Personally I'd like to see some rain on saturday- just enough to force the use of rain tires. See how well RG can run with 'em.

better hope that rain isn't during qualifying or else Robby won't race at all.

So is PJ actually going to race this weekend of just get a paycheck from nascar?

Pits strategy will determine who will win the race. We know Robby will be fast enough. Let's hope he does not get burned by cautions at the wrong time.

90 laps..pit window is 31-33 laps...a true 2 stop race (unlike the fuel dependent Sonoma).

Lap 28 -30 (hope for no cautions from laps 20-30), and lap 57 or 58 (depending on your fuel mileage) and again, hope for no cuations from lap 50 on...

an ill timed caution just before thos pit windows will throw off the strategy and make for an interesting race....

and Robby..pit when Tony pits!!!!! lol

Win the pole. Everything else will fall into place.

Copy that.....

Thats the thing. Getting the chance to win the pole would be nice. The main reason (I think) Robby hasn't won here of late is that he always has to start near the back.
Being able to start up near the front would be massive.
NO RAIN PLEASE!

No rain today. I promise.

Robby shouldn't even see Stremme during the race unless he's putting him down a lap.

????? we were in it this year...lol. the rules for making that race have changed. Poles don't matter. A win does get us in the All Star Race, however.
