Normal is not working two jobs same time 30 miles apart and being home now in my own bed. :)
Names are Malec car chief for Knaus who will probably be hanging on to him kicking and screaming and Gustafson, but MM probably won’t let him go. Other subjects names are not said out loud and some don’t want the scrutiny of being Jr’s cc - not because of Jr according to garage scuttlebutt.
If RPM goes belly up Loomis will be available and Evernham will get out of his no competition clause, but probably does not want to cc anymore. I’ve asked him, but he hedges his answers. I asked him once who would he recommend and he said Fennig who was, at the time, not ccing but still working for Roush, but is now back on the box.
He can have Flash’s if Evernham will come back!
Very interesting synopsis, thank you very much. I thought a name was bandied about for K.K.’s crew chief in ‘12 - Gustafson? - or is he bringing Kenny Francis w/him? That would free up Alan for Jr. but that would mean M.M. would have a new C.C. in his last year..not good.
Evernham would be an interesting choice but I’d worry about his desire and commitment. With TV ratings down there might be a few retired C.C. analysts looking for a job..
“Normal” for the majority of folks in these challenging days has fallen between the range of ‘comatose’ and ‘methamphetamine’; its remarkable how we adapt to personal hurdles.
