Hopefully it's Jim Beam Black, for Halloween :)
I must admit the scanner was nice last night...just calm communication.

The 7 and 07 were racing REALLY hard for the lucky dog when the 1 lost a tire. (I mean swapping positions 4 times a lap) David got it so I switched over to the 07 audio. Casey didn't go ballistic but radioed that he was ahead of David where the yellow came out. David was ahead though at the last scoring loop. That was really a lucky dog!
David did a great job for Robby last night. I really don't think Robby would have done much better probably if the car was a 24th place car as they called it! David either stayed on the lead lap the whole time or was lucky enough to get the lucky dog so all in all it was a good run for him! I would hope that in the future, maybe Robby could put him back in the car or a 2nd car and see how he does.

The team should have got a bunch of feedback though on how things go without Robby and get feedback that maybe they never here coming from another drivers perspective. Looking at Rene's post on the front page, Robby won Primm so it was worth it to go out there and compete in the race to help secure that championship.
I think that last night shows that RGM's cars are typically mid pack. The difference in the finish is that Robby tries too hard to make the car a top 15 when it can't confortable run there. Hence, the wall smacks. Gilliand tries to keep the car under control and let's it run where it is most confortable.

Anyway, it was a good race and congrats to the 7 team. They are starting to build some momentum. On to Loudon.
