He won't be unemployed long. Too bad things have not worked out on the NHRA side as well as Clay and Company have hoped. I am kinda surprised by this change, I certainly don't think the driver or the crew chief are the problem on that team (I don't know what is, but it doesn't seem to be chemistry is all I am sayin'). I will be interested in the details when they come out ...
If nothing else, it illustrates how much tougher the sledding is on the POWERade side of the fence ...

WTF-O....
Okay, Mike's moving to Melaine's car... Mel's moving into Mike Ashley's fueler, Phil Burkhart in Mel's car.... Hogan to Clay's... Mark and Ron overseeing Morgan's Ride....
And Big Jim Dunn is bossing a new Nitro ride for Frank Manzo....
did I miss anyone? oh, yeah... Phil, Morgan and Clay are team blockers for JR Todd

I used to always say, "If I had 10 million bucks, I would get a McKinney chassis with the first 50 thou. The next million would go to BUYING Alan Johnson for six months."
Well, now that Mike is unemployed, it looks like my Mega Million bucks could be spent elsewhere.
Man, I can't believe he was released. Talk about "Hero-to-Zero".....

I honestly have nothing against Mike Kloeber...and he and Clay have won a TON of IHRA championships, but how many round wins does Clay have this year? Not many. That car seems inconsistent and hardly ever advances. Clay is one heck of a driver, and I'm sure that's the reason for the release.
Again, I'll say that I am a HUGE Clay Millican fan, and I have nothing against Mike...bottom line: that car has not performed this year. Period.

I know right
Let's see he's had the car in the top half of the field most races, ran a few .40s. Just hasn't had much luck on race day. You watch that car's performance go down...

if Kloeber had wanted out...i think they would have worded it better than "he was dismissed"

Tony,
My response was directed towards the why, not the when. I don't believe that it's the perfect timing, but it's not my call -- however, I do understand the why.
