Yeah it sucks... was really looking forward to see how the car was going to race. Haven't read the entire thread but this isn't a "poor run" or "really struggled this weekend" or "Nascar is after Robby" (that's getting old too) , its just some terrible luck... shit happens.. hard to judge if the team made any improvements/gains when you have a tire go down on lap 3 or 4. on to bristol.

I'll take a swing. Offspring ,remember drivers are a little heated after an incident.
They started conservative on pressure and got F#%Ked from a pucture. I'd been livid to.

How could it have been a "Clear Puncture" when the tire is passing you at 150 mph? They can see that when the side walls have been rolling on the rim and hitting the wall at 150mph??? The tire was shit. I'm sure RG gets the cream of the crop from Goodyear too?
