Wow. MWR with another infraction. Someone on a blog mentioned that they came into the league cheating and they go out the same way.
NO. 41 TEAM MIGHT NEED NEW CREW CHIEF AT LOUDON; GIBSON UNDERGOES SURGERY
Tony Gibson, crew chief for the Stewart-Haas Racing No. 41 Chevrolet driven by championship contender Kurt Busch, could miss part of this weekend’s on-track activity at New Hampshire Motor Speedway as he recovers from an emergency appendectomy.
Gibson, 50, posted Wednesday on Facebook that he returned home Tuesday night and was recuperating after undergoing the procedure.
“Just really sore today,” Gibson wrote after giving thanks for the well-wishes he’d received. “Who needs an appendix anyway????”
A Stewart-Haas Racing representative confirmed that Gibson plans to be in New Hampshire for the second race in the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup as soon as he is able to. The SHR official said that team engineer John Klausmeier would serve as interim crew chief and that Greg Zipadelli, the organization’s vice president of competition, would have “an increased presence with the No. 41 team.”
Gibson joined forces with Busch starting with the last three races of 2014, Busch’s first year with Stewart-Haas. The duo produced two victories in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series’ regular season this year.
Busch opened the Chase last weekend at Chicagoland Speedway with a third-place finish, surrendering the lead to eventual winner Denny Hamlin on the race’s final restart. The result placed Busch fifth in the 16-driver Chase standings.
Yeah, MWR and the Blue Fuel in the Intake Manifold a Daytona was the 1st “Shot ourselves in the foot under the Microscope on the National stage” and things went downhill from there.
Gibson will be there I’m sure [just a “flesh wound, pass the Pain Killers;)”]
Damned crazy stuff going on- I’m thinking that Harvick should have popped 6whine in the jaw. The local radio this AM was talking about 6whine keeping his hands in his pockets and that he would have come out on top of a real fight with Harvick. I guess they don’t know that Harvick was on the High School Wresting Team. I’d put $$$ on Harvick or Delana for that matter over 6whine and I don’t gamble.
