Not much chance in this case, as far as I was concerned. Tim Wolfrum's always been a good source of things going on at HAR and has never been one come to the board with things that turned out not to be true. Again, this one turned out right on the money, as well. As far as it being a different way of doing things, they're in a different situation, this week. They're five or six hundred miles away from home, looking to make a driver change in the middle of a series of races. As they say, desperate times call for desperate measures.

I don't see what the big to do is about this. Drivers have been getting fired from rides for ever. You have to produce in todays environment or your out. Remember, 2nd place is just the first loser. That being said, I was always told that if you do not flip a few times a year, then you are just not driving hard enough. Best of luck to the MDC.

I think Josh Spencer would be a good fit for the two shows mentioned.

Remember.....this is the same team that has employed Rich Vogler, Cary Faas, and Mark Casella. All previously known to tear up cars and drive extremely aggressive. When they hired Clayton my first thought was I hope they try a standard Maxim/DRC like he's use to or this might not last long. I guess we'll find out tonight if Larson can make it work. My adrenaline started flowing big time as soon as my eyes opened early this morning. Oskaloosa is the best track in the country for non-wing sprints in my opinion.

You know if Daron found a ride for the Oskaloosa race tonight?

Why is everyone pouncing on HAR? They weren't getting the results they wanted with Jerry so they made a change. They gave Daron a shot because they had success right out of the gate previously. It obviously wasn't working so why continue doing it? If the cew chief isn't comfortable setting up a car other than the one they run, why would he get a car he can't set up? Easiest change to make when the crew chief owns the car is the driver.

Cactus Jack, huh. This could be an interesting combination. Hope it works out for both.

Straight off Hoffman's website:
Kyle larson will be making his Hoffman racing debut at Oskaloose, IA

A decision has been made to put Kyle Larson in the "MEAN GREEN MOPAR MACHINE" for Tuesday nights race at Oskaloose, IA.. Making a driver change is not the most pleasant part of racing on any level. However it is a part of racing and should never be a reflection on a driver or team. We wish Daron the best in his future racing endeavors. Find more on Kyle Larson at this link: http://www.kylelarsonracing.com/bio.htm

I'm not talking about the Kyle Larson part.....I'm talking about advertising for a driver for the other two nights.....I would think the Hoffmanns have enough driver numbers in their little black book to come up with somebody w/o having to solicit one on this web-site forum...
