Never would have seen that coming. Not too sure about Billy Wilburn being the new crew chief. I thought it might have been Peter Sospenzo. As I said earlier - just no big names available.

Guess that answers my question about if he stays or goes. Also not sure about Wilburn but Rusty and Roger must see something we don't. I figures the Jeff Thousand would have gotten it before Wilburn.

Is he going to continue to change tires as well??

I guess Wilburn's racing is over now.

Wilburn can probably fit in the WoO races he usually does... Probably will get more publicity now that he is the crew chief for the #2

I've been totally out-of-the-loop for about a week now. I had no idea that this stuff went down. Guess that's what I get when I gotta go to these damn drunk driving classes three times a week. Got no time to read the news, let alone drink.

For the sake of competition - and for JPoor's sake - I sure hope that this move kick starts something. However, keep this in mind, Jeff Gordon went through something similar after Evernham bolted, and it took almost a year to regain winning form. So if Crusty sucks the first half of next season, keep pulling. They should get the ship righted pretty soon.

Cooper is pulling for Rusty? Damn! I must be drunk!!

I must reread the message Cooper wrote. Hey Coop, I'll take that beer now. Santa is going to be really good to you this year.....................We lost alot drivers........doesn't matter if you like them or not, they are human................just like you. I knew you had a soft side...........................Merry Christmas....................& why in the world & how did you ever get stuck with the name Cooper the Drunk? Oh what the Hell.....................you only go around once in life enjoy it & give people hell. I was wondering what happen to you, you usually post alot........................you must be a busy man.

did i just hear coop pulling for rusty!...sh!t what are u drinking cooper!......miller lite!!!

-F$&k no, I ain't pulling for Crusty.
-Yeah, I'm busy, but only because I'm a shithead. I waste all my time on Carolina games, NASCAR races, drinking beer, and - oh yeah - work.
-Yeah, I got a soft side. But that's only reserved for three things: (1)my niece and nephew (2)beer (3)JPoor

OK, gotta go, leave me alone. Hope your Christmas Tree falls over and catches fire.

Gordon's the Champ.

Later.

I tried..........................well I hope my tree doesn't fall over.................I don't want my house to burn down. Don't be so mean Cooper..........................it's not your nature..........................I think.
