Robby doesn't expect to be too fast in qualifying trim.

The car is optimized to run well in the draft, not by itself. Aero, aka fluid dynamics, is a very tricky art...

I was at work all day and when I sneaked a peak at NASCAR.com couldn't believe the big picture of Robby with the caption Robby Wins Practice. All I want to add is that I am sending whatever luck I can possibly send his way for race day because it seems to have been his problem so far this season. Here's hoping for a GREAT race day and a giant leap in the standings.

Robby had a slow qualifying lap, he's poised to start between 35th-40th.. on the bright side, at least he's not running a Dodge as many of the Dodge cars have had motor problems!
