Help Wanted: Tony Eury Jr.'s next adventure

File it under “where are they now?”

He's worked with the two biggest names in NASCAR -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Danica Patrick. But since I hadn't hear from Tony Eury Jr. lately, I decided to find out what he’s been up to since Brandon Davis shut down Swan Racing in April.

In May, Eury, who is probably best known as Earnhardt Jr.’s cousin and former crew chief at Hendrick Motorsports,  JR Motorsports and DEI, accepted the general manager’s role at LFR Chassis in Mooresville – a company specializing in high end components for top Modified and Late Model race teams.

For Eury, it was a chance to return to grass roots racing – the reason he entered motorsports in the first place.

Eury is one of the easiest going people you’ll ever meet – and generally in very good spirits. But he was particularly excited about a new project and told me to check it out. For any aspiring racers looking to move up the ladder, I suggest you do the same.

Here is the July 26 Facebook post at https://www.facebook.com/LFRChassisInc:

How often does the opportunity come along to work with a former Sprint Cup crew chief? Now, I’m just the messenger, but if you possess the talent and the attitude it takes to race at this level go for it.
