Jeff Gordon fans; who do you want to replace his crew chief?

May be...

  • LeTard's time might be done but I am not sure who you could bring in right now. If Darian Grubb wasn't already going to Stewart/Haas next year he would have been a good candidate. Brian Whitesell is probably their best option at this point and they need to do something because Jeff will not be racing much more than a couple more years.

  • what difference does it make he aint going nowhere
  • No, it is not a problem on Jeff's nor his crew chief end. It is a little thing called luck, which is an element in racing or any sport for that matter. Jeff has had very little of it (luck) this year, while Jimmie Johnson has had a ton. What, has it been 2 chase races now that Jimmie was one lap down and got the lucky dog to win or come in 2nd.

    Your grand-daddy was a smart man..
  • Brian Whitesell. I would keep Poptarte if he would stop making bad calls .
  • What people don't understand, it's not LeTarte, Eury Jr or any of them. It's the piece of crap COT that NASCAR through Brian France came up with, besides safety for the drivers, was supposed to be a cost saving move for the teams. The COT has a flexible frame, the car is difficult to balance. If you watched the Atlanta race, didn't you notice all the cars were squirrely ? When you saw Johnson pass Hamlin on the outside, it nearly wrecked Hamlin. The crew chiefs have nothing to do with this disaster.
    That's another reason why Goodyear is having problems with tires-you cannot stabilize the COT.
  • Ray Evernham
  • I see a lot of #24 fans looking for Letarte's head but I would like to know who they want to replace him.........My grandfather always said, "Don't complain about something unless you have a solution"...Who would be better???

    Jeff made the chase and has 13 top 10's in his last 15 races; that is pretty darn impressive......................
  • No one. Steve Letarte and Gordon work well with each other. Why would it change?

    Just last year they came THIS close to winning a title. That's one heck of a duo if you ask me. I think it's bad luck, personally.

    *Edit* Lenny, Greenbean meant, "He isn't going anywhere".
  • Anyone but Steve Letard
  • LeTarte is a young crew chief and has a lof of potential to be a great crew chief. But he does struggle to make the right adjustments to the race car. I'd take Jeff Meendering back as he did great when Letarte was suspended last year. But who I'd really want to see is Johnson's car chief Ron Malec.
  • poptarte thats a hoot!!!!!!!!!!!
  • I just think they are having a off year.
    They worked well last year. and had all those wins. Just just need to get the right set up on the car. They should do better next year, and if not, replace him then
  • how about smack poptarte upside the head and make him write a thousand times, I will listen to the boss.....
  • I think Gordon and Letarte are a good team;they are just having an off year.People are ready to hang Steve because Jeff hasn't won this season,but Jeff really hasn't had that bad of a season-he has 11 top-5's and 17 top 10's.Remember last year?That was Jeff Gordon's best season of his career(yeah,I know he had more wins in other years,but his overall performance was better) and who can't give credit to steve Letarte for that?
    I really don't think it is fair for people to put all of this on Steve's shoulders-he is a great guy and crew chief.
  • I think he needs ray evernham back.
  • They can have Rodney Childers if they want. Letarte is great and Jeff Gordon fans have no right to complain.
