Seeing Tony and Ryan up there reminds me they have Darien Grubb and Tony Gibson as crew chiefs. One from Hendrick one from DEI.
To some degree, Stewart-Haas Racing are the 5th and 6th Hendrick cars.
Now they’re talking to the open-wheel crossovers. I just can’t help feeling some of them came over because they can make more money as a backmarker in NASCAR than they could as an F1 backmarker or USAC winner. I still remember reading that A.J. Allmendinger made more money driving for Red Bull in ‘07 even with missing half the races than Sebastien Bourdais did winning the championship in Champ Car.
