It does look good but that #47 seems even better. Ambrose only turned 4 laps to Robby's 11. Thanks for all the practice clips btw.

Single lap session, yes, multilap session, nope, Robby will run a safe lap and then go for it. I am looking forward to the race.

Me too, based on the practice times and the new sponsor and whatnot on the car.

looks like RG overdrove turn #2 , and that basically killed his lap. 22nd not bad, considering almost everybody thought he would end up 40th after only outrunning 2 cars at that point of qualifying.

From the last 25 races at the Glenn here's a brief rundown...

Races won from Pos. No 1.........9
Races won from Pos. No 2.........2
Races won from Pos. No 3.........4
Races won from Pos. No 4.........1
Races won from Pos. No 5.........1
Races won from Pos. No 6.........1
Races won from Pos. No 7.........1
Races won from Pos. No 11........1
Races won from Pos. No 12........1
Races won from Pos. No 13........3
Races won from Pos. No 14........1
Races won from Pos. No 18........1

Nobody has ever won from beyond 18th. Steve Park did it (18th starting spot) in 2000. 15 of 25 wins have come from P1 to P3.

well i don't think this stat is going to be very informative for this race. Lot's of good drivers and cars Qual'd pretty bad today. They stated on the show that this is the first qualifying session for the COT as all the others have rained out + different tires this time. A good percentage of the people that laid down that 1 good lap will not be able to keep that consistancy for the entire race and someone will be there to pass them everytime..

This is also the first race here with the double-file restart. That'll change things up some.

Or it will be even more successful since there will be more leaders to pass each time. Could go either way. We'll see.

Not a HP issue at all. Robby said he got way loose , and it killed the lap. Thats it.

The list added up to 26 races HeHe........What am I still doing home?

not down on HP at all. RG said car was bigtime loose,thus killed the lap.

Awesome, RG can get the win from the furthest back in the field.
