Tony Eury Jr. said Monday that he's been removed as crew chief of Danica Patrick's Nationwide Series team.

According to Fox Sports' website, Eury said he was being replaced by Ryan Pemberton with the No. 7 GoDaddy.com team, which is owned by JR Motorsports.

"They're trying to fix the competition of the cars," Eury said, according to FoxSports.com. "They thought they could do better without me there. They hired Ryan and Ryan's their guy."

Patrick sits 11th in the Nationwide points standings following Saturday's 12th-place finish at Chicagoland.
