@dxfifaI agree. If it wasn’t his fault he would be finishing races more. He’s just been utter garbage this year.

@FormulaChris085Yes it was. The 42 was garbage last year as well. The minute he took the first offer that came his way I knew it was a mistake. He was set at JRM. But took the first offer that came too him.

Sure seems like Chevy pulled manufacturer support a long time before that announcement came out as bad as those cars have been the entire year

31 hopefully

He’s been pure garbage by any standard, crashing, no pace, just out of his depth. Jones is a mid level driver just stomping him

Throw on top of that the fact that both Matt Kaulig and Chris Rice both love drivers with personality, which is something Noah has in spades.

Bring Wendy’s and BRCC, maybe add in some Celsius dollars, and that #31 won’t need to have many races sponsored by the team owner next year.

And, the #31 would be a step up from the CURRENT #42, even if not as good as the #42 could be next season.

No, look at AJ Allmendinger’s statuses from 2007. Failed to qualify 19 or 20 times in a well funded car in

Getting rid of Jimmie from
LMC management would be a start. I’m a massive Jimmie Johnson fan but the moment he joined the team was the moment they collapsed after Jones set them up last year. It’s not a coincidence.

Honestly, the 42 wasn’t a bad offer to take last year, but that came with the assumption that LMC would be as competitive as they were last year.
They haven’t been (and really, most of the Childress and affiliated cars besides the 1, 8, and maybe the 31 have been on a downswing this year).
