16th Place finish gives Robby breathing room

Finally a finish that matched his perfromance. Robby's 16th place finish moved him up to 34th in owner points and gave him a 97 point advantage over 36th.

The #34 is still going to be at the track, just without John Andretti....

A great run for Robby!!! I really hate that the AssHoles on FOX don't even recognize Robby. I understand it's always been that way but what an adventure last night, How do they not mention everything Robby went through and still finish with a top 16.

It's so typical...Earnhardt Jr is running in 29th and a lap down but they cut to his in-car camera and talk about him every 10 minutes but they refuse to acknowledge drivers like Robby or Sam Hornish who had stellar runs, despite a whole rash of bad luck

Robby has gotten great coverage this year from the TV media. Although the coverage was slim for the Richmond race, overall TV has done a good job covering him.

Fox coverage is IFFY (and understandable)....but Speed has given us AMAZING amounts of coverage every weekend at all practices etc,

Hmmm. I thought they gave Hornish a pretty good amount of coverage....

Team looked great last night. I was at the track and watched the lime green machine wheeling. What should be noted is the fact that the car looked perfect at end of race. He kept that car exceptionally clean for Richmond. Great pitstops and the car was always going forward(maybe the jim beam black car was bad luck). I think it could have been a top 10 car had Robby not been extra careful to chase points (which was smart). I was holding my breath anytime he came close to any car with a number divisible by 11, they seem to be the guys that always keep the sawzaws going in the garages(55,77,44).

Restrictor plate track program is looking good, short track program looking good...now we need some work on those mile and halfs...
