No way. He was given the opportunity of a lifetime.

HMS will be the best stepping stone in Casey Mears career

NO hes been given every chance and still is never consistent.....time to move on.....I like Casey but when 3 out 4 guys on your teams are in the top 12 and hes not even close...theres an issue....especially since Kyle Busch won in that car

Not at all. If he hasn't been winning than its time to make some changes.

No. I view it as I would any other job. If your job performance is lacking, you have the chance to be fired.

I like Casey though, and I do feel bad for him. But one win (Coca Cola 400 2007), and one top 5 (Infineon 2008) in a year's time is not going to keep him around.

yes but because he does not perform up to standards..... i forget how many races has he won? oh yeah 1, which is 3 LESS than Michael Waltrip!

no. lets face it, he's not a top dawg in racing. that's what makes hms. top dawgs. whether it be on talent or popularity, because Jr. is a top dawg. But he is not a legend.

I think all the attention is towards Jr. I know for a fact that Jr is not a better driver than gordon or johnson, but he is 2nd in points. Hendrick is giving jr all the equipment and is pretty much s******g casey over. Gordon is 6th all time for wins and he doesn't have a win this year, and johnson only has one. There attention is more towards jr.

Mears was better with his earlier team. I thought Hendrix would give him an edge, sometimes chemistry isn't right though. Mears is still a good driver, just not for Hendrix. he'll get a ride next year for sure. Maybe Toyota will have another ex-hendrix employee, Vickers is doing good there.

its hard casey is a good driver but him coming to the team and everything he has done for hendrick has been over shadowed by the success of the other three and Johnson, Gordan, and Jr get all the attention maybe casey should move on to another team and perform well maybe he could go to dei and help truex jr out
Report (0) (0) | earlier
no he has been the only driver there that couldnt produce the results it takes to stick around so i dont blame hendrick for getting rid of him
Report (0) (0) | earlier
Not really. Even though I don't like Hendrick, he hasn't really been successful there.

He drove like trash. He was simply let go, they didn't treat him badly in any way.

I'm looking for Mark to run that car a couple of times before the end of the season. We will see if Casey can drive or not.

Not necessarily trash. Throughout the last 4 years, I don't think he was given enough time to settle into a team to see what he could accomplish with time.

2009 - #?? - ???

2008 - #5 - HMS

2007 - #25 - HMS

2006 - #42 - CGRWFS

2005 - #41 - CGRWFS

I hope for his sake, that whatever team he signs on to in 2009 he'll be in that # & team in 2010.

You can compare Rick Hendrick to the people who ran Enron. All about the money and s***w everybody else.
Report (0) (0) | earlier
About the same as Kyle Busch. If Casey has as successful a year after he sheds Hendrick then I'll be delighted.
Report (0) (0) | earlier
yes i do .. they got jr and to heck with casey.. but jr hasn't got his g/f knocked up yet..

Does he do anything to deserve to be there? Huge mistake letting that ride go to him and not Rowdy Busch. Good thing Martin will be in there next year. Will be fun to watch Martin be competitive in that ride.
