All that has to happen is finish 14th or better every race and you are champ. Pretty much.

For sure, it's all about the team, they are the ones that get to wake up in the morning knowing they got their asses handed to them today. Robby gets to wake up in the morning knowing he spent a bunch of money, and his team got their asses handed to them today, by teams that spend less money. If I was Robby, I'd be pissed.

wow the fight for the 35th spot is a battle! finished 26th and fell out.....yikes!!! don't know what or why but IMO only running 9 laps of practice didn't help for the race...time for the team to dig deep and find some speed for dega

I agree on the 9 laps. That was horrible. Pretty hard to compare 350+ laps to several laps that add up to 9. On Saturday all I heard was it was a smart move because the practice was all in race trim and how visionary that was. How could the car be so far off that Robby finishes 6 laps back?

I am very confident the car will make it into the Talladega race, but unfortunately the practice has to be in qualifying trim.

Meeeee
Give me a break. Only ran 9 laps because of a lack of funds? Please back that up with your source and data. Or could it be they made big changes and that takes time? Or could it be they were happy with the car. or could it be they were saving tires for Saturdays practice and did not expect it to be rained out.

saving tires equates to only 8 sets for all friday & saturday practice,including qualifying. All teams have that rule.Then they get "x" amount of sets on raceday. The #7 buys just as many tires for a race weekend as the #48 does. Sorry, but you are wrong here.
