I guess Don had to make a marginal call he is more likely to win another Championship with the Dragster than the Funny Car!

I feel bad for TJ he is the odd man out but the lack of success in the Funny Car made the decission pretty predictable for Don after all Larry has been with him since he became a team owner and Larry being one of his crew members from his driving days.
Larry is too good to have him sitting on the sidelines..

Damn shame for TJ to be out of a ride. Not much open for 2008 the way it looks, but I hope he lands somewhere.

Unfortunately, it makes perfect sense; it seems to be the lesser of all crappy choices; there is only enough money for one car; Dixon is the top dog; based on his relationship with Snake and his championships, he should be. It sucks for TJ; however, it is really a case of stuff happens; if it wasn't for the Skytel deal, TJ may very well have been out of a job a year earlier. TJ is a good dude, I hope he gets something soon.

This one definitely hugs the root . T.J. is the coolest guy going , and very marketable . I have no doubt he will be in a car for next year very soon , he is too good not to be . I would think this was a very tough call for Snake , but you have to do what you got to do I guess .

This makes me sick. Tommy is a great guy and a great driver. Business is business but it still doesn't make it right. I hope TJ gets in someplace.

Everybody seems to be forgetting the 10 guys who will be unemployed if they don't run the car.

It affects a lot more people than T.J.

Just one of those race things you don't want to happen.

True! Several of those guys will probably have it a rougher than Tommy being unemployed. It sucks for everyone with the team.

Buell's and Hardley's suck!

Gonna be a tough year to get a ride in 08

1. Bazemore
2. Burkhart
3. Arend
4. Tj

Lots of good drivers on the sidelines

That Skytel was leaving came out weeks ago. and the fact that the funny car was not up to par made this seem like the logical thing to do when you only have funding in line for one car.

oh man, this sucks!
I just got back from Vegas a few minutes ago.
I got a pic of TJ and he was so cool!
He was being very cool with some fans that were hanging out.
For sure one of the good guys.
Damn.

I'm pretty sure Jr's phone has been ringing Charles. Not to worry. He'll land on his feet.

What about Skusa?

you can only hope that the reason don released him was so he can openly persue another seat incase another sponsor isn't found. snake racing hasn't "officialy" announced that the fc is parked for next year, have they? TJ might of had a clause in his contract forbidding any discussions with other teams.

This pretty much sucks. I sure hope he gets a ride next year. I just found out I'll be unemployed soon so I know how he feels.
