Recently, Mike Skinner, driver of the #4 Kodak Pontiac, met with team owner Larry McClure to give the team a communication grade. Skinner said it was a “D.” “It’s just communication and getting the right setup under the car,” Skinner said. “Either I’m saying the wrong things or they are hearing the wrong things, and we’re really working on that.” After talking with McClure, Skinner, crew chief Chris Carrier and the rest of the team’s leadership got together. Skinner insisted that while he can help with the setup of the car, his main focus is drive and provide proper feedback. It’s the crew’s job to make the right decisions on the setup.( NASCAR.com ), also during Speed Channel’s coverage of Coca-Cola 600 qualifying, it was reported that former crew chief, Tim Brewer, was working with the team as a consultant.(5-24-2003)
