Robby was cool with me today.

As I was driving by the "OFF ROAD" shop today I slowed down to see if I could see anything interesting. This was interesting. Robby came out to load the local catering truck with SPEED. I got out out of my rig to just say hello and talk about the Baja results. He walked me over to his personal Hummer and handed me 3 cans of SPEED. This was so cool. Made my day.

RG is actually very relaxing to be around. I thought I was going to be a nervous wreck too when I met him for a contest I won, but he is very easy going and treats you like a friend! I wish other drivers were as friendly as he was.

I met Bowyer down at the Lake of the Ozarks last summer on one of the Cup off weekends. He was very relax. Introduced himself to us! Talked to his buddy on their boat for awhile. Very cool. He was rocking the "Port of North Carolina" on his boat. Kasey K has frequented that part of the lake a lot also.

got to meet robby in the garage area at vegas this year. as i walked over just to check out his hauler he stopped talking to whoever it was to say hi to me and carry on a short conversation, and also gave me some speed drinks. way cool! after the second practice that day i watched him get out of his car and get everyone who was at the neon garage window either their autograph or picture they wanted. he didnt leave until every fan was taken care of. good job robby!!!

Did the hauler at the Glen a few times he signed a flag i had made. However I think I may have seemed like a bit of a nut as I told him of the idea to raise a "red 7" flag along with an American one in the pocono infield with a

But with the fly over and all and some sober thought we figured getting on TV was not worth it when you consider my track record of things that went wrong. As I told him he looked at me like I had a beard of bees who could blame him i was going on my fourth day with no shower. However there is no reason we can't have a really high "flag pole" at the campground this year. Who is meeting?

"looked at me like I had a beard of bees", priceless man! Dont forget, Robby frequents the infield parties with fans. I'm guessing he's heard more than a few "impared" rants. Great stories Mikes!

It looked very stock...white in color with his logo on the receiver hitch cover. But maybe it was not a Hummer. Maybe it was a Toyota FJ Cuiser. It was small. The back doors opened up and out came ICE COLD SPEED.
