I know 4th place in a 1000 mile race is nothing to be ashamed of, but it seemed like Robby was headed for another win. Did he put on cruise control and win the War? Doesn't sound like the Robby I know.
I think that the brake issues did drop him in the finish, but at mile 350 Andy had 10 miles or so on him, and that takes alot of effort to make up with only 300 left in the race. Andy Mac is going to be a major player next year in my opinion. Hell, I say put that kid in the 3rd Hummer!!
andy mcmillin had a flawless race, NO FLATS, NO PROBLEMS at all, that combined with a couple of great drivers, andy and scot, = overall,, everybody else like robby had problems , robby was 2nd by rm 490 like 10 miles behind andy, riky jhonson and roger norman were like 10 miles behind robby , then rg made that long pit stop that allow RJ and roger norman to go by him and gain more than 10 miles of advantage over robby, so, that was it,. thats why he didnt won.
Simpson hill is hard enough in the day, 10 times worse at night. They are the CHAMPS and there is no dening it. With money getting tighter it isn't likely we'll see a 20-30 TT .
