I would assume you cannot just decide to attend MIT, so I would think if it is true, then German was planning his exit from Penske well before Busch gave him the tongue lashing(s). This would be the best of all circumstances -- if Penske knew German was possibly leaving then we can only hope they have some sort of competent replacement ready to go.
If this is a cover story, then god help us because there is no one to my knowledge currently at Penske who can just step in (PLEASE NOT Roy McCauley!!) and maintain let alone improve things.
Best case scenario is that Penske goes cherry-picking and grabs some talent from any of the big teams. He throws enough cash around in IRL - time to make NASCAR an equal in importance not the red-headed step child (see I had to get a Dale Jr reference in here somehow! LOL)
Hey Kristen!
ReplyDeleteSounds like the dude was planning this for quite some time... Was he ticked at Kurt earlier and subtly messing with him clear in the knowledge he was a short timer? I've heard stranger things happening when two people are at odds but that's one of those things left only to speculation...
I'm sure Kurt thinks the team can't do any worse without German. Heck of a time to jump ship though...
Tez is an engineer! He's a NASCAR fan and all-around racing nut. Send in your app. tez!
Hey Dwindy!
ReplyDeleteThat would be truly unfortunate if TG was messin' with Kurt and our equipment consciously or unconsciously - I can't really see it but as you say stranger things happen.
Yea Tez! Thats the ticket! I would love to hear all the great names Kurt could come up with for the Aussie!
Tony Eury Jr! Calm enough, but he wouldn't put up with Kurt's crap.
ReplyDeleteI heard Kez was getting a sponsor for his truck team. Who?
"Mate, I watch football, the proper one with the round ball, not that namby pansy crap you guys *claim* is football. I put up with watching all those European diving divas crying everytime someone even *breathes* in their direction so listening to your meagre little tantrum won't do jack. Just drive the bloody car and give us better feedback than 'it's crap' or I'll ask Roger to replace you with Jimmy Spencer next week."
ReplyDeleteHow's that?
I should note, however, that I am not a Mechanical Engineer...as such, I wouldn't know the first thing when it comes to making changes on the car, lol
My question is this... Just how much does The Captain want to spend on a red-headed step child? You'd think Roger would want to match what Chip has done so far in the two venues. Of course, I think Chip get's crossover tech from involvement in the Rolex series. Roger, on the other hand has left the sports car racing scene, for the time being at least.
ReplyDeleteTez, you could stay at the Holiday Inn though. lol
ReplyDeleteI meant to say earlier, that I miss seeing the Penske bunch at the ALMS races!
ReplyDeleteI think it's the pits that all the comments got sucked into the FOX black hole!
