Quote selected text Published September 8th, 2007 in NASCAR News
Joe Gibbs Racing, which will move from Chevrolet to Toyota next season, will not be allowed in any Chevrolet meetings the rest of this year that focus on 2008, according to a General Motors executive.
“They’re absolutely partners and professional,” Dewar said Friday. “We’re going to do everything we can to help them win races here. We’ve got two of the Gibbs drivers in the Chase.
“We talked about setting up the firewalls. They’re not going to be part of any of the ‘08 discussions.”
“We worked really hard to keep all four of our teams together,” Dewar said. “There have been a couple of issues they’ve had with us, and one was, ‘Are they the lead?’ …
- Gibbs first choice: Stay with Chevy
- Vickers not allowed in Hendrick team meetings
- Vickers says Busch better be ready to be shut out by Hendrick
- Gibbs announcement on SPEED tomorrow morning
- Gibbs didn’t have a sure deal for Almirola
What a surprise.
Yeah really… They’re not going to be with Chevy in ‘08 so why would they let JGR participate in the planning meetings for ‘08?
No loss for Gibbs. Next year, GM races the new motor introduced this year and the COT car…….nothing exciting there.
Sour grapes. “Oh yeah?? Well, we’re going to take our ball and go home…”
‘Play nice now children…’
Okay, so JGR shouldn’t be included in the ‘08 meetings. GM should at least HELP JGR since 2 of the drivers are in the chase. Sounds like Chevy is pissed off that they are losing their precious money makers, Tony and Denny..and now Ky Busch.
Well PSSHTTT! Chevy can, like you said Marty, ‘take their ball and go home’.
NASCAR IS GETTING STUPID . I DONT KNOW WHO WILL BE DRIVING WHAT NEXT YEAR AND ALL THESE DUMB RULES. NOWONDER YOU LOOSING RATINGS ON ESPN
JGR has bet on the wrong horse as usual
