Thats what I was thinking. He keeps changing the crew chiefs around so much. I wish Biffle would go to another team. I like him and I think he's a good driver. But if Rousch is going to really concentrate on anybody running good, it's gonna be Matt and Carl.

You're right about Jack thinking his future is with Matt and Carl, but what about those other drivers Ragan and McMurray? Doesn't Jack think the world of them?

I think Jamie has improved. And I don't know what to say about 2 wreck minimum (Ragan),except, what in the world was Rousch thinking?

Jack was trying something that seemed good on paper, but in real life doesn't work: making all the teams even .. a level playing field. trouble is, putting a lesser crew chief with a better driver doesn't help the team, nor visa-versa - then there's that old problem of "compatibility".... I think Matt has told Jack he's walking if he messes with his team so he's keeping his hands off the 17.

He should learn from that too, Matt is the only one that is pretty much always consistent. The others will run good sometimes, but Matt just seems to be close to the front at the end almost every time.

If Jack ever messed with the Kenseth/Reiser combination, I honestly believe the more militant Kenseth fans could hunt down Jack, beat him severely about the head and shoulders and give him a "hat enema." Any reasonable judge who was a race fan would find said attackers innocent by reason of self defense.

I've noticed that also. Lets see what happens this week at Infineon, since he starts on the pole. OBTW Jamie goes into this race in 13th just 62 out of 12th. Carl 6th, Ragan 26th 356 out of 12th and 209 from 35th, Greg 20th 230 out of 12th and 335 from 35th, and Matt 4th. Hey just thought about this. Could it be possible that Jack hired Ragan just for the final years he can keep his 5 car team? Maybe the 6 will become a part-time team, or be given to Robby Gordon!!!
