Why Addington and not Zippy? How many wins does
the 18 have vs. the 20?

Umm, because KyB didn't make the Chase and JL is a rookie?

Addington was a god last year, and his driver has 4 wins
and 9 top-5s this year. Sliced-bread's only win was a gift
and he has just 2 top-5s. Even Sam Hornish has 2 top5s.
Let's face it, all the toys had an off year, and it won't
be fixed by axing Addington.

Again, *rookie*, and that "gift" was because Zippy made a great
decision. The 20 has done just fine up until this year with TS behind
the wheel. I have NO clue why you even brought Zippy into this, he has
nothing to do with the topic.

Don't be so sensitive, Zippy is a great CC. But, up
until 6 weeks ago, Addington was considered a great
CC too.

The 11 car has an avg. finish of 13.4, and even though
it is in the chase, it hasn't been a threat for the
title. The 18 has an avg. finish of 15.8 and almost
made the chase (~15 pts). The 20 had an avg. finish
of 20.4. So, I don't see a strong case for axing SA.
All the toys have been struggling. I don't understand
why JGR was so quick to throw SA under the bus.

I wonder if any reporter has bought up Kyle's comments after Junior's CC
change to him yet.

Perhaps there are behind the scenes differences between Addington
and Busch that we're not aware of, and they have decided the adult
way to resolve that is to not be on the same team.

Very possible. If it was an adult decision, Kyle wasn't involved!!!
