Jim Beam is the sponsor, and this is the debut of the new chassis that Robby wanted to run at Atlanta, so better late than never!

So what did he run at Atlanta The Famed.. Trophy Truck Chassis? Do we have a name for the new one?

sorry, but no secret weapons. Just a nicely bult car.The term TTCOT is null and void.

He deserves a lot of credit for doing all of this himself. It's just like the Frank Sinatra song "My Way"
That's what we love about Robby.

Shame Mr. Menard never got his smoke grenades straightened out. Would have been very cool to see Robby getting a Restrictor Plate Pole with the announcers saying, that awesome Menard's Power...lol.

what position will Robby qualify? Does it matter if one qualifies in the beginning, middle or end?

Thanks

The qualifying draw isn't until 12 ET today, so we won't know what position he goes out to qualify until after then.
