Statement from Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the departure of Tony Eury Jr.

 

“Unfortunately Tony Jr. is no longer with the company.  I had hoped he would be here for a long time, but as we’ve discussed the direction of JR Motorsports moving forward, it was clear our differences in ideas were too vast to overcome.  I love him like a brother, and you’ll never hear me say a bad thing about him.  I know he’ll have much success in anything he does going forward. As for our No. 7 team, no decision has been made on who will crew chief that team this weekend at Kentucky Speedway.  We will discuss our options and make a decision very soon.”
