Nah, All I read into it is a driver who got beat on last week ,wanted to retaliate, but didn't, and then says the #20 beat on him first this week, and he reached his boiling point ( which EVERY person has, racing related or not ) and thats that. He could have just as easily not raced today. The beauty is, we get to do this all over tomorrow.

Sure hope that we don't "get to do this all over tomorrow." Just a great race and things stay a bit cooler. With the #7 and #04 up closer to the front.

Why did Robby leave TRD ?

I don't think that was ever properly explained.
Probably value for the $$ invested.

Triad provided more bang for the buck.

Triad engines have been very stong all year.

Robby needs to get a shirt made that says "its not my fault"

Ah fun times. Who knew he would be driving for Michael in the 500 a decade later!

I thought the car was ok, but the team made him commit to a fuel strategy that basically killed any chance for a win. That was many adult beverages ago, I could be wrong.

Do you remember Robby running into Michael after the race at the Cleveland airport, and then commenting the steering on the cars is heavy and it was not intentional? Lord knows how some folks would react to that curently. I fail to see how anything Robby did today would shock anyone that has been truly watching him for more than 5 years.

Well according to what I read here it should be, I hate:

David Stremme
Joey Lagono
Michael Andretti
Michael Waltrip
Kenny Brack
Marcos Ambrose
Kurt Busch
Kyle Busch
Greg Biffle
Tony Stewart



I could keep going....


With that, PT would still be the perfect teammate

Actually, I think Robby is ok with Harvick and Stewart, maybe all three having ownership roles, or maybe just maturity after years of being through the wars together (Frances', sponsors, owners, women, etc.). In any case someone (besides nascar) needs to have a talk with our boy. It would have to be someone he respects, maybe Stewart or John Menard.
