Steve Kinser wasn't given a fair opportunity in NASCAR. One, he went straight from the sprint cars to cup. Secondly, despite that obvious lack of seat time, he was only given 7 races before being fired by Kenny Bernstein at North Wilkesboro in April of his first season. It was a raw deal.

Thats not a JJ issue.

I still wonder if he got fired or if he just quit. These kind of things would drive a racer crazy IMHO.

According to Robin Miller and Dave Despain on "Windtunnel" a few weeks ago, Yeley was fired by Hall of Fame racing via a text messege. Not to be too judgemental but...what the hell is that all about? :thumbsdown:

I think J.J. will come back to sprint car racing and whip some butt!! Glad to see he is done driving that Toyota junk anyways!!:checkered:

Well, that's partially true, I guess. I was watching NASCAR Now a few weeks ago because J.J. was due to call in. He said that Hall of Fame Racing sent him a text to come to the shop. Once there, they told him that they were going in a different direction. I'm a huge Yeley fan, but I'm still not sure that this won't turn out to be a good thing for him. :thumb

David.

this was on nascar.com also. pretty crappy of a team to fire someone via a text message.

Bernstein's team was going belly up and putting Steve in the car was a last ditch effort to make a miracle. The car was not on a par with the better part of the Nascar field. It was good of Quaker State to step up to the plate and support Steve's return to sprint cars.

Thanks for the clarification Shawn. Yet another Robin Miller "scoop". LOL
Hope Yeley lands somewhere. Definately the only reason I remotely follow NASCAR.
David.

No problem, David. It's still kind of shady to involve a text message in the situation, at all. However, I just figured I'd throw that info out there, since I heard it from Mr. Yeley himself!

It's pretty much J.J. and Bryan that have kept me somewhat interested in NASCAR, too. So, needless to say, I haven't been following NASCAR much lately. :checkered:

[ossuks]

Lets just hope he doesn"t end his season in the "jacked-up-wagon"!
