    Bob Osbourne steps down as crew chief of #99

    says for "health concerns" which we all know thats not really why

    BEST thing for the #99 imo

    Chad Norris will be taking over for Osbourne for now.....he was in rousch's testing program, and also crew chief for T.Bayne in nationwide, and stenhouse Jr. in his limited CUP schedule

    i think this is a HUGE step forward for Carl

    Oh man... that's rough. I wonder if he'll catch on somewhere else. He seemed to be a solid crew chief until this year.

    I don't think he was stepping down.

    Edwards basically dumped him as crew chief and told him he could give an excuse if he wanted.

    This is actually the second time Edwards fired him as crew chief. Back in 2006 he did the same thing.

    Edwards might have done a bit better if Ozzy Osbourne was crew chief.
