Grumpy Gone?
I heard a rumor last night that Grumpy has been dis-charged from his duties as the engine builder for Dave Connelly.
I have been unable to confirm this and was wondering if anyone else knew any of the facts. Dave could not even qualify for the event in Memphis.

Fuzzy and I were discussing the possibility of a Greg, Jason and Dave team. They would own the tracks.

I used to think that too but have changed my mind. He's so far off what the top guys are running that I think it has to be more than setup. I know if it was my money running the team I wouldn't tolerate this kind of performance. Heads would be rolling.

I give the Grump all the respect in the world for his past accomplishments...I have to agree with Special K here, though...I just can't see it being a clutch, chassis or driver issue...I honestly hope it is not the motors because I don't believe they can overcome that problem this year...
