So most of y'all are on my FB and saw that I was at LVMS today for the sprint race. If any of y'all have been to a race y'all know about the fanvision and r.e scanners to listen to the drivers. Well folks I gotta say jr is quiet when he is driving but man today he was PISSED!!! Lol. I have never heard him cuss out his crew chief before and it was entertaining. So back to the subject at after jr took the lead for 2 laps he pits for 2 tires by his crew chiefs advice. Well after this he was told don't leave until I say enough time rolls by after the tire change that he had to wait they could have given him fuel but nope he gets nothing. So comes to the end where he is told he needs to make up 5 laps well jr does and leads the rest of the race until BOOM! Jr runs out of fuel allowing keslowski to get a chase spot and jr takes second. Let's just say I think someone maybe losing their job because of this or if he screws up again.

Big time and the bad part is LVMS is only a 1 1/2 mile track

Geez!
That does suck.
Isn't refueling a standard in most cases when it comes to tire changes?
You would think huh

Lol I didn't mean it like that, I won tickets to the race in Fontana thanks to him. But I'd be stoked to no end if he won the championship don't get me wrong.

Last I heard him and his crew chief were already parting ways at the end of the season.

exactly!
Plus, don't you want to win points so you can be the overall winner.
Just saying.
Though he placed second, I would rather take first and get the extra points

I think he finally moved on from his fathers passing when childress brought back the 3 car. He's allot more aggressive now like he was when he first started racing.
