Who's the new spotter?

Fatboy calls into "Tradin' Paint" most Thursdays to update the Sirius listenters as to what the buzz is at the race track. Today, he announced he's no longer with RGM. He said its due to "sponsorship problems" at RGM - anyone know anything else?

Sounds like Robby's cash flow is hurting. I would not put it past him to have Baja Bob or try one of the engineers again from here on till the end of the season.

Yeah, put Bob out there spotting and I can imagine the complaining from RG then. Not that Bob can't do it but let's hear him take the abuse that Fatboy took.

Fatboy was doing a mediocre job the last 3 or 4 races, and you could hear it in Robbys voice that he wasn't happy with his spotting( go ahead an listen to the replays I have available )

Fatboy spotted off and on since the 500. Fun to listen to his call on the last lap. sadly,its called not getting results in a very tight economy

Doesn't matter what position a person is in, if they don't make some changes they will get the same results. Maybe it's time to replace everyone and start over.
