Charlotte & Dega...any chance of an audible?

Robby has put Reed Sorenson behind the wheel the last two weeks. With Charlotte being in their backyard and Dega (1 year anniversary of SPEED launch) coming up...if there was a chance at an audible it would be one or both of these races.

Robby retired early from Chicago's race (intended to be a full race, but went 2 laps down & parked it with nothing to gain). So maybe Charlotte gets an audible?

However, if you look ahead Talladega is the following week. Robby loves the plate racing, but hated the 2-car tango. Nascar has made several rule changes to aid in preventing the 2 by 2 car dancing. It will mark the 1 year anniversary of the launch of SPEED Energy. I would hope Robby shows up and looks at how things work in practice. Qualifying will be a huge challenge for RGM. They've always built fast drafting cars, but haven't usually had a fast qualifying package.

Either way, I hope an audible is coming. Love to see Robby racing again.

Whet ever RG does at dega or in the future will be the best for our team as a whole. I have a been a fan and friend of his since his early stadium truck days. It is very tough to not speculate and think about issues of our team and others but it is what it is. It has to kill the entire organazation to have to start and park right now but i truly feel RG has a future plan that will see us all in the cheering section and even the winners circle again we just need to hang in there and see it thru. In the mean time we have to accept that when we do race we are there to race and when it is all over that RG is still the man and the only man with the balls to set out on his own just like his idlle ( #7 ALAN KULWICKI) did. Trust me it is tough to defend our man but it will turn around in the near future and we will be back and until then keep our heads up and keep digging.He never falls short in heart and drive which is sometimes harder to come by these days. So if we run 3rd or 43rd he is and always will be our guy snd he needs us right now and he will agisn show us why he is the man!

42nd to 1st!!! It CAN BE DONE. I'm not sure if there is a better noise in NASCAR than Plate racing.

Heres a better clip. Part 3 of 17 of the whole race. At around 4:45 you can see the two car pack take form but watch the swap on the straight away. Funny looking to how they do it now in the turns.
