Ok, I am ready to see Scott Riggs drive the car and put Robby on the box for a week or two.

for what ? If Scott has sponsorship, he would have a ride.

I just think as the business owner, when things go in the toilet, you need to get a handle on things. Too many problems week to week. Scott Riggs has the same style and would give some good feedback. It is obvious that driver points are not what RGM is worried about. Owner points get you in the show, so get a driver and let the owner find the right chemistry for the shop before getting back in the seat.
This is JMO!

Sorry your driver Scott Riggs doesnt have a ride , but I think the only thing Riggs could have done different today was say " Aw shucks, we lost third gear " instead of " fuck ! we lost third gear "

No kidding. That had to be the worst NASCAR series race ever at Watkins Glen (any year, any series). Ganassi dominated JPM had only not to lose it. Hope RG can end up with Earnhardt / Ganassi next year in Cup and Indy. Ambrose choked again, that guy is hilarious. Ambrose = All hype. He can't perform under pressure on Sunday!

The press was way over the top, but Marcos did run a good race. Not quite good enough, but better than a whole bunch of others.

Scott Riggs in the car? Really? Robby is struggling to get his car to the track without sponsors, cant get his souveneir trailer to a track where he is loved, and you want him to pay another driver to potentially wreck his car to get objective feedback??? I think Robby learned his lesson when he put a Nascar Champion in the car and it got wrecked. If Robby had full sponsorship for 2 cars, Riggs would definitely be a finalist, but Robby is busting his A$$ to get to to the track every week so I dont think he'll be paying anyone else. Unless Robby has had a huge change of heart from about a month ago, he wont start and park, but like TOG said if it makes sense, maybe he will for survival? Gas on Robby, We have your back!!!
