The sad part to the season so far, besides the fact that we are running so poorly, is that Boris Said is 3 points ahead of us and he has been the most pathetic looking car each week. I mean, even the cars that are DNQing are miles ahead of that team and yet they sit right in front of us in points. I hope things turn around soon.

NASCAR got exactly what they wanted (and quite frankly what they desperately need), a controversy. Once again the intentional crash highlights will be shown everywhere and talked about on the mainstream outlets. Unfortunately NASCAR's idiotic three restart and your done rule will continually cause the teams to spend more money fixing their crashed cars. They really do not have a clue when it comes to trying to keep a full field and saving teams money.

when you are sitting 34th you can't afford a 43rd...today was the worst possible thing to happen to the team

I think too many people judge Robby for his lack of winning. I know Robby would like to win, but I see him as a true off-road racer. The off-road mentality is to innovate, build, and race....and of course, you race for the win but if you do win, it is only icing on the cake. The journey, the drama, the fun, the experience, the memories, the stories...that is what drives the off road racer. To be independent, to take on the world, to conquer the environment, and beat your opponents...that feeds the off-road racer. At the end of the day, no matter how you did, you lived, and lived life to the fullest. Robby is a racer and a business man. He battles on the track, he battles in the office, and he does win. He was SCORE champion last year and won his class in Dakar. He's taken on the biggest names in motorsports, teams with the biggest budgets, and done it at the biggest venues in the world. This year he is going to take on NASCAR, DAKAR, Indy, Monster Trucks, SCORE, TORC, and hopefully some rally....and at the end of the day if he wins he is legendary, and if he loses, he is still nothing less. He built, he raced, he managed, he fought, he lived...and when he laid his head down to sleep, whether it was in the back of a vehicle, on his own pillow, or the floor of his race shop, he went to sleep knowing that NO ONE in this world had the journey that I did today....and tomorrow is only a few hours away!

Robby you're my hero!
