ARENT YA GLAD YOU DONT WORK FOR EARNHARDT/GANASSI

Earnhardt Ganassi Racing has confirmed that Steve Hmiel, Tony Glover and Ed Nathman have been released from the NASCAR Sprint Cup organization.

Hmiel was the competition director for the team while long-time employee Glover was the team manager. Nathman was the lead engineer before John Probst was named technical director earlier this year.

Juan Pablo Montoya and Jamie McMurray drive the organization's entries in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Both drivers were winless in 2011, with Montoya finishing 21st in the standings and McMurray 27th.

Imagine what a few bad days will do for your reputation. Or maybe you have other ideas of this???

Can anyone report on the employment history of Nathan and / or Probst?

I am very familiar with Tony, but do not quickly recognize either of those other gentlemen.

I've always felt Chip was in NASCAR primarily to fund his sporty car and open wheel program, just like how Robby Gordon uses it to fund his off road program. Not hard to come to that conclusion about Chip anyway, seeing that he's at those Indycar races whenever there's a Cup race on the same weekend.

As for JPM, it's nice having him around as a constant reminder to the F1 folks about just how tough stock car racing is. Oh I'm evil, muahaha.
