Robby REALLY needs to finish this race in one piece...becuase the 71 will be dead last of the cars that dont get wrecked out/stat and park

Over the past couple of races Robby has gone down the time sheet as the weekend has progressed. Not sure why. He just doesn't seem to be picking up as much as most of the others. I was expecting him to start mid 20s here after practice but qualifying always seems to bite him.
Still, tomorrow is what counts so lets hope for a good handling car and most of all a strong rear end gear...

I think RG likes to start near the back and then falls back to the rear and starts picking them off, that way he knows who he has behind him and doesn't get nailed from behind from some overly aggresive doof from the middle of the feild.

Watch the truck race. One groove track all day long on the bottom. Track has no rubber in it at all. Everyone that ran the top fell back 5 to 6 spots. Going to be a bumpy race tomorrow.

I agree, I have a feeling there will be lots of wrecks and restarting on the inside could be the difference of about 5 spots. I have a good feeling that Robby will have a good solid top 25 finish.
