What do you all think about Robby's 2010 plans?

It sounds like Robby may not be running the full cup schedule, and that may disappoint alot of Robby's hardcore nascar fans. But what he plans on doing during his "off-weeks" has me absolutely excited. Robby says he is looking hard at running the Indy 500!! That alone would be awesome. But add in running the X-games rally race, building and (hopefully) running a monster truck, and running the Baja 500 & 1000. That is unbelievable. I am definitely looking forward to what 2010 will bring us as Robby Gordon fans, and I think it was worth the wait. What do you think??

His biggest problems last year were getting caught when someone else ran out of talent and weird mechanical issues. In spite of these, he still finished in the top 35.

Q in 30's 2 tenths of of the pace shows just how tight the field is. Hopefully with a second opinion and car we can pick up those 2 tenths.

if it gets his brand out whatever.

I'm still betting when all is said and done, RG will have made his fortune in the "Robby Gordon Racing Experience" video game. I guess it will have a monster truck level now. With all his fans in Mexico and South America, they better make a spanish language version.

The sole purpose of monster trucks is to entertain and not so much about racing. NASCAR used to be about racing but now they care too much about entertainment and it's taken less seriously as an automotive sport.

I don't care too much about monster trucks, but like I said it's sole purpose is to entertain people.

I am not a monster truck fan either, but if anyone is going to build a Monster monster truck - Robby is the man. Monster trucks draw in a whole new demographic and a lot of youngsters who like those 'big' trucks. There was a monster-type truck version of Carl Edwards car on display at one of the NASCAR races we went to and it got a lot of attention (we took a picture of it, too ;-). And having a Monster monster truck sitting outside the RGM shop would be pretty cool!!

If he is having fun and has a new Kid market to bring to Nascar, rally, dakar, Indy, score......or anything else he drives, sponsors will know as fans will follow.

He is going to be bigger than Danica after a few years .....watch. those kids grow up

Daytona 500, Indy 500, Dakar, Baja 1000, Does it get any bigger than this. This is why I am a Robby Fan and always will be. Give'em hell this year Rob, I'm on board for the ride.

Maybe they'll have a Monstor Truck event the same weekened as Indy and you can do the double.
