10 Things About that 500

Being on the backstretch for the 500, I have some observations.

10. Robby told me he would hook up with #2 Brad for the two-car draft, and he did.
9. Robby showed up on the Dodge stage around 10am. His crew guy with the camera
gave me his hat, which Robby signed - Thank you
8. I met some PlanetRobby people while waiting in line to get an autograph (very cool).
7. Through conversation I know the real identity of TOG.
6. I met a woman who worked for Robby at the Airforce Tent, and gave me some inside scoop on
Robby (his business, non-fan personality. (Very, very cool)
5. I found out that Robby's car was at times way quicker in the pack than cars around him, and
sometimes could hang with two-car drafts solo for a lap or two.
4. My driver was in the lead for multiple laps, not because he stayed out for the caution.
3. Mr. Labonte would not have finished the race where he did without Robby pushing him there.
2. Not since Junior in the Red #8 at either Bristol or Martinsville several years back have I seen a car
take that much damage and still be that fast with a true potential for winning in the end.
1. This season is already different for the Robby fan. There is strength in that car. Im still amazed.
I know he finished 16th, but he won a victory to me - several victories in several categories.
Rock on!
5.

I didn't see you in Cup practice Saturday Morning, nor were you at the Dodge appearance on Sunday. But, I will next time!

TOG is a aberration wrapped in an enigma disguised as a illusion.

Maybe TOG is the STIG?

Yea the Stig. Yea but they even reveal who the stig is from time to time. Are we ever going to get the true identity of TOG.

Nice stuff. For sure a huge weekend. Very exciting, and a great start for the year. Go Robby!

It was still a missile after all that damage...remember the #8 car with its right and left side ripped off on that short track years ago and he finished 3rd, it was reminiscent of that. And that isn't even bringing up his near misses...so so many. His luck has changed for the better, this year will be different.

If I may add an eleventh which I thought was just as cool. Robby said during one of the last cautions that he HAD to go with Paul Menard if it came down to choosing someone but Paul had filled his radiator with crap and had to pit so it became a nonissue

If someone sends me a check or money order I will tell you TOG's real name.

To late, met him in Texas last fall when he asked me at the elusive souvenir trailer, "Do you go on any web-sites?"
Sounds like you had fun, I'm jealous.
