Dale Earnhardt’s Legendary Ex-Right Hand Man Slammed for “Saying Whatever the Hell NASCAR Wants Him to Say”

Larry McReynolds recently issued a statement regarding the path on which NASCAR is headed. But fans didn’t really seem to be on board with it as they took to slam Dale Earnhardt’s former crew chief for his statement regarding the future of the sport.

“When something works you stick with it. NASCAR wonders how they can get their old fan base back and that will never happen because of stupid things like this. There’s one thing people don’t like and that’s change especially in NASCAR. Racing in the str… See more.”
