TOG , I think your going to wish that panic room was open this week. You might need a time out chair too

I've thought RG had a shot at every restrictor plate race since 1991. Hey that reminds me..... This is the 20th anniversary of Robby first cup race.

replies to: #1 Anyone who survives the 1st 420 miles will be looking for partners. #2 Ford has the big ones and Robby can change it if he wants too. #3 Robby wasn't looking to run at the front and scrap his ride so others dated someone else. #4 Restart practice with full fuel loads and pitstop practice is more important than finishing 12th in a non points race.
Finishing 1st a Daytona is a huge marketing advantage and being around for the last 10 lap demo derby is one way to win.

Pit Crew looked flawless with the new fuel can. That seemed to be a concern of some teams before the race
