Very interesting. Silly season starts early. RWR is seeing some big changes. I wonder how Tony feels about Neal’s pedal device.

I wonder how Tony feels about Neal’s pedal device.

I think when you are going from a car 13th in points to 3rd, it could have unicorn horns on the front wing, 6 parachutes and run on tomato juice and be pretty happy no matter what.

I just hope RWR can fill the seat in the 2nd car, I'd hate to lose a full time car out there.

I am sure Tony is taking his sponsor with him. RWR would have to find new funding for the 2nd car....

Did not see that coming….especially Leah stepping away.

Yes, overall this is not a good thing because as has been noted, we are losing another full-time T/F team.

Not to be to personal about, but Iwonder if she's pregnant again. Either way, hate to see her step away and hope she's happy.

So is Tony staying with RWR the rest of the year with Todd Okuhara tuning?

Who didn't see Tony moving some where? He likes to win not be an also ran. Wishing Leah and Smoke all the best on growing their family, Dom needs a younger sibling

That's why I said I "hope RWR can fill the seat". Filling it with a driver is easy. Filling it with a funded driver, is not.

Is Leah done for the year ?? or is she finishing the year ?? I'd hate for her to be pregnant and driving that beast.

This probably some what answers What is going on with Clay too............

 

[ResidentEvilRock]

Wow! Did NOT have this on my radar!

 

[ironpony]

So I do not know if I missed something but I still find it weird Stewart drives for a competitors team. Imagine if Stewart was to win the championship with Elite beating his own team. Strange.

that would be something if jim-o ends up as CC with tony @ TSR

 

[z28]

that would be something if jim-o ends up as CC with tony @ TSR

I'm guessing he will inherit Leah's team. Okuhara may be just finishing 26 for him at RWR.

Unless Ida can bring sponsorship

have a feeling there was more than one team salivating when rumors of tony and his ACC money were
shopping? was probably not too hard for leah to give up her seat for a big pile of money.
if i had a dollar for every 'MULTI-YEAR AGREEMENT' i read about in this sport

Not to quibble but....... A unicorn only has one horn.
