Clay Milican and RWR

[DG]

There will be a second car that I'm going to drive. Part of this post is false

Great! The bad news is that I am your crew chief!

Not currently being in the top 10 is not a good situation for such a talented team. It takes money, talent and luck. I bet they pull out all the stops this weekend and do well. Wish them the best.

They have run all the races, so they are in because of that.

Don't remember if it was the video from Topeka or Brainerd but Clay said he doesn't believe in luck. Whatever happens was just meant to be.

Nice pull in Q1. Currently P8

Breaking: A Second Rick Ware Racing Dragster + Another NASCAR Owner Looking At Drag Racing

By Brian Losness The big news at Indy is that Rick Ware Racing purchased the assets of Doug Stringer Performance. And that he will be moving the team to Mooresville, North Carolina. SLNM has also learned that RWR has rehired the formerly departed crew chief Mike Kloeber. Kloeber is scheduled to...

Check out our story on this. It'll all come together.

That 3.70 was a statement. TF is alive and well.

 

[Luke Nieuwhof]

Clay might not believe in luck, but after a shocking mid season their last half a dozen or so first round losses have included a couple of coin flips and some runs that would have done well in any other pairing. Hopefully they close out the year strongly.

I was thinking yesterday about the performance of Clay today may have been due to budget. Think about JO he has never been a crew chief for a team that had a tight budget, and it was difficult for him to make a good tuneup without risking wounding parts.
I'm hoping that the team's performance picks up. As for the crew, I'm wondering if some won't want to relocate to NC.
Time will tell.

Jordan Vandergriff is at Indy in RWR swag.

Thought Vandergriff was going to drive for them. Wonder what will happen to Clay’s old

thought i remembered someone who was at indy commented they saw kloeber in clay's pit........have not seen him on tv, nor has anyone mentioned him further.
was he brought in just for one race to help the new RWR team? ...... loving their performance lately with fresh/er parts. great to see them going rounds.
on clay's vids there is another new guy up in trailer office with him, rick, and jim......i believe he has an english accent.

Kloeber is believed to be the crew chief on the second car that Jordan Vandergriff is supposed to drive. JV was at Indy in a RWR team shirt.

thanks spencer.....the other guy helping them tune is bruce reed from australia (i'm pretty sure)

 

[Sherman, Sherm, & Sherm Gun]

Correct, the other guy is the one that had the explosion when they started the car a few months ago. I believe he is just visiting for a couple of races.

 

[Butch]

He's the guy with the Ausse car that had that HUGE startup explosion.

I looked for kloeber at maple grove,no where to be seen. He was in indy but for some reason clays camera/youtube wasnt working just in the crew chief lounge just for that race, seems odd lol

 

[unclebob]

That would be Bruce READ, crewchief of the Jim Read owned, Phil Read driven T/F car. Bruce is a very longtime friend of Jim O.

Rich Were's son was injured in the NASCAR race in Texas yesterday.

Rich Were's son was injured in the NASCAR race in Texas yesterday.

Not really though. Loaded him onto the stretcher as a precaution, but a couple hours later they checked and released him with no injuries or concussions. Expected to be good to go for Talladega this weekend.
