Grubnic out, Todd in.

Chris Wilt, you should have seen it. He was irate. No joke. He was sitting on the golf cart and clearly I seen him mouth: "That SON OF A B*tch!!".

Connie has always had a temper and he showed it with this latest move. Bob V said that JR is signed with him and intends to put him in the car and claimed this is his last year so I don't think JR is going to be the permanent future of Connie's ride.
I hope he clams down and does the right thing!

I believe Dave is computer guy for the whole group.

The car didn't have a sponsor on it this weekend.

True, and Vandegriff has him under contract so Im stll confused as to why Connie wanted another teams driver!

 

[Nitrohelper]

.........I'm still confused ......

Maybe it's because he was at the track with his driving stuff in the trailer!...

 

[Rajunz]

Vandy sounded to me like he had a little desperation in his voice. I think we all know, that if Connie really wants JR, he'll get JR.

I thought he said he was in Indy and got the call on Friday night to get to Vegas ASAP.

I was uite surprised to hear that this is 99% chance bv last year driving. If so Good for JR ,connie should call dixon and he could bring velocity over there for the rest of the year maybe???

My guess is that if Conrad was interested in obtaining Dixon's driving skills, he would have done so at the time...

From Mark Rebilas on Twitter:

BREAKING NEWS! @TeamKalitta replaces David Grubnic with J.R. Todd starting with the next qualifying run here at @LVMSStrip #NHRA

Did you hear Torrence after he beat JR on a holeshot?

“I guess JR is going to have to answer to Kalitta now.”

Ouch.

Torrence is doing nothing to increase his popularity. He comes off more and more as a spoiled, rich, smartass brat. And I kinda liked him at first

I just watched on Youtube. You think Connie was explaining to the driver of the cart 'Just hit the throttle and make the pass - don't three step and ruin everything'

That's money directly out of Connie's pocket. Playing with money is like playing with emotions.

Actually, I think that's a pretty funny comment by Torrence. Ya know, everyone complains about drivers being so sterile in their interviews and when a guy pulls a "gem" like that off people still complain!

 

[CrewMan]

It was a gem of a comment...but I think some folks angst with it is that it come from a young cocky kid. I get that...it's kinda like "you haven't paid enough dues to make a comment like that". Kind like you don't know what you don't know yet.

Anyway, I did find it interesting that Connie said in his statement that David has wanted to go to the tuning side for awhile....hopefully that will transpire.

Like him or hate him...if it is the bosses money....it's the bosses money...and if I was Connie and my "employee" did not do what he was supposed to (ala smack the gas and hold on) and it was costing me $X thousands per run, we had a plan and he opted to do his own thing...hell yeah...see ya. It's a business yes, and business is business, but racing is a whole lot "different" business than most.

Of course when it happened allowed this thing to blow up, but my guess is Grubs will go to the tuning side or R & D for Kalitta and someone with credentials moves into the seat. I would love it to be JR. Being from the Indiana, Ky, Ohio area...JR is pretty known and you could not ask for a more well rounded, well spoken, well mannered guy. He has been that since his days in a junior. Just not sure what that contract with BVG is all about. Guess we are going to find out.

Torrence is hardly a beginner. He has been around for quite awhile. Starting in the alcohol class. He has nothing to prove to anyone. Are you kidding me, all these guys (girls) are spoiled rich kids. Who else can afford to do this?
