guess not... Maybe Charlotte didn't exist? Maybe it was just an illusion??? Perhaps it was just a figment of our imagination....???
Cause I saw that Copart car boil the rears on darn near every pass... But I also saw 4 cars running side-by-side.... Maybe I should get my eyes fixed?

Give him a chance. There are very few times a crew chief change makes an immediate improvement.

With the Countdown, they have plenty of time to right the ship and I am confident they will. When Tim and Kim Richards came on board it took them 3 races to find the winner's circle.

They also found the big trophy at the end of the season if memory serves ...
If anything, the Countdown will make Todd and Donnie's task easier than Tim and Kim's was ...

Donnie was not on the team in Charlotte, only Todd Smith. I'm sure that it will take a few races to change things over to a combination that they're comfortable with. That's great news though, those two sure had Snake's car moving at the second half of last season.

Don't confuse a hater with facts Paul...........
Looks like a little cool front coming through so should be great weather with highs in the mid 70's.

I hope they get B's car turned around, I would like to see Copart on the side of a competitive dragster.

Yep, he is still with Al Anabi. He isnt listed a co crew chief or anything, but I tihnk i remember hearing he was a 'consultant and lead engineer' for the team. IMO, I wouldn't be surprised if he is helping Dickie out with the car...
Side note- He is a great guy. At Reading last year I just casually walked up to his pits and had a nice conversation with him. Hopefully that second flopper comes sometime soon...

Yep, after a couple decent seasons QB'ing the New Orleans Saints and then being released by the Oakland Raiders, he is now the starting Point Guard for the Houston Rockets.
