Who's the cup sponsor of the day?

**Disclaimer** This is a gentle, all in good fun poke at the "Who's the Cup Sponsor this week?" thread that I so dread on a weekly basis. It is not intended to make anyone mad. I'm just a sarcastic, smart ass girl who had a funny idea while drinking a Dr. Pepper.

Here's whats in the cup. Everyday, rain or shine.

So..today will it be cup sponsor #1, Shakepeare's Pizza? Shakespeare's has a multi-day, semi-exclusive contract… Read More

Engineering Blog is Back

Welcome one and all back to the engineering blog....For those of you who don't know, I used to do one on the Uprising when I used to work as an engineer at RGM. I don't work there anymore, but the masses have spoken, so I am bringing it back.

Thought I'd start with a little diddy about tires since they were such an issue this week. The obvious question would be "How did they miss it so bad?" Unfortunately I have no idea. They obviously tire tested there, so it baffles me. I have been… Read More

A few weeks ago I was doing some serious purging of my closets and dresser drawers. While sorting and stacking I came across a startling fact-I own at least 29 Robby Gordon T-shirts. Sad, but oh, so true.

What does this include, you may ask? Well...

3 Fan club t's, 2 double duty t's, one seriously bootlegged RuR shirt,3 Dakars. One rally for Robby, one bought off of ebay from a former employee that STILL smells like… Read More

Who was Best RGM Crew Chief? The numbers may surprise you...

So, I'm sitting here after the frustration that was Indy, and I decided to crunch some numbers to see who has been the best crew chief performance wise Robby has ever had. I only included results that racing reference listed as RUNNING.

1. The best was Mean Gene Nead.

14 races(running) with RGM - Average Finish of 22.7 including a top 5 at Watkins Glen and a 10th at Dover. Gene seemed to be a master with the COT and seemed to be the only guy that didn't let Robby try to be Rusty… Read More

Reasons why Robby should go to Montreal.

Last year many of us witnessed a tragedy. Our boy Robby was about to win his first Nascar race of any kind since 2004. That seemed likely to occur until he was spun under yellow by the #59 Ford of Marcos Ambrose. So, Robby decided to be Robby and line up 2nd despite what Nascar told him and wreck Ambrose and proclaim that he had won the race. He then continued to do burnouts as the race winner. That was all funny as hell, but the fact was that Nascar said Robby did not win the race, and they… Read More

CHANGE YOUR DAMN AVATARS!!!

Okay...so that there is no reason anyone can't or won't change their avatar from POS to something a little more socially acceptable. I have taken the time to help the "lap down" members by giving a step by step instruction of HOW to change your avatar. I have changed the name of the blog to something a little more clear to the members who have not taken the hint.
