I thought he said his shoulder was hurting and he needed Jonnie Lindberg to tune and drive for him. Lol, which one is the fake news? CNN has to be involved here somewhere.

NHRA declined to comment further, referencing the release stated the reason was "numerous on track accidents."

The feeling I've gotten in the last few years of watching him drive is there is a sense of desperation in his actions. Win at all costs can be a very deadly mindset. Its a habit that is hard to rein in but must be done unless you want something terrible to happen. I remember when Medlen gave Force a big talking to not long after Eric's death about that very thing. I think taking a step back could really help him here.
