not going to pickup a second this late in a practice session. The top 20 teams ran their fast laps at the very start of practice.Look at all the last lap times, they are in the 171-172 range for the top teams.

yeah, it was a big improvement from where he was at the start of Happy Hour. End on a good note.

As long as RG doesn't over drive the car [keep it off the wall] and Gene can keep up with the slippery track, we should get high 20 finish at the minimum tomorrow and move up a little in the standings.

Cool that JV made the race, I didn't expect him too.

The biggest news for RG this weekend appears to be Stremme and Go Go Gilliland not qualifying for the race.

At least RG turned more laps that Joe Nemecheck in final practice...

emphasis here should be on ''bad pitstop"

yes, especially the first pitstop. The first pitstop is always the flop.

I really think what robby needs tomorrow is just a clean uneventful race to get his/the teams moral up. If he does that and they have good pitstops a top 25 will come by its self because he has shown the car is pretty strong. I think we all can agree that the absolute last thing robby needs is another wrecked car.
