They need to overhaul the whole NASCAR deal. They haven't done much after spending a lot of money. They don't even have a regular full time sponsor for a world class driver like Dario. I know the Cipster has been peed as of late and he should be. But this is the team he assembled and has to fess up. I agree with Erin. They need to overhaul the whole NASCAR deal.

The teams performance has been terrible this year. It's the team it's not the driver or the crew chief. It's equipment. I think CGR is in deep. The teams performance has been terrible this year.

His dad was/is one of the premier engine-builders in Cup and helped put Sr. on the map when it came to restrictor plate engines; DEI history speaks for itself in that department. No, Jimmy won't have any difficulties finding work, whether at DEI, JR Motorsports, or anyplace else. I wouldn't look for JPM to start improving his race finishes anytime soon and while there might be something to be said about a certain number of crew chiefs and their influence on their drivers/teams, I've always known Jimmy to be very solid, whether with Bobby, Reed, Hut or even the "world's greatest gift to NASCAR," JPM. I'm very certain he'll land on his feet his talents won't go unnoticed. rrtscb I knew Jimmy when he was just a kid running around Shasta Speedway and he had a HUGE thirst for knowledge and was always interested in lending a helping hand, even on my old street stock.
