What do you make of Tony Eury Jr being released as Danica Patrick’s NASCAR Nationwide Series crew chief and being bought out of JR Motorsports?

Bob Pockrass has what is probably the definitive story on the changes at JRM. Here is a quote from Pockrass’ article at SportingNews.com

“It has been difficult to see these changes and it was not easy at all to sever the working relationship with Pops (Eury Sr.) or Tony Jr., but we’re a company that wants to improve over what we’ve been doing and we’re making some changes to see if we can make that happen,” Earnhardt said.

We talked about this On Pit Row this week. Here’s the highlight with video.

Hey NASCAR Nation what would happen if Danica Patrick won the 2012 Daytona 500?

I can think of a number of things. But one, for sure result would be that the value of Danica Patrick memorabilia would go through the roof.

You need some Danica gear before the price goes up, as a collector inflation hedge. We can help.

On Pit Row is offering a Danica Patrick Prize Pack, thanks to the folks at Tissot.

Swiss luxury wristwatch brand, Tissot has a long history of sponsorship in motorsports. Danica is one of the most marketed drivers in racing and Patrick’s latest timepiece for the brand, the Limited Edition Ladies White Quartz Classic Watch ($895), can be found here.

One lucky On Pit Row reader will win an autographed Danica Patrick Photo, a JR Motorsports Crew Shirt and a miniature diecast race car.

Here’s how to enter:

Send an email with your name and mailing address to TissotOnPitRow@gmail.com
For additional entries, follow OnPitRow – @OnPitRow on twitter or Like On Pit Row on Facebook.
A winner will be chosen at random on Tuesday March 13, live On Pit Row
*By entering this contest you will opt in to Tissot’s weekly newsletter

Danica Patrick is a helluva driver. She’s also a marketing person’s dream. Funny too. Now she’s officially a ten. No more argument.

NASCAR Sharkfin Soup from Thunder Valley

by Charlie Turner

The consensus of NASCAR opinion about Bristol Motor Speedway was that things – meaning the racing – could go one of two ways; Assorted coin flips included:

Old School Bristol or crap
Good Bristol – which is the same as Old School Bristol – or crap.
Exciting, wreck-filled, 21 caution Bristol, or crap.

What we got was one hell of a good Sprint Cup race and terrific, sometimes three-wide racing. Kyle Busch won everything in sight, and has owned Thunder Valley since this time last year at Bristol, so I’m thinking The Shrub likes The New Bristol just fine.

The haters are losing the argument.

Fins Stoutly Standing

Kyle Busch has won the last five NASCAR touring series races held at Bristol. The Jeff Byrd 500 was had some epic moments with Kyle, Carl Edwards and Jimmie Johnson.

Carl Edwards had the second best weekend, and not by much.

Paul Menard is in the top ten in NASCAR Sprint Cup points – 5th in the race and 5th in the standings, best of the RCR cars – and it does not look like a fluke.

Kurt Busch leads the Cup standings with another consistent, competitive finish.

Bristol Motor Speedway; the track races great. Get over it.
