So, basically the #7 has a ride buyer driver that is also a start and park driver? Wow. That's an epic combination.

Anybody remember David Ragan being called a "dart without feathers" a couple years ago... and then a couple years later he almost makes the chase. Seat time sometimes is critical.

Ragans problem is lack of agressiveness and being intimidated by other drivers... He was NEVER 10mhp off the pace.

Is the RGM store going to start selling Extenze Racing gear. I would wear it with pride.

It is really sad to see a man's dreams come to this. I hope things turn around some how.
I hope Robby has a good weekend offroad racing.

125 Points is what? 10 or 15 Races cushion??

Based on what logic/math? The car is a start and park, the cars right behind in points aren't. The gap has gone down 102 points in four races, and those weren't all S&Ps for the #7, they actually TRIED to gain points in some of the races:

Pocono - 227
Glen - 185 (42 point loss)
Michigan - 161 (24 point loss)
Bristol - 125 (36 point loss)

So really it's more like a 4 to 8 race cushion the way things are at this point. Unless you expect Conway to actually start racing the #7 to some top 35 finishes there isn't much reason to expect the trend to really change.

It will be fun to see Conway try to qualify an S&P car from outside the top35 for Homestead, when RG is in Baja.
