JR Motorsports and its competition director of five years, Tony Eury Sr., announced today the decision to amicably part ways, effective Friday.

Eury is a winner of 55 NASCAR races in both the Nationwide and Sprint Cup Series as a crew chief. He has 28 years in the NASCAR industry, the last five of which were served as competition director and crew chief for JR Motorsports. The company has amassed all nine of its victories under Eury’s watch. JR Motorsports’ last victory came on Sept. 4, 2010, with driver Jamie McMurray.

“The conversation Tony Sr. and I had was one of the most difficult I’ve ever been a part of,” said Kelley Earnhardt Miller, general manager of JR Motorsports. “I believe Tony Sr.’s passion for the sport is exceeded only by his yearning to excel in it, and that itself became the issue that both he and I struggled with. At JR Motorsports we do this to win races and compete for championships, and lately we have not met that standard. Being the competitor that Tony Sr. is, I know that bothers him more than anyone.”

In an effort to improve performance, a crew chief swap was implemented in April between Eury Sr. and Bruce Cook. Cook took over of the company’s flagship No. 88 team driven by Cole Whitt, while Eury turned his attention to the partial entry No. 5 team driven by Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Ron Fellows while still serving as competition director. Whitt responded with two top-fives and eight top-10s in 19 races, while the Earnhardt/Fellows duo scored fifth-place finishes in three of its four races.

The No. 5 entry has no more races scheduled in 2012. Eury Sr.’s son, Tony Eury Jr., remains crew chief for JR Motorsports’ No. 7 Chevrolet and co-owner of the company with Earnhardt Jr. and Earnhardt-Miller.

“I want what’s best for Dale Jr., Kelley, Tony Jr., and all those employees. I really do,” said Eury Sr. “We accomplished a lot in a short time, and nobody is prouder of that than I am. I’m not sure what’s next for me, and I’m not sure I’m in a hurry to find out.”

Eury came to JR Motorsports in 2007, compiling seven wins, 48 top-fives and 86 top-10s as crew chief of the No. 88 team. Prior to that he spent 21 years at Dale Earnhardt Inc., where he won two Nationwide Series championships with Earnhardt Jr. in 1998 and 1999.

“I can’t think of anyone who has impacted my career and development as a driver more than Tony Sr.,” Earnhardt Jr. said. “I know my dad ultimately put me in the Nationwide Series car back in the ’90s, but Tony Sr. was the one who convinced him to do it. He was with me through two Nationwide Series championships and five full seasons as a Cup driver. We won a lot of races together, and as much as he impacted my career as a race car driver, he means more to me on a personal level. He’s done a lot for this organization, and I thank him for it.”

EDIT: Also, Kurt Busch in talks with RCR for a 4th car.

When asked whether Almirola would be renewed in 2013, Petty replied, “I think it was a one-year contract.”

Interesting race tonight.

I was really impressed by Darrel Wallace Jr. in the #20 last night in his 3rd Nationwide series start at the age of 18

He made a mistake and got pushed out of the way a few times towards the end, but he showed good car control and was able to get it back into the top 10 before the end of the race.

Tonight's chase clinch senerios

This is likely to be a Sunday day race though due to rain

Kile boosh pls. Jimny spencer crying towel time! :d

There is no way to handle this the right way? What kind of statement is that by Kyle Busch. An angery one obviously, but..

Anyways, Gordon's in and that was one late race. Not a bad race, and it would have been a really good finish had Martin and Gordon been racing for the win, but it was not to be

Onwards to the Chase

Can't really blame him there. Dave Rogers messed him up by not pitting him.

Onto the chase.

@JeffGordonWeb: So as many of u may have heard, I made a statement that if we made the Chase I wud bring back the stache. I'm a man of my word.

I don't understand what you want the guy to say, I'll take Kyle Busch any day over 75% of the other drivers who would just act like they don't care they missed the chase and then thank their fans and sponsors.

Really looking forward to this Jeff Gordon mustache.

Well, yes, I'm glad he was upset about it, but there was a correct way to handle it. He did it. It was just a weird statement.

I didn't find it weird at all, seemed completely normal. Some try way too hard to find something wrong with someone. It's funny how it is normally Kyle who gets looked at under a microscope. If anything it is a compliment. Drivers like Jeff Gordon, Dale Sr, DW, and Rusty all had the same thing throughout their careers.

On air!





Pretty sure that is Harvick in the background.

Didnt know they were that friendly ^^

damn gordon's throttle hung, such bad luck

I'm not even a Brad fan, but trolololol to Jimmie on that one. Tough luck for Jeff once again, even the mustache isn't helping.
