Tony Eury Jr removed as Crew Chief of No. 88: Mired in a 33-race
winless streak and ranked 19th in the Sprint Cup standings after a
season-worst 40th at Lowe's Motor Speedway, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will
have a new crew chief heading into Sunday's race at Dover
International Speedway. Team manager Brian Whitesell will call the
shots in place of Tony Eury Jr. on Earnhardt's No. 88 Chevrolet at
Dover, and Lance McGrew will take over as interim crew chief starting
with the June 7 event at Pocono Raceway. "Our performance hasn't been
where it should be," team owner Rick Hendrick said in a release. "It's
impossible to pin that on any one factor, but a change is the right
decision at this point. We have a plan in place, and we're going to
move forward with it." The team has assigned Whitesell and Rex Stump,
Hendrick's lead chassis engineer to the No. 88 team on a full-time
basis. (USA Today)
