Toyota and Richard Childress, who is part of the joint venture which currently supplies Chevrolet engines to Earnhardt Ganassi Racing, gave co-team owner Chip Ganassi an ultimatum for a decision on manufacturers next year. Following several early morning meetings at Texas Motor Speedway, EGR opted to stay with Chevrolet.
Ganassi spoke with General Motors Racing manager Mark Kent in a closed-door meeting inside the #1 team’s transporter Sunday morning at Texas Motor Speedway and Alba Colon, GM Racing’s Chevrolet program manager, camped out in front of the hauler for part of the morning. He also met with Toyota senior manager Andy Graves before making his decision. When asked for a comment after his meetings, Ganassi said “It’s nobody’s business.”
Wow the sites back updating… nice.
I figured EGR wouldn’t go to Toyota after Toyota basically gave Chipper a big F you as far as factory support for his Rolex series teams.
Who really cares? They will not be a factor next year!
