I think that RC is just as much a part of the problem as Austin Dillon. RC is living and running his team in the past and look how mediocre the entire team is.

I think the most telling part of Chase’s quote is that Truex had a hard deadline to make a decision this year. Makes me think that maybe, possibly, he had some help making that decision.

As far as Petree and RCR goes, that was a much needed change. I wouldn’t be surprised if the 3 car opens up in a year or two and Austin moves up to a leadership role. He’s not as awful as a driver as people think, but something tells me he’ll be a lot better on top of a pit box.

With this amount of drivers available, I understand JGR not wanting Truex to wait a couple months longer with his decision like last year.

From how Childers has been speaking I think he wants to stay as crew chief for Berry where ever he ends up. If he can’t I could just see him retire instead.

I’m as big a Ford guy as anyone but unless you have some kind of deeper attachment to the Blue Oval there’s no one in their right mind turning down JGR for the Wood Brothers.

If Austin does retire then at the very least he’s had a decent Cup career winning 4 times with two being a crown jewel wins plus his winless championship in the Xfinity Series along with his Truck Series championship.

Personally I think Berry and Childers would be a better fit at RCR if they want to find speed in the cars. Noah will probably get the seat because of Bass Pro but yes it’s time for Silver spoon to hang up the helmet.

Honestly if Busch wants out as much as he’s making it seem I think you buy him out too. Maybe that’s how they end up with Noah and Berry/ Childers.

Berry, Childers and the entire 4 crew should move to the Wood Brothers. They need to clean house after years of preforming worse than their equipment.

Reply
@gatling216 June 27, 2024 at 1:04 am

I’m inclined to think things are a lot more complicated over there than we realize. Harrison’s record suggests that he should at least be hanging out in the middle of the field in fair to middling equipment, not consistently bringing up the rear.

Still remember the All Star Race when Kyle Busch said to Stenhouse Jr. that “I suck just as bad as you” right in front of Andy Petree. It’s likely Kyle’s comments and their recent poor performance at New Hampshire played into Andy’s decision to step down.

@wanderingjewadventures June 26, 2024 at 8:03 pm

I think everyone is forgetting that there is another charter potentially available. If the 15 finishes bottom three this year, NASCAR could revoke that charter, thus giving another opportunity for RCR, RFK, Trackhouse, or 23XI to expand

​@@brianmurray7980 I’d say until we see a driver last more than three years at Wood Bros, and start being competitive on a similar level to Penske or other big teams, it will always be considered a satellite team. It’s even used like a typical satellite team. Roger Penske put Blaney there until he decided to bite the bullet and added a third car. Cindric was going to go through the same process until the 2 opened up. It’s basically just a place where drivers sit and wait for a better ride. But I do wish Wood Brothers could find a long-term, great driver that puts them in a good spot, but I just think any good talent they get will just be taken by another team.

Richard Childress didn’t have a great career as a driver, but he excelled as a team owner. Maybe that’s the key. Kick Dillon upstairs, put Gragson in the 8, and build the 3 team around Kyle Busch. I want to see Busch/RCR work out.
