Wounded Duck...your screen name fits. What is all this about the South!

I have to wonder why this news would leak with Robby over seas? someone at the shop? speculation? or can we expect to see a jaysi follow up : DENIED: RGM denies the team will switch to Toyota in 2009 (RGM).

Robby isn't over seas. Several weeks to go before he needs to be in Argentina. He's likely spending most of his time close to the off-road shop, and testing in the desert.

I think most people would be up for trying anything at this point....

This sounds great. I'm no expert but all I can say is when I spent the CA race on pit road, I saw pleny of Toyota racing personnel in their respective pits. And in Robby's pit....it was pretty much the crew and the janitor.

Bud Shootout is worth not dropping. Especially how good RG did last year on plate tracks.

I think RG could Ride along with Penske it would be good. RG likes Kurt but Is still on the fence with Hornish.

However, the 12 car creates wiggle room for Roger and RG because they are set for 3 cars. If I were RG I would tell roger to break out some of those wicked mother fucking qualifing engines and let RG get a pole or two... Who cares if he has to pull the engine and start in the back... After the first caution he will be in the top 15.

It seems Stremme is easy to get along with as well. Why does RG have problems with Hornish? He's about as white bread as it gets.

Sam isn't all sweetness and sunshine. Kinda a Matt Kenseth type. Seems dull and white bread but will stab ya in the back. Plus, he's a pretty closed off dude. At least that was the scuttlebutt when Sam was in the IRL.
