Frontstretch/Turnbull says Robby is "COLD" this week

I LOL'd when Turnbull said Robby should "place better talent behind the wheel of his own car on the ovals — now known as the Michael Waltrip Theory". We all know the problem with Robby is his equipment. ...don't we?

"Who's Hot / Who's Not in Sprint Cup: Chicagoland Edition

COLD: Robby Gordon – There are two sides of the coin to consider when sizing up Robby Gordon’s venture into team ownership. On the one hand, he has managed to stay in existence by attracting sponsors and running just well enough to stay inside the top 35. On the other hand, Robby Gordon Motorsports seems to have made little progress the past couple of years and is in the top 35 by default, since there really are not enough competitive teams to oust him from that spot. Gordon has only one top 10 this year, choosing not to pit before the rain at Charlotte and finishing 3rd, and regularly totals his race car in a wreck. Maybe Gordon should pick and choose the races he runs (like the road courses) and place better talent behind the wheel of his own car on the ovals — now known as the Michael Waltrip Theory — so his team can move forward.

He can't afford another driver and road courses are no longer the advantage they used to be.

"...regularly totals his race car in a wreck."

Harsh. 5 crash related DNF's in 55 starts. How many of those were the result of getting collected in someone else's wreck? Whatever Turnbull is smokin' he needs to pass it on.
