Today, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and his boss, Rick Hendrick, announced that Junior's cousin, Tony Eury Jr., would no longer be crew chief of the 88 Amp/National Guard car.
On the one hand, I'm sad--the Juniors have been together almost all of Dale's NASCAR career, but on the other hand, I'm excited. The 88's performance has been so very dismal of late, it's hard not to think that perhaps this is the only way to go.
Overall, I'm sad for Dale Jr.--this picture from today shows that it's not an easy move for him. In typical Junior fashion, he blames himself for the failings.
I'll be tuned in this weekend, watching with curiosity as an interim crew chief sits on the pit box. It will be interesting to see what happens.
