Bob, It is fans like you who make the glass is half empty type of people look cheery. The 2 and the 7 did not spend a lot of time in practice together because the 2 felt sorry for the 7. They have the same engines so you could assume they have similar horsepower. The only reason the 7 was fast was because of the 2? Robby has been racing this track for 20 years, he always get to the front. Always. Even with a smaller budget he gets up there. Do not doubt the man.

If you listened to the scanner during the duals he did not give up at all. His attitude is that of a fighter. He said many times "go see if *blank* wants to go win this I will push him to the front" The man was frustrated but not quiting. As we saw during todays practice many teams adopted the edge the nose out to cool down stratagy that Robby used during the 150. So chances are Robby wont win (like 41 other cars chances are) and you can proclame you were right, but in reality you are not.
A big problem with trying to find a dance partner is the spotter's stand. They're spread out across two sections. If you want to hook up with driver Y, his spotter may be at the other end 100 yards away.
@WJM, are you say'n it's a good thing Robby does'nt have Fatboy as his spotter this Daytona?!
I read the article on NASCAR.com and some spotters were running all the way over to the other stand to make deals, causing them to lose sight of their driver briefly.
So are they going to make the Harris Teeter white lettering? Or maybe some white stencil behind the black letters? The black on orange was next to impossible to see from a distance during the duals.
Just for fun...a few concept schemes...



Those are not Dodge Chargers
picky picky
LOL!! That Kevin Harvick Roast was a HOOT!!
Lame
I saw many years ago at a race where the spotters had runners going to other teams to relay messages about "deals". Don't know how much room there is up there, what credentials you need to be up there (now you need a friggen shit sample to go where NAZICAR will let you) but in the end all in all if 43 (okay less since some are not here to win) had a second member moving around would it work? It was working at a race a fair amount of time ago.............hey TOG take credit for asking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
