A solid run this weekend could move RGM closer into 31st position...not to mention if the 26 or 38 fail qualify it will increase the gap even bigger. Both teams will have a tough time this weekend with 4 teams going home. Labonte has a PCP to fall on and Bill Elliott will likely make the show on speed. Nemecheck has done good getting in on speed all year. Just glad to see RGM with a decent padding in owner points.

RG has scored two top 15's in a row.

Can anyone guess the last time he did this?

Team is definitely getting better. It seemed like RGM wasn't even hardly in the news at all...almost unnoticed at the beginning of the season...but since Pocono, RGM has been heavy in the news and other than Musgrave failing to qualify, it's all been good stuff!!! 2nd Place finish, Speedfactory.TV, Bobby Labonte driving, 12th place finish at Daytona, possibly Labonte in a 2nd car soon...good stuff!! Keep it coming RGM...sponsors should be taking notice.

Finishing 2010 in the top 30 in owner points may be critical in 2011. I would be surprised if NASCAR cuts it back from 35 to 30 as it is in the NWS and CWTS .
