It was made official today, Casey Mears will leave Hendrick after this season...
With the team under performing again this season, and all the resources being devoted to changing the No. 5's fortunes, someone was gonna take the fall for a season gone in the toilet, and Mears became that fall guy.
But, looking at the success Kyle Busch has had with the No. 18 car this year after leaving Hendrick after last season, you have to wonder if the driver is really the problem with this race team?
