If Robbie Reiser is going back to his old job why wouldn't he reunite with Matt?

May be...

To get back on the Pit Box Robby Is probably Glad to be with any of the Roush Drivers. It is hard to figure out though why he wouldnt go Back to the #17 Team!!!!!

That doesn't surprise me but did you notice that they said they were working on contract extension with Biffle,Edwards,and Ragan. I am sure Kenseth isn't going anywhere but it's not looking good for Jamie !

The cat in the hat has his own ideas, & he's right often enough that you have to take him seriously. That's the prerogative of ownership..

don't know if it plays but Jack mentioned earlier that if Robbie was to think this way he would be told no room at the inn, since then he apparently is changing his thinking and will place him where needs be, but personally he is better with Matt, I too think the 26 is about done, its mentioned that negotiations are underway for the 16, 99 and 6, Matt's not up till 2010 so seems like the 26 either is not up or is not returning

It's been reported at jayski that Robbie Reiser will go back to doing what he loves most, being a crew chief. This in and of itself does not surprise me all that much but I figured he would go back to the 17 team and his racing buddy from Wisconsin, Matt Kenseth. He said that filling in for Bob Osbourne made him realize how much he missed "being in the trenches" for races. Robbie said he has never had as good of communication with a driver as he does with Carl Edwards. The 99 team had it's best run this last week at Martinsville, arguably Carl's least favorite track. Carl said that with Robbie's guidance he has a good chance to win a championship, despite where they are currently in the points standings. If not for the fuel situation he might have contended for his 3rd win this season. Bob Osbourne is said to be going to the struggling 26 team and Larry Carter will be head of Roush/Fenway's driver development program. Jack seems to change crew chiefs as much as he does his hats.

It makes sense either way. If they both know that he's better suited as crew chief, why not? As far as returning to the #17... Well, Kenseth will be good with anyone, McMurray won't, so they should pair him up with a winning crew chief.

Roush changes things up quit a bit and he's been a winning owner for years, so I'm sure he'll know better than me or you! Haha...

Sorry,Ford fans Report It

I'm a huge fan of Kenseth. I'd be surprised if Reiser got a crew chief job after listening to a Jack Roush interview several weeks ago. As a Kenseth fan, I'd rather see him take his chances with a new man on the box. He and Reiser had lots of success but they werent quite able to take that next step. They had kind of plateaued over the past few seasons. The risk of course is they go downhill but hopefully Matt will be more competitive and win more races with the change.

Who knows? Perhaps the cat in the hat feels that the 99 is their best shot at the title this season. The 99 has had a pretty good season so far (minues the penalty, but it's early). If Reiser can really improve on that maybe they will really be a contender. It would seem to make more sense to put him back with the 17, but Kenseth is just a better racecar driver than Edwards. He'll adapt.

I'd rather see Robbie with Matt, but maybe they are looking at how well Carl has been doing and they think Carl is the guy to win the championship even with 100 pts lost.. I'd rather see Matt with the Championship.. But yeah it doesn't look good for McMurray, I hope his yrs turns around for the best, I think theres more potential for McMurray than Wreck'um Ragan.. If Robbie goes to any team on Roush put him with McMurray maybe that can spark him.. Yeah Jack sure can play musical crew chief's thats for sure.. Talk about crazy season so far, and its a long way till Homestead..
