[NASCAR-Group] Letarte is a doofus

 

Why on earth do Gordon and Hendrick continue to put up with this idiot Steve Letarte? Either he insists on consistently short-pitting Gordon, usually guaranteeing that he will go a lap down when the caution hits, or--as he did today--runs out of brains with forty laps to go and puts on two tires when everyone else is going for four.

I've also noticed, listening to the in-car radios, that Letarte never tells Gordon to shut up and drive when the car is head and shoulders faster than the field, but Gordon isn't 'comfortable'. Today, Gordon had the field spotted by seven seconds, but didn't like the idea that the car was loose coming off four. Letarte's job at this point is to tell Gordon how much faster he is than everyone else, and to adjust to the loose condition. Instead, he changes tire pressures, and for the rest of the race Gordon can't put more than two seconds on the competition.

Letarte has lost dozens of races for Gordon over the last several years, mostly by making really stupid decisions, and still he gets to sit in the comfy seat on the pit box.

Gordon is just a couple of wins away from taking third place all-time away from Darrell Waltrip. It's beginning to look pretty iffy as to whether he will ever make it. Meanwhile, Letarte's moronic work seems to guarantee that even if Gordon does get there, Johnson will take it over in a year or so.

What a waste. I want my afternoon back.
