Crew Chief Switching Game - This Time it's Ganassi

After his public displeasure at the way his teams are doing, Chip Ganassi decided it's time to play the crew chief switching game, Montoya and Sorenson will be switching crew chiefs.  Ganassi thinks it's a great idea...

I really feel that these changes can be instrumental in moving Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates to the next level. I have a lot of respect for both Donnie and Jimmy and the jobs that they do and they both agree that this move can be very beneficial to the entire organization. I have said all along that I believe us to be a championship organization and that Felix and I will do whatever we can to make us better. This is toward that end.

Honestly, I don't see how this will help anything.  We've seen crew chief switches in the past in other teams not really work, yes some have worked, but most don't seem to work out too well and ends up with either the driver or one of the crew chiefs getting fired.  Even if it does work, it won't have the instant results Ganassi wants, look at Edwards as an example, he struggled when his crew chief was switched, he's back up there now, but it wasn't instant.

Another problem I see is that these crew chiefs are the only ones that these drivers have had during their Cup career.  Granted I'm not a Montoya fan, but I do like Sorenson and think he has potential, unfortunately not with Ganassi, I foresee him being "replaced" by another open-wheel driver and if that happens, I hope he gets a decent ride in good equipment.

Equipment is where I think Ganassi is lacking, I don't think he's ever had all of his cars doing well at the same time.  I think he focuses too much on one team/car instead of the whole team/organization.  Back when Marlin drove for him, it was all about the #40 car, now it's all about Montoya, how does he expect for all his teams to do well when he focuses on just one?  Drivers can not do well if they don't have the equipment to do it in, hence Sorensons problem, that and he keeps getting caught up in wrecks.  And while I'm not a fan of the open-wheelers, I think Ganassi is expecting way too much of Franchitti in his first year.

Your thoughts?
