I don't know if Darlington will bite him or not, Beagle. He's really careful and always uses his turn signal. lol

They are swapping the 35th and 36th spots for now, but if they are not careful David Stremme is going to catch them and be in the top 35 by the begining of june.

Hopefully it will be another good race for Robby and we can keep climbing in the owners points!

I am beating a dead horse with this one but here goes....

What is the point of the S&P cars? Last year when the phenomenon began many of teams commented that they were trying to gain the awareness of sponsors through their qualifying efforts. Now NASCAR is making these cars run as much as the race as possible. Hats of to Tommy Baldwin's team and Casey Mears with their 13th starting spot and 26th place finish only 1 lap down. Now the 36 team comes into Darlington with no sponsor. If this is the case, what hope does the 32, 64 and 46 teams have to get sponsorship? Personally, I think that if Nemechek can't get a sponsor after his SOLID qualifying runs, then these other teams have NO chance. I know that the members of these teams have jobs and that is why the do it, but unfortunately it is time to look for a new career path becuase these teams cannot last. Not to mention the fact that Kevin Harvick and Kasey Kahne are looking for sponsors next year. Any big name out there looking to sponsor a car will certainly look that way first.

Blame the economy all you want, but look at the points. The rich keep getting richer. Too bad the COT did not work as intended to help out the less funded teams.

That's all I got for now. Just had to get it off my chest.

I think the question is how much better would these teams be if they had full sponsors. Would it make that much difference. These S&P cars are there for a pay check not to run races. I now sure sponsorship would make them any better, but I do wonder how much of a improvement if any would it make to RG and his team. Would we be able to see a improvement on the track? Any thought out their?

Just a reminder,Derek Cope has a couple of Cup winners, the rest not so much.
Before you start shit talking,how many Cup drivers have no wins or one win?

I saw , in person, Derrike Cope, DOMINATE, Dover back in 1990, for a well deserved victory.
