This is cool to hear TOG. I am stoked at how busy he is staying in this rough economy. He just makes it happen. The man is amazing!! Go fast Robby!!

TOG on the scoring pylon there is a line under the green flag at all the remaining tracks, but under the checker just the 3 planned full races, that led me to believe that the rest Rob would show-up and attempt to qualify, and if he did it would be a S&P. Am I correct and if so is the Atlanta II now added as a full race?

I did the pylon so I'll answer your question. Only 3 full races scheduled: Chicagoland, Texas, and Phoenix. Atlanta is not a full race unless something has changed since yesterday.

OK after the post not at Crandon I thought there might be a possible change of plans, as there was. That make since? Was my assumption correct that there would be someone at every track for RGM to Q?

The pylon is a great idea! Even I can understand that.

It was good seeing Robby at Bristol and the merchandise trailer. Got the new flag and it looks great - nice and big (and a little furry) and could double as a blanket :-) But, I don't understand why there isn't a stocked cooler with Speed Energy for sale at the tracks, at the very least when the trailer comes. As roasting hot as it was on Friday at Bristol, I think that people would definitely have bought some. I would have since my stockpile was at the campsite. If folks don't at least get to try it, how will they become future customers? It is an awesome beverage and people would like if there was an opportunity for them to buy it somewhere. I don't understand why the 3 races he is running are Chicagoland, Texas, and Phoenix - is this because he has sponsorship for those races? Seems like it would be less expensive to run full races where the team and crew would not have to fly (Dega, Charlotte, Martinsville, Atlanta) Charlotte should be heavily marketed with the beverage available for sale at the track (don't need the merchandise trailer to do that) - it needs to at least be prolific in the city where it is made. We'll be at Atlanta and cheer for a good qualifying effort even though we would like to see Robby run full races, the S&P strategy makes sense for the short term.
