I’m still waiting for Tony Stewart to give Michael McDowell the 10 car
That would be an interesting pick. Good, solid veteran driver, but not flashy.
@Eric Estepp I can see him having a Jamie McMurray or Clint Bowyer type of career with that move, have about 5 wins and keep his car clean
@Eric Estepp agree with you Eric Im Eirik lol good strong name 🙂
I don’t think it makes sense for McDowell to go to the 10 when the 34 is honestly more competitive and a team on the rise rather than a team on the downfall.
how poetic is it that berry is replacing the replacement for the father of his mentor that ‘fathered’ him, in a way this was the most predictable silly season move for a long, long time.
Wow that’s really really good
I never thought of it that way but that’s a really cool storyline. But does that mean he’s gonna leave SHR after a while for possibly a JRMS cup team possibly?
@Austin KnappI think Jr might hire a guy like Truex or another veteran to be the first JRM driver.
I’m glad you’re talking about crew chiefs. Team 54’s crew chief has participated in losing Ty at least 100 points this year. What I’ve come to understand this season. Crew Chief strategy has to include if something happens to lose multiple spots on the racetrack then some risk has to be taken to regain position. Most likely include staying on the track, gas only stop, or two tire stops. Chris Gayle has been horrible in this way.
Yes, but he has had good cars on the track it seems, so some of that is good adjustments from the crew chief. However, his crew chief could use strategy to get him more spots too.
You just did a great job and I think your right on the numbers have a great rest of your day stay safe and healthy
I’m gonna give Berry a chance in the 4 car, as I do think that he has the potential. However, I really hope that someone like Michael McDowell or Ryan Newman gets picked to replace Aric Almirola. I’ve said this countless times, but a seasoned veteran presence behind at least one of their cars is what any organization, especially one like a struggling SHR, needs right now more than ever.
Berry’s got the best team in that shop right now, so he won’t have any excuses if he struggles for two or more years. I REALLY hope that he will do well with the team, especially if Tony the Tiger is around to help out the new kid as he grows into his new role.
I really doubt Newman is super interested in a full-time return.
@crystaljonmost likely true, but a fan can hope right?
@crystaljonI don’t think Newman would still get it done really.
Imagine if McDowell replaces Almirola next season
Please no. McDowell and FRM are a perfect fit. It would be a lateral move. SHR needs to sign someone like Stenhouse or LaJoie or put up with another mediocre year of Almirola.
@Gage Brumley I like the thought of a seasoned veteran going into that 10 car
That will be Preace and Custer will be back in the sucking 41 car it’s either the crew the car or the number but it can’t be the driver cause both the two drivers can win we have seen it I just think It just needs to be the 4 10 and 14 or change the number of the 4th car or put of effort into it
Hopefully SHR can fully pursuit young talented prospects from the Ford Driver Development Program as well as the leaders being more committed to the team instead of putting their main focus on other affairs. Lastly, they shouldn’t never put their focus on one car only but all 4 cars moving forward.
After this season, Kevin Harvick will have to schedule a doctor’s appointment for his back after all the carrying he had to do for SHR.
But in all honesty, I see Josh doing “Berry” decent next season
he needs surgery
My eyes rolled from the pun. SMH. Haha!
there was actually a document made about Busch going to Chastain on a trustworthy news site for nascar, however this was removed due to this being right at the same time as the other controversies. so it’s pretty safe to say that chastain has Busch
Either Carson Kvapil or Carson Hocevar will be in the JRM 8 car next year
Im interested to see what josh berry has to drive the 4 car for next year.
I think josh berry will do better than his teammates and i do think they are heading towards how roush rebuilt but almirola is leaving soon so I think it will ultimately depend on who they bring in for almirola to see how long the rebuild will take
Hope the best for Josh berry. Happy for him I only hope that it doesn’t lead us to disapointment. I mean thought Preece could help turn the team around but so far he has been disapointment. Hope that doesn’t happen with Berry
Josh may be able to keep them where they are now but if the whole 4 teams get better in two years he can be one of the best on track but they have to get their cars better first.
In 433 starts as a crew chief, Drew Blickensderfer’s 3 of his 4 career wins have come at Daytona… including 2 Daytona 500 wins. And after his first two starts ever as a crew chief, he was 2-0. What a weird career
I am confident that Josh Berry will be the driver to turn things around a little in SHR. In fact I think he will do better than all 3 of the other SHR drivers. Just a gut feeling.
We are definitely going to see some wins from Stewart Haas with Josh Berry behind the wheel. That is a great combo. Can’t wait to see the fruits of their labor. Love it.
I just hope the Richard Boswell move to Briscoe will help. Briscoe has started with sub 30th speed on way to many weekends this season. I hope Boswell can get the cars more speed and handle more to Briscoe’s liking than Jonny Klausmier could. Because it is just unacceptable to have that complete lack of speed for weeks on end when you are supposed to be in the conversation of super teams.
If they come together like they did in the xfinity series it will be a complete turnaround. I’m not sure why they didn’t do this much sooner.
SHR needs to go after Ocean Spray for sponsors. A “CranBERRY” colored #4 would be a hit!!
