How about the top 43 race?

I cannot wait to hear. It is a balance of 43 cars and limiting S&P cars.

How about if you don't bring a full pit crew and don't buy enough tires for the weekend, you don't get to race!

GO ROBBY GO!!

P.S. It feels very good to be disappointed with 16th.

it sucked to listen to all the negativity. He had a good ca, some decent stops early on, but thats just the way ot goes.

he was running slower laps at the end of the race anyways, im surprized he placed 16th, not Disapointed, but surprized.
he had a car that was capable of top 10, with about 100 to go, but other cars were gaining speed

Ya it was pretty bad out there. Robby did a great call on the tire pressure, but I still don't understand who made the call on the No brake fans or bead blowers. These are tools the driver can use to make the car run better on the fly. Like the brake bias.

Makes since.............. but other top 10 teams were running them. I'm just confused. Is this just a way to simplify the car? Loose for the first 10 to 15 laps because no heat in the tires. Ahhhh, I'm just over analyzing. Robby and Kirk are still trying to understand each other.

Felt good to watch a race and know robby is constantly running in the top 15 at the midway point. Great Run.. Momentum Builder.

It was a great run for the team but NASCRAP had to throw water on it by pulling the 7 in for post race teardown per the scanner. Does anyone know how the inspection went?

Post-race inspection done. All clear. Officials taking the engines of 9, 29 & 7 back to R&D center for normal inspection. From Dustin Long's Twitter

That was fun to watch.
I watched the Trucks earlier and thought Robby was going to be to sore for the night race.
Great to see, car looked nice to.
I never heard the result of the Baja after the fines were resolved. Did Robby get credited with the win?

Robby hated the car for the first part of the race...........Said over the radio the only way the team could fix his handling issues was to get him a new car! It came good though.

He droped 4 lbs out of the tires and 2.5 rounds of wedge. Thats not a small ajustment.
