To all the Planet Members who will be attending the event, if Robby happens to be making any last minute apperances anywhere, I will be sure to give you all a heads up where he might be appearing. For those that might not already know, the souvenir trailer will NOT be there this weekend. It will return at Daytona,and at Chicago the week after.

I actually think Robby's due for a "Back in Black" weekend and a good showing to go with it, just to show the haters what's up.

Was wondering the same....usually we get announcement & pic by Wed, with it being late Thursday evening I have to wonder will we see another Menard's supplier or will Robby go "Back In Black" or "Moving Forward"....hopefully there's something on the car...practice starts tomorrow so guess we'll find out soon...

Robbys NH car scheme has been up all week long here

Actually, as Robby has said before in many interviews, because he is the driver&owner, he can allocate ALL his prize earnings back into the team to cover the races that are open dates.

So you announced it early this week? Back in Black is a familiar sponsor.

The reality is , there are a few open dates, just like with MANY other teams in the series.

Of course. It's really not a huge deal though. I'm sure Robby wouldn't run if he couldn't afford it.

Look at the RPM cars even, they're having to put Best Buy, Stanley, McDonalds, whoever on the 44 car--and I can guarantee you those aren't fully-paid sponsorship deals like they are with the 19. They even need to put Berlin City Auto Group, which is controlled by team owner George Gillett, on the car this weekend. Just like when Haas is on Ryan Newman's car. In these cases it's the same as Robby running an all-black ride (although clearly Haas Automation and George Gillett have slightly bigger bankrolls than Robby, but it's the same idea).

I assume that's not the "pretty cool thing" that was mentioned on Twitter? :P...

I'm stoked, I love the all black whip--and when he finishes well it'll be all the sweeter.

Pretty cool thing was the return of the member avatars in the Latest Activity column, like the old days, and a new and improved chat room, that doesnt overlap the scrolling and also now has a dedicated page on the top menu bar.
