One win in tandem RP race where he was pushed by his teammate?? He drove away one of the biggest sponsors (UPS) in NASCAR from a major full-time sponsorship to a small part-time sponsorship ... In over five years at Roush, he finished four of those seasons outside of the top 20 ... He was only inside the top 20 in 2008 because Roush was looking for a sponsor for the #6 car ... <br /><br />Ragan's got way too many DNFs from self-inflicted wrecks and engine blow-ups ... The only things that Ragan did not hit in 2011 were the pace car and safety vehicles ... <br /><br />Sam Hornish Jr should have the # 22 Cup ride ... The problem with the #77 Cup team was NEVER Sam ... It was the sheer incompetency of crew chief Travis Geisler ... It's hard to work with a car that's always setup to be loose in / tight center / loose off ... <br /><br /><br />If not Sam, then it should be Reutimann ... He knows how to take care of equipment better than Ragan and Vickers ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-84692991313021307352011-12-05T22:27:44.954-05:002011-12-05T22:27:44.954-05:00David ragan and david ruderman have had there chan...David ragan and david ruderman have had there chance to prove themselves.

From what I have heard in multiple interviews, David has "speed", that quality that we know it when we see it. He also has the polish that shell/Pennzoil is looking for. Big things will come of this.<br /><br />Best of luck to Kurt, I hope he gets it figured out.<br /><br />Loyal listener from NH.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-53198134200349382542011-12-05T18:27:20.623-05:002011-12-05T18:27:20.623-05:00Any one but VICKERS please!Any one but VICKERS please!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-60054438117220902042011-12-05T14:42:56.995-05:002011-12-05T14:42:56.995-05:00Nothing against Ragan, but Hornish deserves the fi...Nothing against Ragan, but Hornish deserves the first chance at the 22. His loyalty to Penske is unparalleled. Had he the opportunity for a top tier program like #22 when he raced cup, he would have fared as well as Ragan. Sam haters talk him down, but he has yet to have an elite crew and car in the cup series to work with.

David Ragan was "schooled" in how to represent your sponsor well at Roush-Fenway.<br /><br />Now it appears that only Joe Gibbs Racing is enabling poor sponsorship representation. M&M's needs to re-evaluate where they place their bucks since Kyle's actions are endorsed by them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24138427.post-38553837136506368712011-12-05T00:14:49.663-05:002011-12-05T00:14:49.663-05:00Adding David Ragan would certainly send the right ...Adding David Ragan would certainly send the right message about the kind of drivers that they want in their organization.
