Millican and Kloeber Reunited in 2019 (1 Viewer)

I guarantee they didn't want to replace Mac or Grubby...but they can't run the car without a crew chief.

Eugene; my take on what you stated is, Grubby put in his notice before Kloeber's announcement.

it's sure not how fast can you go anymore with the 'detuned' tracks. a new learning curve took place this season and dave was a small handfull of TF and FC crew chiefs that figured it out first.
who can adapt first to new rules.......i am happy to see mike kloeber coming back; always struck me as a thinker. will always remember him with the snake back in late 80's, also i believe he
crewed for a one season deal with the orange reebok TF'r driven by cristen powell.

Here is a link to an article at NHRA.com. https://www.nhra.com/news/2018/mike-kloeber-announced-clay-millican-s-crew-chief-2019-season

So Grubby did pull the trigger first.

Wherever Dave and Mac end up, that car will be in the hunt!

 

[Dragracer]

Thanks Eugene, that certainly puts a different light on this. Will be interesting to see where Grubby ends up.
The silly season is certainly going to be interesting. I think there are more big changes to coming before the Winternationals
See you at BPR soon.

Let's not forget Bob Vandergriff will be running a 2 car team next year, albeit for only 15-16 races....

 

[Rajunz]

My $$$ is that Grubby and Mac will be at Kalitta, Force or Shoe's. They can probably get any job they want at this point.

 

[none]

It was reported on Competition Plus that Kalitta and Schumacher denied that he was coming there..............

 

[Joker]

I think you can bet money he wont be back at Kalitta

 

[stitcherbob]

not to be a doubter in this, but didn't Millican come on strong after the NHRA reduced the glue?
A few teams picked up while the big teams faltered. But they have all caught up by now, so I can see the 2 crewchiefs joining a worthwhile team, but JFR / DSR and Kallitta is pushing it, no?

 

[Dragracer]

Is Grubby or Kloeber going to be running the car at Pomona this weekend?

 

[donwilshe]

Looks Like Tony Schmacher could use help at 4% win, so wont be surprised if Dave G went for him

Yes.

 

[NITRO JUNKIE]

There is a lot of good crew chiefs out there right now I think grubby is going to JFR. We cant forget about Jim O or Brooks.

 

[Toejam]

Maybe Grubby’s price went up?

Bingo!!!

Probably a Huge Salary increase

 

[fatcat]

As soon as I saw he was leaving the team I knew he was going to big DOLLAR position. The only one that makes sense is Kalitta, Connie wants Doug to be a World Champ.
