Hi guys, we are back from the track and getting ready for dinner. I confess that I have been drinking a little wine and hope my spelling will pass muster. Robby was pretty unhappy with the car in second practice and I was really worried. During happy hour he started out unhappy and I was still worried. His main complaint was that he had no weight on the left front tire.
He and Kirk discussed a lot of options and Robby was very reasonable.They were calm and the discussions were constructive. Finally near the end of practive they hit on something and Robby said it was the best change they had made to date, and yes, the car looked better and appeared to have better attitude on track. He kept talking about how they had "kicked ass"last year and that bothered him the most. Sadly there is no souvy trailer and Robby isn't making any appearances. I'm hopeful fot both in September.

In the post race interview Vickers threw Spped under the bus, something like "...just because he is so bad in the cup car....". Speed does not present himself very well, I guess Red Bull kills brain cells.

LOL I just watched that..."I don't know if he's frustrated, you know, because he's running so bad in the Cup series..."

Scott seems kind of aloof, to say the least.
