Kevin helms new crew chief at dsr - Page 2

Rumor has it that Kevin was offered a shot at Top Fuel. Had a great light on his first hit, kept it straight, but tapped the brakes at the finish line, they didn't like that.

Way to go Kevin, now get DSR to put you behind the wheel of that FS car, that is where you belong.

Congrats Kevin, Leah is now a legitimate contender. Last October at the Indy Fall Classic, Geoff Turk showed what this combination is capable of (8.02@173+).

Looking down the road a ways, Kevin as the driver may be the natural outcome of this.

As great as Kevin is behind the wheel, better chance we see another DSR Nitro driver in a second Showdown car.

If only Kevin had nicer looking legs, he might have a chance.

Congratulations Kevin!! Well deserved! DRS did good!

DSR has some bucks. It wouldn't hurt to tender an offer to Danica Patrick and see if she has the spare time to stay involved in some low-stress racing post-NASCAR..

That would be a cool idea. NHRA is definitely more female friendly than NASCAR. It would bring more media attention for sure for the class. The class looks real popular right now with good car count. It will be interesting to see how many cars they get in the future. I am betting it will take an 8.20 run to get in the program

Interesting thought but I think I'd rather see Dale Jr or Jeff Gordon or Tony Stewart if we're going that route. (Besides, the current DSR driver actually wins races).

As for the suggestion about changing tire rules. No way. The 9 inch tire is a big part of what makes these cars special.

My 2 cents

I'm not so sure many people would want to have her lined up in the other lane! LOL
Congrats Kevin on the new position.
