Robby was lucky that the #88 and #55 wreck happened just behind him

Does anyone think RG will S & P the Duel to save this car for the 500?

spotty internet for me so far. Oh well.

Recap from today : Robby said car is fine. EVERY car in the garage had their nose graphics messed up after a handful of laps from the 2 car trains. Robby ran the first session with Gilliland, swapping back n forth who led. In the second session he ran with the #13 ( Since the #13 starts ahead of him in the duel ) Follow Planet Robby twitter for updates from the track.

Robby held his line. There was room on the outside. JJ checked up and caused it. As plays out RG never pinched off the wall and he had no idea they were wrecking. WTF is he supposed to to let the high and mighty 48 and 88 teams have the run of the place. Truex is a tool he hit the 88 the 7 didn't. If the 7 comes off the corner at Speed on the yellow line he would wreck. RG had to hit the corner exit the way he did.

I read that all teams can change engines after the duels. Once again NASCAR is changing the rules as they go. Change on top of change on top of change.

They will probably decrease the plate during the first caution.
