CHANGES AT GRIFFIN MOTORSPORTS
Scott Griffin Motorsports has made a change in personnel by releasing crewchief Wes Cerny. Assistant crewchief Tony Shortall will assume the duties this weekend with Rahn Tobler serving as a consultant.
“We needed to shake things up,” said Griffin. “We just weren't making the
progress in the points that I had hoped. I just felt that it was time to make a
move. Tony has been with the team a long time, and this is his chance to shine.
The Sonoma race is an important one for our team.
“We are bringing in
veteran tuner Rahn Tobler to work as a consultant with Tony for this
race.”
McClenathan is 70 points out of the eighth place with the first
cut of NHRA’s Countdown to the Championship looming in three races. He was
runner-up at St. Louis in May but has won only two rounds in seven races since
then.
“My parting with Wes was very amicable, and I wish him the best of
luck,” said Griffin.
