Yep,Kevin would be good. I'm thinking ExtenZe needs a cashiers check for 250k written to RGM for a complete race.

Extenze sounds like a very loyal sponsor; would be a real plus to have one car fully funded for a whole year with a driver who can keep it clean (at a minimum - and hopefully would improve). Or act now to claim a share of this year's ROY $.

AHHH, Karen, how much does ROY pay? and is there any one else who'll be ROY? Kevin does'nt need to drive for the rest of the year and he'll be ROY.Personally I'd take ExtrenZe slammed check and put Kevin in a car at a price. In the end all ROY winner's have the same thing in common,happy hour beer is $2.

The 7 (RGM) is only 161 owner points to the good. Conway used owner points to makes most races

this year after the first 5 races. If he was in the 7, by years end, RGM is out of the top 35. Conway

does bring $ to the table, but would never make a race on speed, only owner points.

You're actually confident the #7 won't be out of the top 35, regardless of who is driving?

Yes, true, but the 26 and 38 finish, at best, a few spots ahead of Conway. Sometimes they finish worse. 161 points is a lot when you run right about the same. Now, if he were to finish 38-43 quite a few times, you're right, he would fall out. But, looking at the majority of his finishes (28-34), I think they would be ok. Hell, send him on tests every other week. That's the only way you get better. Showing up at a track you've never seen in cars you've never raced is setting yourself for failure. Take him to unsanctioned tracks every other week or every 3 weeks that are similar just to get a feel for the cars.

My two cents on the matter. I'm not too optimistic it will unfold at all, but seems like it could be a real win-win for RGM as a whole. He needs 2 teams to take a step above 28-35 place finishes.

I say Robby in the 07 and PJ in the 7, same program as last week, put it on the board.

Ok now I highly doubt he is refering to RGM but recently Bill Lester has been tweeting about a Cup owner calling him to do some races. Here is what he has been saying...

Got a call from a cup team owner to drive for them for a few races this year. I'm not sure if I want to take it or not yet. #NASCAR

The team runs most of it's races and makes a fair amount of races. Not sure how they are on sponsorship now but seems to be almost done now.

They park some and race some. There on track preformance has gotten better all year and have great horsepower under the hood.

He also sent a tweet out to @Planetrobby before he tweeted those above.

I didnt think so but I just found it interesting with the 07 not having a driver yet.

As a side note, I've been told the folks at TRG love Bill Lester when TRG was getting their Truck program up and going. Just what I heard.
