Wow... Gilliland gets 32 races at Front Row fully sponsored with Taco Bell.

Front Row owner does own a bunch of Long John Silvers and Taco Bells, so that helps.

With BAM only announcing David for the Daytona 500 would tell me that they have not found a permanent driver. That is sort of scary considering the season starting soon. What does this say about BAM? Maybe nothing, but I would think BAM, RGM and Warner Music would be wanting to know the driver line up as the driver is an important part of the sponsorship.

Also I'm thinking this sponsorship is much less then what most full sponsorships are paying. I would not be surprised if there is not a clause stating if the #49 does not qualify then then Warner does not have to pay, or pays less then if they make the race.

Speaks volumes about both and not good for either.

This is real good news for DG, and this will work out of RGM. Can we at least try to be positivie.

Hope I am wrong bud i have a bad feeling about RGM not making a full Nascar run this season.

If sponsorship can be found that would be great. But Robby has said it himself that he'd rather shut the lights off to the shop than be a start and park. With the BAM arrangement in place, even if Robby can't find sponsorship, RGM would survive. It would even give Robby the another car to drive if the #7 is parked. Maybe Robby is getting more serious about his off-road program and the Dakar effort. Driving Nascar on a part-time basis, with Robby running only the races he wants to run, could give him more time to run in other events. We all want to see him win the Indy 500. Driving the #7 part-time would give him more time to prepare and focus for a Indy run. There would be less conflicts with his Nascar schedule to interfere with running the full Score schedule again. Plus, if Robby is really serious about designing a AWD car for the Dakar, or redesigning the current Hummer, this would give him more time to test it. Maybe even a test run, like the Tunisia Rally (Terranova won this event in 2009, Eric Vigouroux finished 7th), or the Silk way Rally (it was a Sainz, Miller, De Villers 1-2-3 in 2009). Beating the VW's at the Silk Way rally would be such sweet revenge. In my opinion, Robby will be racing a lot this year, be it in cup or otherwise. So I'm stoked!

I think RGM's plans aren't anwsered yet. I think after the first 5 races we'll see and know more about what RGM will do. If Robby is sitting inside the Top 25 after 5 races, expect him to do whatever takes to keep it going, but expect him to go all out these first 5 races.

Being a part-timer puts him outside the top 35 and qualifying isn't his strong point. It will make for an awfully long season. I think he has more committed than he's letting on right now. Guess we just have to wait and see.
