Long-time Darrell Waltrip Motorsports crew chief Jason Overstreet will leave the #00 team after tonight’s race. By his own choice, Overstreet is moving on to pursue other opportunities within the sport. No replacement has been named, but we have heard through the grapevine that ARCA owner Eddie Sharp may serve as interim crew chief at the Gateway race next week. ARCA and the Truck Series will both be in action at Gateway, making it easy for Sharp to handle both his own teams and the Truck team as well. Expect a formal announcement on the replacement one way or the other in the coming days.(TruckSeries.com)(8-22-2007)
UPDATE: While the Bristol race was supposed to be his final one with the team, Jason Overstreet is here this weekend with the #00 Toyota team for Michael Waltrip Racing. Overstreet will be assisted from the spotter’s stand by ARCA owner Eddie Sharp. Sharp will not only spot for Josh Wise, but he’ll also be involved in calling race strategy as well.(TruckSeries.com)(8-31-2007)
