McSwain to step down as #21 crew chief at end of season: It's a decision that Michael "Fatback" McSwain has been working toward for quite some time. At the end of the season, McSwain will step down as crew chief for #21 Wood Brothers/JTG Racing and current driver Bill Elliott. He doesn't yet know where he'll land or what he'll be doing, but in McSwain's very countenance, there is nevertheless a most definite sense of relief. No longer will McSwain dread leaving his home in Dallas, N.C., where he lives with wife Deanna, 2-year old daughter Makayla and son Wyatt, who's just three months old. No longer will Makayla wonder when her daddy's going to be home. No longer will McSwain be just an infrequent visitor at his church. Team owners Len and Eddie Wood, as well as Tad Geschickter, have been informed of McSwain's intentions. There is a possibility that McSwain could move over to one of the organization's Craftsman Truck Series teams, or maybe into some sort of research and development role. Whatever the case, McSwain stressed that his decision is in no part due to any kind of dissatisfaction with the Wood Brothers/JTG operation in and of itself. Instead, he simply wants to concentrate on his family, friends and faith.(NASCAR.com)(8-28-2007) From Jayski!

I always thought Joe Gibbs Racing made a mistake letting Fatback go. Bobby Labonte's downward spiral began after Fatback left with Bobby himself leaving JGR nearly 18 months later. I doubt Fatback and Bobby would be back together though.

He's leaving for personal reasons more than anything.
