Jeff Green to the #1 car

damn could park go to greens ride Harvick might want to watch out in two weeks
 
cmon there is no official word from dei yet that park was released now they are saying green is in, dont seem right to me
 
Yep it is all confirmed by DEI.

Don't know how long "interim" is. But for whatever period of time that is, the ride is Jeff's.

It is also being strongly rumored that Mike Wallace has the 30 car for Charlotte with no indication of what happens after that.
 
;) This going to be really intersting seeing Green chase down Harvick, something tells me this has been in the makings for awhile.....just a got feeling. ;)
 
Now this doesnt make any sense at all. Ty Norris, Junior, and Teresa have their head up their @ss I believe. At the beginning of the season, Junior slammed the RCR group, in particular Jeff Green because of Green's lack of teamwork with the rest of the group. Junior and Green had an offtrack verbat spat and now DEI goes and signs Green when they were bad mouthing him about being a terrible team mate?

I believe this move will result in the same problems in which RCR had, DEI might not experience the same success they have had in the short term.


In turn, Mike Wallace going to the 30 car will be good for RCR. Mike has a lot of experience with many different cars and can bring some insight and veteran leadership to Robby and Kevin, who both have less than 110 starts each.
 
First thing I thought, was Jr. wasn't going to be happy about this. Green won't do any better than Park did.
 
That's why i think "it is all a conspiracy".....heheheheh, sorry couldn't resist! :D
 
Man!I was starting a post and missed this one.Green in the #1 car??Incredible.

And you are dead-on Robby31.Just a surprise to me that DEI/Norris hired him.
 
Seriously....DEI must have a reason why they hired Green, they can't just be desperate to fill that seat time in the #1. There are other drivers out there, so they must know something we don't!
 
Something to note of:

Will Steve Park still drive for Chance 2?
 
Wallace to the the 30 Car? That's awesome, he can do pretty well in decent equipment. It'll be cool to see all three of the Wallace boys on the track again
 
I think Park will take some time off to think about this entire situation. Like i said in an earlier post he needs to evaluate where he stands right now in his career , what the best move would be. As far as looking for another ride,making a rush decision at this point would probably hurt him more than it would help him.

Been trying to dope that one out myself.

Which came first?

Did the firing of Green by RCR preciptate the DEI decision to make the move now?

Was Green fired by RCR so that DEI could make their move?

It all came too close together to be coincidence completely. One has to at least believe the DEI move was made because Green was available. But there is a possibility that Green's contract was such that RCR would never have made such a move if they did not know Jeff would have a job right away.

And how did the sponsors agree to all this so fast???
 
Yep something doesn't "jive" just right here,seems way too coincidental to me!
 
Hey maybe Junior needed someone to "punt" on the track that wouldnt go crying to the Nascar trailer???
Green is used to wearing yellow???

Or maybe they did not want to spend a lot of time looking and Richard handed them an interim to buy some time.

I hope Jr's honor's this....I guess there is/has been alot of promotion around this already, plus steve just shot some commercials(not sure for who) so I dont think he can just disappear....he ran good once in this car, and I think he can do it again...



as far as green goes....all i can say is..DOH!!!!!!!.....Dale canned his butt once in busch and he's in one of his cars....i hope the is some underlying connection to this between RCR and DEI, I cant comprehend why they'd take green so fast..... :( :angry: :wacko:
 
DANG that was fast!!! The best part of that is Mike Wallace in the #30 car all year!!
 
Wallace in the #30? hearing Mike Wallace could drive the #30 AOL Chevy at Lowe's Motor Speedway for the Winston Open and Coca Cola 600 and could be the driver for the rest of 2003,(
 
Hope Jr. wasn't looking for a team player to work with him and Mikey. That is one thing that Green is not. He is not a team player.

Interm is as long as it takes to get shane Hmeil(sp?) a penzoil firesuit....

I was really shocked that the let steve go this early. I was expecting it after the first Michigan race. Steve usually runs really good at Lowes too...
 
Wow! Things sure are moving fast. Like HS said a little too fast almost. Wonder what JR thinks of Green coming over to DEI? :unsure: Nothing like stirring things up.
 
It's pretty interesting, considering the RCR/DEI smack that was being tossed around in Daytona. DirtyMo, question sort of related to getting Shane Hmeil in the Pennzoil firesuit comment, is his father the spotter for the #1 car? :unsure: I can't remember.

Shane is the son of steve hmeil the technical director for DEI
 
The very idea of Hmiel in a decent ride rubs me the wrong way. If there is any driver less deserving I cant think who it would be right now. Hmiel would be punted more than Jack Sprague ever thought about if he drove even half as carelessly in Cup as he does in BGN.

Man I never saw that coming so early! (PARK OUT AND GREEN IN)
 
According to Steve's official site, he was let go last night, not today. HIs and Green's dismissals were only hours apart, not the 24. So what does that do to the conspiracy theories?
 
txracingdiva it adds fuel to the theories that is for sure. Seems really odd the timing on this entire situation. Any word yet on who will be driving the 01 ,until and if Nadeau comes back?
 
Something to think about:

Jeff Green and Childress did get along. They went hunting together a lot. But a change was needed in the RCR camp, Green could not work with Harvick at all. Knowing that RCR and DEI work together a lot and share information sometimes, what if RCR had communicated to DEI that he was releasing Green so DEI could immediately pick up Green and give him the #1 ride.

Its more than just coincidence that both teams released their drivers almost at the same time. Especially given that fact that Green worked with DEI before.

And Dale Sr hired Park to replace Green. Talk about your ironies.
