" You know we've got these three of four maybe not teams. That are trying to win a championship. We've got the top twelve guys in the course there ago. Is to be in the top team and yet they made the chase there in the top -- but to be in the top team because we go to Las Vegas and low Vermont. For the NASCAR awards banquet. Only the top -- knowledge not the top twenty also when you look actor Carl Edwards Brian Vickers Kasey Kahne. They got to fight to actually be in the top team and to be acknowledged on the stage at Las Vegas we go they're the first week -- December. But the agenda of most other teams in even some of these teams is with four races ago. You know if you've got problems you need to work on more than likely you're not gonna fix them. Sit at the shop for two were two and a half months before the 2000 in season starts so we're start to see an outbreak of teams making changes. With the union organization here we're just four races ago. Starting -- this week. At Talladega Richard Childress racing. More crew Chiefs walk into 10 they have now moved Scott Miller it was announced back in September Scott Miller of the crew chief for Jeff Burton 31 team. He will now be competition director for all four of the Richard Childress things starting this week in Talladega. They have now moved Snyder. Who was the crew chief for the 07 car with Casey mears they have now moved him to Jeff Burton in the 31 team. This is actually the third Childress team that tiger has been crew chief Ford 2000 and because he started the season off. Actually with Kevin Harvick in between nineteen. In the they -- Doug Randolph from their nation months your program. He will be crew chief for Casey mears the Final Four races. Of 2000 out of course the big question with the 07 Casey mears theme with the sponsorship going away. Will that even be a race team. In 2000 team it so a lot of shelf and over there is they continue to to try to win a race in 2009 remember Richard Childress racing has not. One race in 2000. But getting things ready for 2002 Ian and I think the big story just this week. Is announce the adding it is being pool office crew chief for Kyle Busch net eighteen team. And now Dave Rogers who comes from the twenty Nationwide Series team of Joe Gibbs racing has won a tremendous amount of races actually won. The owners championship last year in 2008 was terrible Roberts. He will now be the crew chief for Kyle -- that eighteen team. For the rest of the year and who knows maybe possibly for 2000 Ian and I think to what's good about this there's no question. Cops is an exceptional talent but I think it takes that -- personality to deal with Kyle Busch. Dave Rogers has a history with -- working with him in the Nationwide Series so I think that's a good -- if they indeed felt like. I changed needed to be made over there in just just goes to show you how how the pressure to perform. Is in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racing Steve acting Kyle Busch's eighteen thing. They have won twelve races. In the last two years that's. This year they've won four and we think about twelve races that second only to the 48 team Jimmie Johnson in check and -- But I think Joe Gibbs and -- idiots who obviously have a great read on people. They just felt like even though that team. He missed the chase they've won four races actually just finished fourth this past weekend in Martinsville. That things -- just not clicking over there was speaking with power so they have now decided to make a change as the VATICAN will still be in the years. Operation you get a failing with David Dillon run -- Joe Gibbs car to of these last four races you'll run it Texas and homestead. That possibly Steve local there were put Wally Brown and I think it's inevitable sponsorship pending that eventually not 2002 in. But eventually Joe Gibbs racing will go to fourteen. And there would be the perfect home for Steve Manning and Steve adding them is a great crew chief he's proved that the last two years. With Kyle Busch with the races they've won the performance they had but for whatever reason those two guys they just got off the song plays together. Joe and JD Gibbs decide you know what let's see if we can make things better. Not in 2000 -- but here before 2000 Indians in here's an interesting twist. Remember it was announced that Richard Petty motorsports. -- Yates racing -- working on a merger hoping it's completely different issue yet but there -- you know more merger for 2000 team in. And that they will on imports just like to Roush Fenway camp. So to get things kind of jumpstart that merger and make in the migration before. Elliott Sadler in nineteen team. They will feel before this week at Talladega super speedway in fact it's a Roush Fenway Ford. That was prepared in the Roush Fenway shops it's my understanding all they will do you. Richard Petty motorsports before heading to Talladega is put -- the car indeed count the car routes Finley did everything as far as preparation. In even that set -- of that car now Elliott will be back in -- dodge for the final three races but. AJ on -- the 44 group they will actually race say for the final three races Texas Phoenix and homestead so. This is not necessary to your crew chief change. But here and operations trying to get a jump start is they make the migration from -- forward for 2000 -- The problem we have with no testing that NASCAR allows these things for the most. If you don't fix them rectify on or try something different before the end of 2000. I promise she. You're not gonna have a riot when you get to Daytona in 2002 Ian and I think we'll still continue to follow the path tries -- story because I think it's Kirk Busch. Who sits sixth in the points didn't have a very good week in March building while I will -- race very -- That -- even told us on our trackside show on speed a few weeks ago that once they -- I cannot think Talladega could be the telltale signs. Once they feel like they're out of the championship. Or that possibly they make going to let pat tries to move on to Michael Waltrip racing we're going to be in 2000 -- and they possibly neighboring. -- Pat tries his replacement for Kirk. In the work these last few races. -- about the yes would be ironic if Steve Arrington. Becomes Kurt Busch's crew chief. That way he's been crew chief for both the Busch Brothers -- promise you they'll still be a whole lot more to come. And Larry Mac and try to keep -- up to speed as much as possible now will they went in next week. I'm gonna be out -- of the entire week. And I'll be back. -- promise we'll have a lot to talk about from Talladega from taxes and getting ready for the final two races is we try to see who this 2009 champion will be in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
