Joe Gibbs Racing has released driver Jason Leffler from the #11 car. Terry Labonte will race the #11 beginning this weekend at Watkins Glen. Busch Series drivers J.J. Yeley and Denny Hamlin will split driving duties in the #11 in the remaining Cup races where Labonte is not scheduled to drive.

Terry Labonte now has a full time team to work with at his disposal.  Don't be suprised if he actually wins a racxe before the year is out thumb

Well, "They said", for what that's worth, that Terry was only going to help out when the other two were not available. Such as the split schedule weekends, but I think he'll be in it more than that. Denny is awfully new to be pulling double duty. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this his first full season in Busch?

 

Might not be as hard for JJ, because he's used to running nearly every night of the week with his old openwheel schedule. Just a thought.

 

I'm just glad they made this move. Like Muffin said, Leffler wrecks everything he touches. Does anyone remember last year at Daytona when he wrecked Mikey and almost wrecked Jr. on the last lap? That's fine if you're at a short track, but you can kill somebody if you pull that mess at Daytona or 'Dega!

    • From my understanding, Jay Graham pretty much took over HC responsibilities in that game, so you can thank him. Cute Andy didn’t need help, though. Cute Andy could’ve beaten us without any assistant coaches.
    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd...
