Rob got some air time early on. Showed a few laps and talked about the top 35 situation. He ran 9 laps and the car doesn't look like it is where it needs to be. 29th so far, about 6 mph off of Johnson, the leader at 161.938.

They've run a lot of laps, working on long runs this practice. He's not bad, his average speed is on par for race runs.

Slap on some stickers and the car should jump up the chart a bit. Hope I'm right at least.

awesome. I also saw that ESPN displayed a 10 lap average graphic that said Rob was 10th overall. guess that is something positive too.

And the fact he's faster than the # 47 AND # 84. Very good.

Rob's average for those 10 laps is impressive. My guess is that he is running a top 5 time average right now. The TTCOT may revive the team's comparison to Alan K.
