Robby hits the wall in final practice.

Being somewhat new to racing, what happens now that Robbie did damage to his Race car during practice. Does he fix it tonight before the race tommorow? Does he have to start at the back?

He'll get it fixed. It's not an impound race so they can work on it overnight. Only have to start at the back if you change an engine or bring out a backup car after qualifying.

Also since you are new, the correct way to spell his name is Robby ( with a Y ) .

They will get it fixed in time. I am just glad he picked it up in happy hour.

they got plenty of time to get it situated. I wouldn't even worry.

Robby hit wetspots on the turn , thats why the car scrubbed the wall. Damage was only cosmetic, and no backup car will be needed. This is the word from RG.

I usually roll over to avoid the wetspot.

I'm glad he didn't need to use flour to find it ;-)

Running the high line that he does I'm sure he'll bump it again during the race. He did it last year in 3 and 4

It's hard to believe he can never roll the bottom through the corner at tracks like this.... shit like this still baffles me!

It all depends on setup and aero. The good side to running high is that when you hit the wall, you tend to slap it and not arc into it reducing the impact.
