I don't like the points ahead that seems to be looking in the wrong direction, I like the fact that we are 31 points out of 31 and 95 points from 29........

So, what are you saying? Of all the teams that suck, RGM sucks the least?

all that I'm saying is that its hard to pass someone when all you are watching is the rear view mirror

RG is already 136 points behind the 25th spot....its going to be hard for RG to catch up and finish in the top 20 in points every race they get spread out farther and farther....by no means its not out of the question but other teams are going to need some of RG bad luck

With a couple of really solid finishes (like top tens), Robby would be right in the thick of things. People are still jumping around a lot. Look how far Mark Martin has moved up just in the last couple of weeks.

The fact that RGMs new car was decently competitive in its first outing should be a sign to fans that this team is very capable of moving forward. No one should should panic at this point. Finishes will come with competitive cars and a suddenly very quick pit crew.

TOG, any word out of RGM if they will be using a new in house COT for Phoenix?

Im not sure you can calculate how many on track positions RGM is ahead or behind its competition, since the points spread between positions changes as you go further down the finishing order...
