Robby will start 43rd regardless where Kvapil qualifies. They will work on racesetups. Travis is the best option for RG while he is at baja. He has current year COT experience,and has no conflicts.There is nothing more to read into this.
So because he qualifies well he should get a ride? RG needs to worry about the Top 35 and securing sponsorship for the full year before he thinks about car #2.
With the weather forecast for Pocono tomorrow being rain, the only practice time that TK will get is on Sat. So the question becomes with Qualifying rained out, will NASCAR consider it a driver change? If not Robby would start 34th.
If RG doesn't turn any laps at Pocono, then he will start at the back, regardless if Q's are rained out, etc.
The only option for him starting 34th is, rain wahses out EVERYTHING and the first laps turned for all drivers is on Sunday.
