If Robby can figure out the difference between PC and Tagliani... I guess all those Canadians look alike :-)

I couldnt get a good view of the hood... was it Speed or Mapei? It looked like it could have been Speed...

FYI, I was watching on JTV on my computer... so it was small./

What a good race. I haven't been that exited about a robby race in a while.

Reminds me of cheering for a football team who goes who comes back at 4th quarter to loose the game by a fumble. Oh well right, that's racing

There is noone else I would rather root for. Sure hope RGM finds the $$$ for next year and to all of you negative nancys, screw off and find somewhere else to bitch and complain.

Thanks for posting. Is there anyway to get the video of the whole interview of Patrick and then Robby? Bummer finish, but great race.

As Canadian fans we were pissed at Tag holding RG up and basically being a prick just like the way he races in IRL... if Paul Tracy was there he'd have put Tag in the fence without a doubt (I can see how RG didn't want to rough up the French Canadian on Canadian soil - that's cool but any of us outside of Quebec would have loved it...).

Thanks for the great effort today Robby - the result certainly wasn't what we all wanted but you showed us that you still have the talent to drive to the front.

You have to be ready for someone to break check ya. But that was uncalled for. Rob kept it clean all day. I can see why Tagliani didn't want Rob to continue. No chance for anyone if he goes by Tags right after that point. Nice of Robby to not mention that during the post race interview. Maybe something in the works for INDY next year ? (with Tags)

Just a giant Heartbreak...we will see better days. Wheaton56 said it well...too many haters out there. Either you like the way the man does his business or you don't. No need to bitch and complain...head on over to JGR or RFR

...and for the fans keep the heads up...he is a long way from done

Amen, as the signature TOG message would be, "on to______________________"

Well, I still liked the blue, throw some yellow from the octane can on the nose and we can see ya better, but the car was Sharp and looked killer when passing fools

RGM had the best looking car in the race - bar none! Mapei guys would be very happy with it.
