Any info on the Wallgreens sponsorship? Plenty of those around me. Are they going to start carrying Speed?

probably in due time. Just remember, like the GNC deal, it takes time to get things rolling.

16-20 races this year for Robby Gordon. That means 16-20 races he won't run..This weekend falls under the 16-20 races that HE IS running the distance ( when he qualifies his way in )

Please be aware that they WILL still make some racetrim runs in practice, since there is no practice after qualifying. So don't panic if 25% of BOTH practices is allocated for racetrim runs.

You do realize this is PANIC CENTRAL!

Also, souvenir hauler WILL NOT be at Michigan ( as stated in F.A.Q. ) . It WILL be at Infineon next week.

The #21 WILL NOT be at Infineon next week, so need to beat the #71 on Sunday to be locked in for Infineon.

RGM has a 5 point lead on the 71. Hopefully this isn't a repeat of last Michigan race.

Remember that episode of Speed Factory?

correct - I misread the standings. I REALLY hope we don't have a repeat of last year.

Not good. Just say'n

or not to bad,considering RGM was going to run the first five events of the year then be part time the rest of the season.An RGM car has been to every event so far this season.Just say'n

Doesn't mean anything. I'd rather see a part time schedule (been saying it all year) then to run last every week (basically). Not my decision though. Sad that teams like the 32, 34, 13 and 71 beat us almost every week. At some point driver talent (which RG has) should over take bad set ups.
