Only thing that made sense in my opinion. Hoping we can repeat the February success by 15 positions.

If he is racing who is going to POD with? He is the odd Dodge. With him in the back are Bobby L. who changed an engine and who might go with his brother or Front Row Joe. I would go initially with Joe as he was one of the top cars for most the race last night .Joe's dance partner from last night starts 22nd and Casey Mears starts 32nd. So it will take awhile before they can switch partners.

Big Joe and Conman had a rough ride last night...........and in my opinion Danica had no beeswax coming down the track she choked. Ok OK this is Daytona Robby style now. My foot tastes like chicken ...anyone else want'a join in?

@ Michael Martinez. Mike Wallace was all over the track and ran into to her. She had nowhere to go. She ran a very good race and is getting a whole lot better at this racing.

putter is right. I'm no Danica fan, but she was driving a good race there until the end. She made some very good moves threading through traffic with Tony pushing her. My respect for her has gone up a notch or two (though it still has a long way to go).

Danica may need a new sponser where ever she races next year. KKR just bought GoDaddy and they are famous for milking the last pennny out of what they buy.

I will be at the entrance to pit road tonight with my two sons. Nothing makes me happier than knowing he will race. I have my Speed Energy Cap, given to me by Robby himself and signed. I have my custom T-Shirt. I have my #7 decal on the back of the van, and Im ready to go. TOG, do me a favor and tell Robby that the National Whitewater Center may be interested in sponsoring his car. Talked to a suit in Sales & Marketing while on vacation yesterday. When I told the suit and the manager that Robby was into watersports, they looked at each other like they had an "Aha" moment.
