Dodge, of course, or maybe Pontiac.
Clint has 14 years in the Cup series, it’s expected that he should outrun Suarez. Which, to be fair, Clint only has 3 more top 5s than Daniel on the season.
I agree with most of what you said, but let's remember it was Carl's Edwards sudden departure that forced JGR to bring Suarez up before he may have been ready. I don't recall what their other options were, but I do remember applauding them giving him the shot.
Why would SHR cut the second best driver?
This is a true statement that is irrelevant to the point being made.
How is that irrelevant, if I may ask?
You think a 14 year veteran with only 10 wins to his name that barely outruns his 3rd year teammate deserves to keep his car over a young driver with more upside?
Stating that Tony owns the cars and makes the decisions is obvious.
I guess it is if you are trying to get something started. But what it means is that Gene Haas has the final decision on what happens to the 41 car. It's HIS car. Tony and Gene have the decision on the 14. No joke.
This is where we disagree.
If that is the way you intend on arguing every topic then there is no point in this board.I guess it is if you are trying to get something started. But what it means is that Gene Haas has the final decision on what happens to the 41 car. It's HIS car. Tony and Gene have the decision on the 14. No joke.
so half informed works then.
I’m a realist and don’t pay much attention to “what ifs” like the head-to-head algorithm.
But this is also a business and you can't keep writing checks to keep a guy in the car when the other guy brings money. Do you think all the places menard ran for he was their top choice? No, but it takes money to make a cars go around the track.
. SHR as a whole has had a down season, maybe we should see what happens next year. The only car that’s consistently good is the Harvick-Childers car (imagine that). Even Kurt Busch wasn’t more than a token win a year guy because he was getting Danica’s old team instead of the resources Harvick was. Maybe SHR isn’t as good as people want to believe?
Aric gave the 10 the best performance the cars ever had last season, won a race, finished 5th in points, and we’re already getting the firing squad ready for him
Bowyer honestly has had more "what ifs" than anything else, he's had some really good cars and either got involved or something crazy happens.
Just thinking about it now that might be what makes those 2 a good pair. Tony wants people he likes around and gene looks at it from the business side.
Seems like Tony wants to keep him in the fold, I hope with enough sponsorship he can move back down to Xfinity for a year to keep himself in the eye of teams.
I believe that is part of it for sure, but I also believe all the money(support) wasn't there..and promises to pay down the line doesn't pay the bills. All this would probably be a moot point if Suarez had pulled a win or two out of the bag and Custer wasn't continuing to show more speed. I believe those reasons were all in play. the money wasn't there and Custer performance wise was knocking it out of the park.. Stewart said both of those reasons when he spoke about it. I don't think SHR B.S.'s that much and they are able to make their own decisions instead of Ford making them for them.
He brought the money, but he also won a championship.
