I think that the race strategy has improved this year ( a few well timed cautions doesn't hurt either). Robby in 30th place overall,105 points ahead of 35th place, 15 pts behind Reed in 29th

21st, good finish. This is getting interesting.

I think Rob is getting better at maximizing his finish irregardless of how well the car is.. just think what he could do with a good handling car.

Well I must say, I've been using trackpass *RACEVIEW*. for the first time this year. This really allows you to see so much more on how Robby is running. I've got to say that when I look at RG's stats for short tracks, it's not that good. But it's not his driving! Robby was really driving a great race. I think that he just has a problem with getting the right car set up for short tracks.

Overall.. great day for RGM! Robby drove is Ass off today and did a great job.

to add on what I ment.... Robby did more passing today than he was getting passed. top 10 cars were faster than he was.. but he just plain OUT-DROVE just about everyone else.

kinda disappointed that a 21st place finish cost us a spot in the points.(went from 29th to 30th)

It does seem kind of screwed up, but the no. of points in front of 35 is better, and so is no. of points from 20.

Nice job today, car looked real strong for the last 50 laps. Hat's off to everyone at RGM.

I know Robby isn't satisfied with 21st but that was one of the best races Robby has ever run at Bristol. Drama -free and a strong car that got better as the race went along. If he had qualified in the top 20 I believe we would've had a top 12 finish today. Good job Robby and crew, lets do the same next week at Martinsville.
