if he used his last provisional already.. that seems like a sign of things to come! Put somebody in the car Tony that knows how to drive it... don't try buying yourself a championship!

You can only go off of what he's doing now not what he did a few years ago. Right now he's ripping up a lot of equipment.

They said on the broadcast it was his last provisional until at least July, if I heard correctly.

quit jerking around and put TK in the car, like he should have been in the first place. To be fair, though, the last 3 drivers (KK, Paul McMahan and Lasoski) have struggled in the car and the one common denominator has been Carr. Maybe it's time for a new crew chief.

The only difference with TK would be that he would be destroying stuff while leading. 
I can't imagine how hard it is on the road with the outlaws, I guess time will tell.

I like Kraig, and I think he will end up being just fine if given the chance, but at some point will Tony pull the plug? He has been through a ton of equipment already this year and has absolutely nothing to show for it.
I think TK would have been the best choice for the #20 at the beginning of the season and it would have been very exciting to see him in Top Calibur equipment again. When he ran for Steve Kinser, he won what? 14 or 15 races that year?
I don't want Kraig to lose his ride mid-season, but if he does it will be interesting to see if Tony turns to TK or not.

WHAT! TK has raced 20 times this year and has had one wreck which was a fluke one at that.......hitting a tire on the inside of the track while leading and if you see the video it looks to me that the tire was a little further out then it should have been. Heck why would he want that ride anyway. He get's to race whenever and wherever he wants too and he can go out and have fun as he's stated earlier this year at numerous races. Let's see what happens after 20 or so races for K.Kinser.
Trophy Cup......Best race of the year hands down!

Here's a suggestion:
Put Donny in the 20, if they still have horrible results, maybe it's NOT the driver....or the lat 3 drivers for that matter!!
Naah, I wouldn't wish that on Donny.
As for you TK fans, why would you wish that on him? If 3 straight drivers can't do anything in a car, why would you think that he or anyone else could??
I am lucky enough to work at one of the best tracks
anywhere.

I think what's hurting Kraig is lack of seat time. Remember he has only raced Sprint Cars a handful of times since returning from the Truck series, and when you line up with the WoO you have to go all out all the time.
I don't understand why TSR doesn't let him run a few non-WoO shows just to get his rhythym back.
Just my 2 cents.

My question is how long and how many drivers will tony go through before maybe getting a new crew chief?

my guess = at least 1 more
Lincoln 1845 ft/.35 mile T1=118MPH
Eldora 2287 ft/.43mile T3=135MPH
Port 2716 ft/.51 mile T3=TBD
Grove 2792 ft/.53 mile T3=135MPH
Selinsgrove 2847 ft/.54 mile T1=136MPH

Maybe they should swap crew chiefs between the 15 and 20 to see if the problem is the driver or the crew chief.

2004--13 wins including the Knoxville Nationals
2005--11 wins
2005 was a down year for Dude in that car, but they still managed to win more that year than the 20 car has collectively since he was canned.
