Smoke's new crew chief

Stewart hires Steve Addington as crew chief - WTOP.com

I understand this was decided BEFORE Tony went on a tear and won 5 chase races and the Cup, but it seems he could have reversed his decision in light of the outcome? There must be some chemistry thing going on behind the scenes. This is going to be one awkward awards ceremony!

Maybe he is going to have him return as Newman's CC :shrug:

Or Kyle's again if he gets in Tony's 3rd car.......

Kyle, then Kurt, and now Smoke. Addington must like verbal abuse.

I haven't followed NASCAR closely enough lately to know if this is an actual rumor or are you just speculating? I just might have to quit Smoke after 13 years if he hires that jacka**!

Stewart Haas Racing is a Hendrick program -- Hendrick fired Kyle Busch. If Kyle loses his ride at Gibbs, he'll never occupy the seat of a top notch ride for the rest of his career. He burned all his bridges.

You're a Nascar moron........They run Hendrick engines and chassis............If Kyle ends up leaving JGR, his next employer will end up a top notch team no matter who it is, like it or not......

If I were Tony, I'd hire him. I can't stand him but the lil effer can drive like a banshee. Stewart/Haas could have 3 cars in the chase at 1, 2 & 3.

Kyle's not going anywhere. Gibbs put up with Stewart, he'll put up with Kyle.

Kurt's the one in danger of losing his ride.

Maybe Kurt might like driving that HomeDepot 20 Car

Kurt Busch fired from Penske Racing - NASCAR - Sporting News

Ahem, not "official" yet according to the article. That's gotta suck though -- he's already seeing a shrink for his head problems. This is gonna be a blow to his dignity, but a well-deserved one IMO.

According to this article, Penske still saying it was "mutual" and he wasn't fired. I had no idea he was getting a divorce. Can't say I'm surprised.

I think the fact that Brad Keselowski was in the same equipment as he was and the fact that Kez was winning a bunch of races pissed Kurt off. Kurt and Kyle can't stand to be second in an organization.

Nevertheless --
