Montreal Mode

Robby Gordon will run the #07 Mapei/Menards Toyota in the Nationwide series this weekend at Montreal. Robby will have to qualify in on speed, but they do use rain tires in case it gets wet. They also use the 'timed' group qualifying session, so Robby will be able to run a 'safe' lap before giving it a go on his latter laps. This will be a full race effort. Clear your weekend schedule!

Ooh a new # from his original 55. Maybe this can bring a different outcome for Robby next weekend.

Hopefully there will be 43 or less cars entered so he can focus on race trim only during the practices but with the group qualifying as you said TOG he can put a safe one down then go balls to the wall and hope for a top 5 starting spot.

I'm thinking a little dig at the NW #7, and staking a claim a bit.

Which would be bad-ass.

I thought about the staking a claim thing. Makes sense since it is available to keep numbers similar.
