No April Fool?

[indidad- The Guy- Uncle Steve]

I was just informed that Tim & Kim are gone from DSR. Not sure if Capps DNQ has anything to do with it. Anyone know it to be true or am I just being April fooled?

I would not think Don would make a jump this soon in the season.

Schumacher plans to announce new crew chief next week for
NAPA AUTO PARTS Funny Car driven by Ron Capps



LAS VEGAS (April 1, 2012) - Don Schumacher expects to announce next week the new crew chief for the NAPA AUTO PARTS Funny Car driven by Ron Capps after Tim Richards resigned from the position on Saturday night.



The NAPA AUTO PARTS Dodge Charger R/T failed to qualify for Sunday's championship elimination rounds of the SummitRacing.com NHRA Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Richards took the position after four of 22 national events last season and tuned Capps to national event wins at Sonoma, Calif. and the fall Las Vegas race.



"I understand the complexity of our race cars and how challenging our sport can be," Schumacher said.



"But when something occurs like what happened to our NAPA AUTO PARTS team at Las Vegas, what is paramount is that we work immediately to find the problem and correct it. We owe that effort to NAPA AUTO PARTS and other associate sponsors on the car."



"I have tremendous respect for Tim and appreciate what he did last year to help Ron win two NHRA titles. I wish Tim the best. The commitment to our marketing partners is we will do whatever is within our power to win and compete on a championship level."

Hmmm, is it time for Austin Coil to return to fuel tuning?

I'm guessing the 'thing that happened this weekend' was Capps' DNQ. That's not tolerated well in Camp Schumacher. And once, just once, I wish the parties involved would spell out the real reason for the parting of ways, instead of carrying on about all the comraderie, love, respect and well-wishes they have for one another.

I understand completely why they won't, and can't. I'd still like to hear it, just once.

Probably alot of pressure they just don;t need at this point in their lives. I was surprised they came back to the madness.

As it was once said in the chatroom for The Preseason Nitro Blast in PBIR, "NNNN-NAPA NO GO"
