10:45 AM ET 08.14 | Richard Childress Racing will have a four-team operation - with drivers Paul Menard, Jeff Burton, Kevin Harvick and Clint Bowyer - but doesn't anticipate pairing them in its shops the way Hendrick Motorsports does with its teams (Jimmie Johnson-Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin-Dale Earnhardt Jr.).

I can see why.. Harvick doesn't play well with others

Wildfan; you got that right about Harvick. The Gordon, Johnson pairing seems to work O.K. The Martin, Jr matchup doesn't seem to work well for Jr. Maybe it's the crew chief.

I think the guy that posts the articles on here is mad at FLOAT. As soon as FLOAT goes away for the weekend, we get a new article.

Wasn't it Jeff Green that sid,' Too bad there is only one team at RCR'? And that was when HE was driving for RCR.

where do you guys get the impression that Harvick is a bad teammate? i havent heard any stories about that at all..

i think its a good move housing them all in the same building, i have no idea why hendrick doesnt do it.. it really doesnt make sense to me

I think they should share the info. It's worked at Hendrick for the past 4 years.

its funny that jeff burton said harvick is one of the best teamates he has ever had. And drivers who have driven for him in the trucks and nationwide cars say he is easy to get along with.. And I think if he was such an a--, tony stewart wouldnt like him so good (maybe stewarts an a-- too) lol

thats why i couldnt figure out why they think harvick is such a bad teammate.. the stuff some of these dudes come up with around here is incredible.. perhaps they should get a clue before commenting on things they apparently know nothing about

references to her "mentor" aside, I wonder if the honeymoon with Ms Damnica is over. I was expecting the unending comments about her getting good seat time and experience, and cameras on her instead of the leaders, but I can recall through the whole race that happening only once. I think the fascination has worn off. She got 10x more camera time in the accumilated commercials (and does anyone really think she knows how to adjust the jets on that nice old Impala?)

It is amazing how her biggest drum beaters have gotten very quiet, much like the majority of Jooonya fans.
