Did Robby stay out to lead a lap? Of course the booth would never bother to mention it.

Robby did pick up 5 points for leading a lap.

He also got some nice TV time in the aftermath - a nice shot of the Mapei hood as he drove behind the battered car of Kyle Busch. On the replays, they had a great slo-mo of Rob's "collision" with Logano and Busch.

He looked like he was making a small move - up to about 18th. He put a little more distance between himself and the 34 and 82.

I think he peaked at 15th with about 2 to go, then had to check up or in wrong line.There was an F bomb..lol..

He got hung out to dry at the end, tried to make a move in the middle and no one would help him.

I guess Rob's strategy is to pick up 5 points each week to make up for the 50-point Charlotte penalty.

Wally paid Rob a compliment when he let Vickers or Hamlin - I forget which - he let one of them leave their pit box before entering his. Wally and Kyle said that was a courteous move by Robby.

Can anyone tell me - are these Triad motors doing the job when it comes to horsepower? I assume right now, Rob is their biggest client so I assume they are bending over backwards for him.

He hasnt complained about HP ever since the switch.

Country Boy, could Robby have screwed himself with that act of kindness? What if the 18 car had torn his fender off? Or maybe the 18 car didn't have to slow for that second? Could it have changed the whole outcome? I know we can never tell but it's interesting think about the "what ifs".
