RGM to cut back on Nascar to 50% in 2011?

In the video clip, Robby says Nascar is 80% this year and probably 50% next year of his racing schedule. Robby adds, "That doesn't mean I don't give 100% when I'm behind the wheel."

See the clip here from Showtime:

I looking foward to learning more about Robby's offroad racing. My youngest who's 12 told me last week he want's to build a baja bug for his first rig. I almost started to, well you know what I mean. His biggest hero----Robby. Justin is all about the TT. So I for one hope that Robby does this and am looking foward to.

This clip is from a 'full profile' on Robby on tonight's Showtime Inside Nascar, hope some folks share the info here, as there's no Sho in this household.

Heck, just got SPEED here :) I ditched Comcast after 17 years and their crappy business practices. Can't believe the guy wanted to get into with me when cancelling the service, guess he didn't understand the words, "I'm done".

I agree with you about Comcast.

I am on vacation, so I am not recording it. Maybe it will be "on demand" next week.

I watched it last night and do have it recorded, but no way to put it on the site. It really was a lot more than what was in the clip other than they show some highlights from him being a kid, maybe more video and then asked him questions at the end of the segment.

It was funny though, in the leadup to before talking to him, they had the video of him wrecking when MW took him out and then throwing the helmet at him. Then they played the interview of him saying that MW was a POS and then the camera turned on to the guys with Robby sitting beside MW and some lil' chatter was spoken about the interview.

Asked him how long he was going to do it for and said that he could do it another 4, 6 and even 10 years if he wanted to but would only do it until it is not fun anymore. The day it isn't fun anymore is the day say it is time to do something else.

Sure it will be up but just giving you heads up of what was on there. Also, kinda bummed out that he might only do 15 races next year he said on the cup side. I know it is plans but still wondering what the big plans are for next year after his contract negotiations are up for this year? Maybe leaving Toyota and heading over to Penske to drive Dodges since he did say in the Showtime he wanted to do Indy again if time or the right situation allowed it. I dunno, just have to wait and see I guess.

He was only going to do about 12 races this year (pre- BAM ) , so 15 is a step up.

In addition to the Nationwide and Truck series comment, this would allow for a development program. If RGM wishes to continue as a viable player in NASCAR, start building now. I know it's a business and you have to make $$$, but when it comes down to it, you have to win every once in a while and you have to build your future. KHI works out of a building a fraction of the size of the cup teams, they don't seem to be hurting for $$$$ and have been running and winning. It must happen.
