I'm a fan of both of these drivers, but I'm still kind of shocked by this move.

I realize the results haven't shown with Hoffman Racing lately, so I agree that something needed done. However, I'm leaning towards the idea that I'd wished they would have tried different things mechanically. It appears to me that the days of the Twister-style of cars winning are becoming less and less. This goes for Chalk, F5, Twister, GRP, etc. I know a few of those companies make other styles, too. Also, I know that Hoffman Racing tried a new Maxim out last year, but I guess that didn't work out. I was hoping they would have a Maxim, Spike or DRC to tackle the 2011 season, but that wasn't the case, instead going with Chalk. I do feel that Coondog can still get it done on any given night. With all of this being said, it's easy for me to sit here and throw out my thoughts without having my money on the line. I understand that there was a lot that went into making this tough decision and I don't envy them at all.

I respect the Hoffman's, Jerry and Daron, so I wish them all the best in 2011 and beyond.
