Busch crew chief Addington confused by firing
October 30, 2009
TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP)—Steve Addington says he doesn’t know why he was fired as crew chief for Kyle Busch.
Joe Gibbs Racing officials told Addington earlier this week that Sunday’s race at Talladega Superspeedway will be his last with Busch.
Addington says he is confused by the decision. He and Busch won 12 races together since their pairing at the start of last season.
Although they missed a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup, Busch has four wins this season. The firing also came after consecutive top-10 finishes.
Addington thinks the finishes of late weren’t consistent enough, so JGR officials made a change.
