Just watched the video of yesterday's race on RaceDezert. They interviewed RG and he said they broke the timing belt. He didn't think the belt broke on it's own, but maybe something in the valve train caused it to break.

Mechanical issues...hope they get to the root cause of these as they seem to be more common over the last year in cup and off-road.  Lots of hard work, prep, and heart put into these efforts, to not be able to compete.  With so many different venues and the short prep times in between, what is being missed, if anything?

Fact is that the failure rate is pretty high as of late. Sometimes we must first finish......

Robby broke Saturday, but was kickin ass before it all went away. He chose not to race today and headed home. See you in parker Robby and then Nascar. Good luck this year.
