trying to look at the bright side

Ryan is here for one more year.
Which means there is a year for more quality rides to open up.
Mark Martin is gonna run another part time sch. next year but after that I think he is done at MWR & the 55 ride would open up.
Dont think JGR, HMS, Roush or RCR will have seats available. With Penske talking of bringing up Hornish in 2014 dont think they would go four teams so they would be out as well. Pretty much leaves MWR, EGR or a small team. So I kinda hope if they dont make major changes to the 39 team, Ryan finds his way to the 55 car.

If a couple of sponsors step up, Ryan would be ok. I'm not looking forward to another year of things being up in the air like this year. I know how I've felt this year with Ryan kind of being in limbo for so long, so I can't imagine how it's been for him. Besides the fact that sponsor dollars are drying up, he's never been one of the "media darlings" and I think this hurts him as far as sponsors go. I'm also baffled by the fact that SHR and Tony thinks Ryan's team is doing ok. I'm not a rocket scientist, but 17th in points is not ok in my book. When you see other teams changing crew chiefs and pit crews around for drivers in the top 15, how can you possibly not consider changes to Ryan's team? It just boggles my mind.

my only hope is if Ryan misses the chase this weekend. They make a CC change for the final ten races so Ryan can get used to a new CC before next season. & yes I know they arent changing CC's Racer so no need to point it out to me.

Just my wishlist!

Tony Eury Sr is looking for a job. What would you think of that? Would he be willing to CC for Ryan?

I heard that Sr. didnt want to go back to cup awhile back. So I doubt he would but you never know.
I am okay with any changes to the CC position for better or worse because it is already proven this one doesnt work out. (well except for Shiplett, dont want him)
I am all good with taking a risk of a CC change

poor tuna.........

Tony Eury Sr is done. They took him off Whitts car because he wasnt doing that well and the guy is ancient so you guys are really sounding silly and desperate when afterall--Ryan likes his crew and CC--remember? there is an old addage--dont judge untill youve walked a mile in his shoes-- so anyone here ever been a CC for a major Nascar team--dont all answer at once? Had to say it.

but they are allowed to debate it and vocal their displeasure, why are you trying to sniffle that? i never heard ryan say publicly he was happy with his CC, Ryan is a very loyal man, he doesnt air dirty laundry to the media

and by your last comment everything you say about danica from here on out is a bunch of b.s. you dont personally know danica, you dont work on her crew, all you info is from the media or websites just like ours.....

HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! Try taking your own advice and not judge everyone here for having something to say, and keeping the site active, and the way you sound to me ( and im pretty sure im not alone here), sounds like youve been a CC for a major NASCAR team.

and here.......we........go............

Please take a dose of your own advice. Peace, out!

OK--actually I guess you are right as I find myself criticizing Danicas crew now but its tough not to say anything sometimes. The issue here is I watch Danica and her crew more then Ryan and his crew and since he doesnt say anything in the open, Iam not seeing all the problems with Ryans crew that many of you apparently see. I do see Danicas lousy car setups race after race, 18 to 20 second pit stops etc and as Nascar even comments on how bad her car is and showing in car camera at her fighting the wheel so bad race after race. Therefore thats fairly accurate info iam going on, whereby Ryans issues are just what I see from most of you but-- OK--I guess we all complain.

The difference is Danica will say when her car wasnt/isnt good when interviewed and over her radio so at least she says something so the team definately knows it, and thats NOT whinning, its telling them like it is, which as ive said almost all the drivers do at some point.

Point I was once told--If you dont tell me something is wrong --how will I ever know?

Ryan does give feedback....
