Hearing that Kerry Earnhardt might be out of that ride in July. Anyone else hear this? His performance has been rather poor, how many top 10's this year?
You have a good eye.I have cursed Jack and co.a lot of times this year for choosing Barrett to drive what is one of the best cars out there.He just isnt performing up to the level of the car.Carl Edwards or Jon Wood would be much better suited to the #60 than Stanton is.Originally posted by park30fan@Jun 6 2003, 06:26 PM
If they're going to replace him with Casey Atwood, it's a very good move. Kerry has been horrible(0 top 10s) and Casey actually would have a chance of winning. Stanton Barrett is the one who really needs to be fired. Driving a Roush Busch car, and the defending champion one at that, and he's rarely competitive.
DEI has helped out some with the 12 team, it appears to me the 12 team doesn't have it all together...when Kerry ran ARCA with help from DEI he kicked some butt....so is it Kerry or the 12 team or both?Originally posted by 97forever@Jun 6 2003, 08:57 PM
Sorry to jump off topic.
It should prove interesting to see whether or not Kerry can land on his feet if he does lose the ride.Will this 'obligate' DEI to lend a hand?Put Kerry in a car,in other words?
Sorry hooty...nothing against Kerry cuz he is a great kid...but he has put the car in the wall more than they have had mechanical failures.Originally posted by hooty3@Jun 6 2003, 06:58 PM
say what you want about kerry, but that team has not grown at all as a team, there has been several mechanical probs this year and i dont think atwood or anyone else could/would/will do much better...that 12 TEAM hasn't come together as it should have...

Edwards is going to be a star. I don't care how good his equipment is, to run as good as he did until his mechanical problem as a rookie at Darlington, very impressive. When Mark retires, I think Carl will be his replacement in the #6. And from many Roush fans I've heard Barrett did get the ride because he had a sponsor, but still, I bet you could put just about any of the underfunded back of the pack Busch drivers in that car and run top 10 weekly.

What was Roush thinking?Did Barrett bring his sponsor with him?Apparently.
That's all a half-decent driver would need to be competitive.Originally posted by PettyBenson4510@Jun 6 2003, 10:39 PM
All that is the same is the cars!
Not true...the front tire changer for the #60 team the past two years, Scott Gertz, who I met though a mutual friend...isn't with the #16 team this year.Originally posted by PettyBenson4510@Jun 6 2003, 09:39 PM
A quick note on Stanton and the #60 team! All that is the same is the cars! The whole crew from last years championship team moved up with Greg.

Not sure what he is doing this year? Don't think he is still with the #60 team.Originally posted by PettyBenson4510@Jun 6 2003, 10:21 PM
is he on the #60 BGN car?
Fox said a few races ago talking about Stanton that the team moved up with Greg.
well..i think its pretty even on that point and Kerry hasn't wreck on his own that many times(look how many time Jimmy Jam has lost it this year)...but its all really irrelevent, because as a team, it just isn't there...Originally posted by hooty3+Jun 7 2003, 07:44 AM--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (hooty3 @ Jun 7 2003, 07:44 AM)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>Originally posted by -17_Fan@Jun 6 2003, 09:55 PM

Kerry's wife is smokin too!!! She was with him at Milwaukee last year when I met him & got his autograph.Originally posted by hooty3@Jun 7 2003, 07:44 AM
and to your other post...yes she is and who couldn't sing better than terry??!!... :lol:
He did have a good run, but was in the middle of something with the points leader of the series. Todd got a tremendous run off the corner and just plowed into him. Sometimes you need to be aware of surounding drivers, especially if your running for a championship.Originally posted by Gollum@Jun 8 2003, 03:34 PM
Kerry had a great runn going Sat. untill T. Bodine messed it up. It had to be a Bodine.
