Did I tell you GENE NEAD was the man or what?

Great team effort by RGM, surely it wasn't one person. But for all those who thought I was crazy, please send all cards to Garrett John Gleason Old Forge PA.

Lol. Anyway, wasn't able to join y'all in the chat today, but I actually TEARED up when I heard Gene Nead was calling the shots today, so could someone explain to me how enemies became friends and RG and he got back together?

Btw, as we all know, I am Gene's biggest fan and would like someone at RGM to get me an autograph of the big guy and send it to me for all the schemes I did.

Gene = top 20. I love that man. I miss hearing "Nice and smooth bud." What a great day today is!

Thanks for posting that, I wasn't able to listen either and I was wondering the same thing

Agreed, Cow. My impression was that Gene said - "Dude, I'd love to help, but I'm not coming back to have a driver over-rule my every decision. You want me to call race strategy, then let me call it and don't give me any sh*t.

Early in the race Gene got to make his calls (which were different than what RG wanted), and they were the right calls, so I think he got the drivers respect. I'm talking about "pit now" when RG wanted to stay out and possibly lead a lap (and keep the 34 from leading a lap) and his shut up and drive the car call after the blown 2nd pit stop (which took 20 seconds).

And, like you said, its probably all wishful thinking on my behalf, but that's how my head wants to put it together.

It was great!!! Gene was like, this is what we are doing! Only the last pit stop he gave in after Robby literally begged him to let him pit. It was really really awesome.

Everyone deserves a round of applause for the effort. No one this team gives up, you rise as one and you fall as one. Tonight was a very positive thing, and there will be more to come. Trust me, it's Robby, it will always be exciting!

Was Gene on the radio? All updates from BAM were from Stanley.
Gene was asked by one of the media folks, if he was back w/ RG... he said no... 'he's a truck racer now'??? I can't keep up w/ all the CC's, is he CC for a truck team?

Yeah I say that too on Twitter last night: @CandiceSpencer: Asked Gene Nead if he was back with the Robby Gordon band...he said, "No, I'm a truck racer now."

I didn't know he was going to be calling the shots, but I was pleasantly surprised when I heard Gene's voice. It all paid off too!
