It's Talladega - very unpredictable (ask Kasey and Kyle). Robby was 34th in driver points last year after Dega - he is 31st this year. Improvement - that is what we are happy about.

Let's get this clear right now. Casey was a stud for us today. When we lost the lead lap and Casey got the LD things could have gotten ugly. Granted, Casey don't have a lot of friends out there but he could have easily hung the 7 out to dry. But they kept working together with Rob pushing the Casey to the front.

The result could have been better but it was a pleasure listening to the scanner and hearing two guys work so well together.

It is possible that RG's top 20 will move him up one position in owners points.

I think he will pass the 32 and be a couple behind the 21

any way you slice it this was a disappointing race for Robby, he did not run up front AT ALL and a top 20 is only so so.

obviously it's better than a torn up car but we should have been expecting more, hell even Dave Blaney led several laps.

Nothing to be disappointed about. Taking a straight car back to the shop,not beat to shit. The guys in the shop get to work on other cars in the inventory and the all new chassis. Another week the engine was a brut. A solid finish.
On to Richmond ,the 30th.
