Kasey Kahne and Hendrick

If robby allowed hendrick to take the 7 car and points for kasey next year in exchange for 3 year technical data exchange package. I think he would have a good shot at attracting menard back along with paul driving. RGM would have 2 cars full time and a 3rd car for robby at selected races for 2011 daytona road courses etc. , allowing robby to try his other races DAKAR, Monster Truck, Score, rally car, and Indy 500. then continue as associate to hendrick for next 2 years with robby driving 7 again and paul still in 98. This would be perfect for RGM long term future. its obvious this year rgm is behind on building a competitive chasis. This would help him attract more sponsorship with sponsors knowing hendrick is helping. this also gets all of his equipment under the chevy band wagon.

Is this even a possibility? trust me I want to see robby running full nascar schedule 2011 but I don't think he has a chance to be competive anymore unless he gets together with a super team.

Why is menard a pipe dream. Menards is already shopping sponsorship and paul to childress for next year. to be childress 4th car but richard has said in past months he does not like having 4 cars he is happy of progress with 3 teams

given how well they're doing this year, hard to blame RCR for staying at 3 teams.

At the end of the day, I think we all agree RGM needs some help. We all want to see robby succeed and not fail. Hell he has done this from day 1 with little support. But just look at the top 20 everyone one of those teams is from one of the powerhouse teams. I would rather see robby get aboard with someone than keep struggling. I hate hearing robby say "this team just sucks" like he did after chicago. We are all with Robby and support him. Robby is going to win watkins glen but even that isnt enough to keep the team for the whole year next year. In all honesty I think we are all suprised he has raced as many races he has this year with out being a start and park. He is the last real racer owner out there we will probably ever see in nascar due to the cost it takes now.

But you are forgetting something: Robby formed his company because thats what he wants to do. Lets just leave it at that.

I think ,sometimes we expect more from what this team is able to achieve.They are ,after all on a limited budget,and I at times forget that.You can only wring so many pennies from a dollar ,and RGM seems to do that well.If everyone at the shop and track give 100% ,and RGM get treated as fair as all other drivers by Nascar,that is all we can ask for.Gas on!
