2019 Robby Gordon Headquarters
Larry Mac mentions Robby during interview...twice
On WJOX Larry McReynolds was asked, what he says is the most common question he gets during interviews, who's your favorite to win this weekend (at Talladega)?
Larry- I would put money on that 24 car. They just seem to be really clicking right now. The thing about that question is every weekend a dozen or so drivers can win. You would have to say the whole Hendrick orgination has a driver than can win it. RCR & EGR run well at plate tracks, Stewart Haas with Tony, Kyle won it last time so JGR can. Then there's a couple of dark horses that always climb into the picture, Regan Smith thought he won it last time and Robby Gordon ran as good as anybody at plate tracks last year. Kenseth won the Daytona 500. This is probably the hardest track to pick a winner. A driver can be leading at the white flag and finish 20th at the checkered, vice versa, a driver can be running 6th and win. This track is notorious for producing first time winners.
What about the "Big One"?
Larry - Of course the "Big One" is always lurking and some drivers like Bobby Labonte, Robby and even Jimmie Johnson last year has taken a page out of Dale Jarrett's old strategy book by running at the back, trying to avoid trouble and charge to the front the last stage of the race, It also is what makes plate racing so popular. Thye intensity is every lap. When you got a few packs of cars running inches apart at over 200 MPH it has all the ingredients of a big wreck. The anticipation of when it will happen is what makes Dega so exciting. I have seen drivers get out of their cars pumping their fist like they won, only because they finished and avoided the wrecks. It is truly a track where surviving is a victory itself.

I like Larry Mac, not only is he the smartest of the FOX crew but he never seems to say a bad word about any driver.

Mike Joy normally always has something to say about Robby. He's gotta be a closet RG fan

I like Larry Mac, the only thing I don't like about him is when he says Roll Tide, if he threw a War Eagle in there every once in a while he'd be even better.

Hey, I miss Bob Jenkins! I became a fan of NASCAR listening to him, with Benny at his side.

Bob makes the IndyCar Series races worth watching!

I disagree, nothing can make Indycrap worth watching. I think Bob would like to call NASCAR races instead of a series that gets 0.2 ratings.

Larry Mac is OK, but somehow we gotta get DW to retire, and make sure Mikey doesn't get his gig. THey need to get an announcer that is different..... maybe somebody from South Central or Compton.... or San Diego, maybe Denver....

I appreciate Larry Macs respect for Robby. I also appreciate the fact that Larry does not have a man crush on Dale Jr. like DW has!
