Hoping a Todd O announcement is next

Some thoughts, Upgrade for Clay. Will they go back to open cockpit in 2027? RWR will have a 2nd car with no driver, sponsor in 2027. Interesting that Shawn Reed was hanging with Rick Ware at the Nascar race. Where will Jim O, John O , Nicky B end up? Silly season begins early

So why would someone change crew chiefs mid season?

I guess there’s a lot of value in

A. I can’t pay you that big $$ you’re asking for the rest of the season, or
B. I wanna make a change for the rest of the season because….
C. I can get somebody just as good as you for less money.
D. You have poor personal hygiene and I can’t stand working with you.

Any of the above can be true. Which one is Shawn Reed’s reason?

What about RWR?

Will be interesting to see how Tony Stewart and Tony Schumacher interact next year. Very interesting.

Shawn Reed knows he won't run many races next years and Rick Ware is looking to replace his guys. Releases Rob so he can move on. Shawn Reed and Rick Ware were together at a Nascar race recently.
