’t an improvement when Chad is the guy that will oversee the whole organization.
Moving Randall Burnett it seemed from the 2 Xfinity car with Reddick to the 8 car seemed to give RCR a jolt.
Well, I don't like it, but it's done.
