After weeks of struggles, the #78 Furniture Row Racing pit crew is no more. FRR will use Richard Childress Racings #2 Nationwide Series pit crew starting this weekend at Dover International Speedway and for the foreseeable future. The team will retain its gasman Milan Rudanovic. FRR has a technical alliance with RCR. We had to make a change, driver Kurt Busch said. As a Chase team, you have to go up to bat each time looking to make contact, and our team had a lot of misses on pit road this year. Each position struggled. The chemistry among the group it was no one persons fault. As a team, they did not execute. So I talked to (FRR GM) Joe Garone about it and brought in (FRR team owner) Barney Visser and Richard Childress, and we all came to the conclusion together.(FoxSports)(9-28-2013)
If RC is will to switch a crew for a satellite team that has a struggling pit crew. You know he wont hesitate to do it for one of his teams! Cant wait for Ryan to move.

Not much could be worse than what SHR has made him use.

For being such a valued friend of Tony Stewart, Ryan has been treated poorly by SHR and I don't mean just since he was let go either.
I expect RCR will show him the respect he deserves.
