Hey wilks7 just for conversation and I will take a 20th spot finish got through the day with no issues and back in the top 35, but how do you call going down a lap at Dega AGAIN good strategy, you almost have to try and do that, it could have gone really bad?

I agree with you it worked out, but he showed early on he could run up front, I just wish he would have stayed up there...

I think the strategy was good. Speeding on pit road sucked and ruined it.

good deal he is back in the top 35. richmond is tough, but he has run well there in the past. Needs lead lap finishes.
speeding penalty sucks, but nobody to blame accept himself and nascar does call that rule somewhat consistent.
Good job, the car is in one piece, now i would like to see him qualify top 20 and finish top 20

most crew chiefs remind the driver about the pit road protocol during the stops to overcome the adrenine rush.

Way to go RG! Fought back from the speeding penalty to finish on the lead lap and avoided all the wrecks. That's a great day at 'dega in my book. It's not whether you have problems, but how you overcome them. Robby's been showing consistent progress. Keep it up at Richmond and beyond!
