This interesting because the replacements came from the 7 after the suspensions from the wheel coming off at COTA.

Did this have Hendrick take a closer look at the 7 and determine they were better than the 5 crew?

At this rate, Brad Keselowski is going to take over the #7 and leave Justin ride-less.

Not really a surprise.

The new guys have been fitting in well on the team so why not keep them on?

Wow. That’s news I didn’t expect to wake up too. The pit crew had been struggling some though so I guess it’s warranted.

I mean after Vegas last year where they ruined Larsons chance to win, ruining his chance to win by loosing a wheel at Texas earlier in the season and COTA this year his pit crew was really not looking as great as they once did

I swear Chase has had mostly the same pit crew for years now. It would be so weird to randomly see them all taken off of his team like in this situation. I guess I haven't really been paying attention to Larson's pit stops recently, though I hadn't noticed anything glaring.

A major shake up like this only happens if Mr H himself says make it happen!

He is the mafia boss of NASCAR, or at the very least Chevy. Whatever he says, goes

Must be awkward - his crew chief is going to have fun next week, unless he also gets pillaged

No way they remove Cliff from Kyle’s pit box.

I think the Kyle that needs a new pit crew is the #8 at RCR! They are terrible! Larson team way better

Can the 48 get the old 5 team? We’ve had to come back down pit road to check the lugs 3 times in the last 3 races.
