Well so much for road courses giving this team an advantage. Looks like they screwed up the road course cars. Starting in the back Robby will use the car up, we will now need some good luck to have a decent finish.
Thats the exception, not the norm....JPM started way back and won as well. But its silly to expect 30th place starters will be winning at road courses on a regular basis.
Hey all the guys-girls on here complaining and moaning---please take it down a notch. This is a one lap qualifying run---no traffic, no strategy, no setting somebody up going into a corner. Look, the other Gordon is in GREAT equipment, has won 9 road course races, etc, etc. and he will be starting around 15th. Calm down everybody---Robby will tear through the field. We just have to hope that no talentless drivers don't take off his fenders
Robby will need some cautions as the leaders will get away and unless you tighten the field up he will get stuck around 8th and be using his car up just trying to hold his ground. I hate to say it but Sunday will be a long frustrating day. And at the end of the day it will come down to fuel mileage which RGM has never, ever had good luck with. Its not Robby's driving style to fuel mileage race.
