Any speculation on RWR crew chief pick for Schumacher?

[LoPony]

I had the same question. He is not one of the multi-billionair people. My read of his bio is he is supported in all the forms of motor racing he does by the sponsors he has, he doesn't have his own treasury. Kind of like Force.

My feeling, based on no hard info, only logic, is that Rick must either have guarantees from sponsors, or feels so comfortable about the prospects that he’s funding a second team. I would hate to see it fall through at this point, that would be a disaster for him. I think it’s going to work, unless there is an economic plunge (mmmm…yes, quite possible) since he’s all in it for the business side of racing and he’s a pretty good business dude.

I guess nobody has ever considered that it would still be Neff.

I know there's more than one guy with "prior history"....

It's from when the hills were cooling, so we all looked different.

I like it, and I thought thought about it, but I don’t look for that one to happen.

at one time he was suppose to be putting a new car together for RWR for a potential new driver but never heard anymore about it.

One thing I think I may have learned about racing during my short time on this planet - there's no shortage of rumors or speculation, but once it's out in the open - you can figure on it coming to fruition.
MK has plenty of experience and history, plus I don't know offhand if he's working with another team ATM, so like anyone else - all bets are off until the announcement is OK to make.

It's gonna be me. Between my relationship with Tony, Clay, Jim-O and Nicky. As well as my relationship with AJ, Austin Coil, Jimmy Prock, David Grubnic, Mike Green, and every other crew chief you can name. I'm the perfect choice. Tony will have 100 wins, and 10 Championships by the end of the 29 season.

I'm pretty sure........

Oh hell yeah, I’m definitely all in on the fan list for that one!

Hmm. Recently?

 

[z28]

Hmm. Recently?

as I recal it was shortly after RWR bought the team

 

[65 Goatboy]

Jim O came on board after Doug Stringer fired Kloeber then Rick Ware bought the team. It's all documented on Clay's youtube channel. Many of todays crew members were their back then and some of them were just getting their start, Kloeber didn't have much patience with his young crew. So, IMHO Kloeber will not be the crew chief.

That second car with Kloeber was supposed to be with Jordan V.

A few of the scrapper guys are on teams already and my money is on Rob turning the screws.

Has the Salinas camp ever done an interview or issued a formal statement explaining the status of their team? Heard lots of conjecture on what is going on but nothing from the horses mouth. Top team,With some really good people, it would be nice for their many fans to know.what is happening

Yes, I have asked the same thing. Nothing but crickets from the audience. Mike seems like a good guy who I think would answer some questions if interviewed. It's a big deal for him to just fold his team out of left field, after being out there for quite a few years now. Or, why doesn't someone just ask the daughter, who is still out there racing PSB?

 

[mick]

more than likely the public will never know why they quit mid-season. they don't owe anyone an explanation. mite seem like they do,
but they don't.

Of course no explanation is required, yet Mike had a huge fanbase that looked up to him and his leadership and Jasmine was building a humongous fanbase with every round win, an explanation would have been nice.
Will continue to hope to see them back (JFR- Brit and Grubnic could use a teammate, that would be one heckuva T/F team)

i guess stranger things have happened, but i'm not crossing my fingers. look how many sponsors it takes just to get brit thru a full season.
maybe if mike were to bring a sponsor to JFR? but if he had that, he'd likely still be out there on his own. apparently things didn't work out
with julie nataas either. seems like she brings a little money too, that is at least now ending up in a FC with Del ....... gotta' get those
personalities to mesh before the money is spent.
