Im not a Miles hater, just haven't seen good results with Miles as crew chief. Really hoping with Dega this weekend RGM would have someone with more experience. Sonoma will be here soon too...only a few tracks where Winning is ahead of a solid finish, hate to see the opportunity wasted.

Unfortunately,the sponsor "FAST FIVE " is not getting much exposure running in the back of the pack.This worries me.

Interesting side notes:

From Denny Hamlin - "Team facing setup problems trying to adjust to new tire construction"
http://www.scenedaily.com/news/articles/sprintcupseries/MONDAY_MORN...

From Jeff Gordon - "It's not luck. It's not the paint scheme or sponsor on the car. It's teamwork. It's using the available tools to make a fast car." (response to his team's recent performance)

Add TOG just spent the dues collected from PLanet members to buy that Gibb's set-up all the Planet couch chief's have been demanding.I wonder if he can return it?

Damn, all of those who were certain that a Gibbs set up was the answer to all of Robby's problems. You should be careful what you wish for. I think we're seeing that Gibbs isn't infallible, he has been having problems just like a lot of others, IMO , it's what you learn from your problems that makes the difference between solving the problem or not solving it. I think there are many here who want a quick fix to the problems at RGM and too few with the patience to wait for the solution.
