Any excuse for a Danica thread

It's going to be hard to find a crew chief that can fix lack of talent. ;)

I think with the right CC and a driver coach other than Tony, she could become a decent Cup driver in a year or 2. I do agree that many of her wrecks were her getting 'caught up' in something, but at some point she has to start missing once in awhile.
 
Jr Motorsports realized they need to go in a new direction. Not sure why FB chose to make it a Danica hate thread. (actually, I do know):D

Larry McReynolds dishes on Danica and JR Motorsports

Former NASCAR Sprint Cup Series crew chief Larry McReynolds has worked with some of the most successful organizations in NASCAR. Now a TV analyst with Speed, McReynolds offered up his thoughts this week on the recent departure of Tony Eury Jr. and Tony Eury Sr. from JR Motorsports.
While McReynolds agreed a change was needed based on performance, he had some straight-forward comments about that organization's driver lineup, which this season includes Danica Patrick and Cole Whitt.
“I think their current driver lineup is running as well they’re going to run. In the Nationwide Series, Danica Patrick is probably as good as she’s going to be. She’s going to run between ninth and 15th and maybe score a top five on a really good day," McReynolds said. "I don’t care if you put Chad Knaus in as her crew chief. She’s going to run where she is running.
"As much as I’d love to say she could run fender-to-fender with Ricky Stenhouse, Jr., Austin Dillon or Elliott Sadler, I don’t think it’s there. Danica is great for our sport and I’m excited about her running fulltime in the Cup Series. But she has run 51 Nationwide Series races, and that’s a lot of races.
"By the same token, Cole Whitt is going to run where he is running. He was thrown into the deep end pretty fast. I think he’s between a sixth and 12th place driver right now. That’s where he ran with the Eurys, and that’s where he’s going to run without them."
McReynolds said Richard Childress Racing's Nationwide program offers up a valid benchmark for comparison.
"JR Motorsports is a Chevrolet team. RCR is a Chevrolet team, and they’re winning races and sitting second and third in the points, so it’s not a Chevrolet problem. JR Motorsports runs Hendrick engines but Turner Motorsports is winning races with Hendrick engines, so it’s not the engines," he said. "So, I think this is why they had to do something to try to make their race cars better

Larry kind of talked himself in a circle there. It's the drivers, it's not the CC and competition director, it's not the engines or cars, other peole win with those cars, the cars need to get better.

Well, maybe a drunken circle.
