You know, I thought the whole thing with Mikey and Jr. was weird. The switching of the crews and cars -- just way weird. Can you hear Matt Kenseth saying to Kurt Busch "Hey, let's change things up, maybe it will help me in the points". No, it just isn't going to happen. I think that Jr. asked for the change and you know how it is, be careful what you wish for. Jr.'s downward spiral started happening and even though Mikey was finding trouble on the track he was running well. As much as I like Jr. I gotta stand behind Mikey. I'm sure over the years before he came to DEI he felt like an outsider looking in. He didn't have a win for so long and was never a real threat in a race. That can kind of mess up your self-esteem. So when changes took place this year at DEI it doesn't surprise me that Mikey went along with it. What did he have to lose? Then he starts clicking with Eury and wants to stay with him. But when he tries to get a commitment from DEI and Eury things get weird. I have to applaud Mikey for standing up for himself. He knows what he wants and he won't compromise. Where ever he ends up that team will be lucky to have him. He is a sponsor's dream machine! Ha! I made a funny!
