Looks like it finally happened Tony Eury Jr. is out of the long time crew chief position for his cousin, Dale Earnhardt Jr. The announcement today Rick Hendrick said "Our performance hasn't been where it should be, It's impossible to pin that on any one factor, but a change is the right decision at this point. We have a plan in place, and we're going to move forward with it."
Taking over the reigns for Jr. will be team manager Brian Whitesell this weekend. Lance McGrew will take over next week on an interim basis as team owner Rick Hendrick figures out a long-term plan for NASCAR's most popular driver. Hopefully this will get Jr. back on track to the success he has known in the past.
