Right now, unless the 47 turns it on I dont see much hope for them. We get 30 more green laps, they go two laps down. They have 10 cars in front of them inline for the dog, and some of them are solid teams. No way he out races the 16, 12 or 2 to get the dog. In addition to that, I dont see Carl slowing down up front. Robby says car is loose...which is good for right now.

Asking what line leader is running. Asking if the valance is hitting, cant turn it right. Car tight on entry.

Glad to see someone is being reasonable and not freaking out about apparent "bad pit stops."

Keep in front of the 47, keep the 84 within site, and bring the car home in one piece. Thats enough to end this season in the top 35, which is all they need to do.

47 is the next car to go -2. Need about 10 more green flag laps, aside from mech. faliure, and horrid stops...this could be a clincher. I know its early to say that, but can a team come back from 2 laps down, after being non competitive nearly halfway through the race? Its look like they are going that way.

Ideal scenario has the 47 going to laps down, and then a caution to keep the 7 on the lead lap...

I disagree....with Robby's talent, I think we should expect him to kick some ass.

Talent cannot outweigh engineering staffs of 40+ people at Roush and Hendrick.

Expect wins and top 5s at road courses and plate races, anything else is just a bonus.
