Great post Zoom.

Robby has developed a product that allows him to RACE every week so far this year. While we all expected RGM to race the first 5 of the year, not many can say they expected RGM to race at Martinsville of all places. Not only that, but he will race. Not a start and park weekend. Heck, I am even getting my hopes up on Dover if Speed Energy continues to sell and supermarkets continue to partner with RGM for sponsorships. Pocono is a pipe dream, but I will take Dover.

Weis? Are you listening!? Wawa? Sheetz? We need Speed in PA, NJ and northern Delaware!

I never thought he would run martinsville again....But he is & like you said, it's a full race. Watching is optional.

As to the fuel issue, this is the second time the team has had the problem. In looking at the laps run prior to the first pit stop versus the laps run up to when RG ran out, it looked like the issue was in the refueling rig and not getting the cell packed instead of fuel mileage. IMO, this means that the Gas Can man needs to practice, practice, etc.

Again, per scanner 'Do not wait on fuel" was the call on the approach to pit lane.

So when does the "Conspiracy theories of what the announcement will be?" thread start?

I'll fire off the first shot and say he is running Indy with Roger...lol
