Dump Hyder

Why get rid of Hyder? This is a part-time team. I don’t think Chad Knauss (who was a tire changer for Bill) or Steve Letarte, or Mike Ford (Elliott crewchief) is available right now. We need money. Not a crewchief change. Money!!! And money! And engineers who are provided by MONEY!

I think it’s safe to say that people watch these races and get on here and comment things that are not completely true. This team is a good one. We saw it last year. They will get it back. We ALL back Bill no matter what. I hope he has some good time off the next few weeks, and then we will be ready to light them up at Chicagoland.

You know, I read all of these comments and a lot of you have some good points. Several different times I have started to repsond and then stopped but the truth of the matter is that we don’t even know what is going on. Obviously something, but we have weathered storms before with all of you behind Bill and we will do whatever it takes again.

I’m not a fair weather fan just a realist…. I know that Bill isn’t getting the equipment he needs to be competitive; Bill is the only saving grace that WBR has right now…it sure isn’t Hyder… I also want and expect my favorite driver (Awesome Bill) to run better than 25th or worse and I know if Bill runs 25th or worse I’ll still be rooting for him (not WBR) all the way, because there is only 1 MILLION DOLLAR BILL.

Most of us are not just fair weather fans of Bills… The paint job was cool !: )

I think the very last thing they need is a crew chief change. We all forget so soon how David Hyder came to this team and picked it up out of the trenches at the end of 2008. David Hyder has proven himself to be a great crew chief. The team and Bill are just sorting through some stuff right now. The new spoiler and everything has really thrown this team a curveball, but I can promise you all that they will be right back in contention in the coming weeks

I was just sitting there waiting, waiting, and waiting some more. As all have stated, its not Bill’s driving ability. They need to merge to gather more information. Not sure how good Hyder is either. Seems like the car did not improve throughout the whole race and how do you go a lap down at Michigan. Hopefully something changes soon and that may need to be a crew chief change. Just a little hard to watch, especially when it Michigan

Another disappointing day for all the Bill Elliott Fans out there. Why two tires on the first caution? Why not wait for some track position on four tires then take the gamble and maybe give a little instead of alomost a lap?
