7 and the 13 worked well today. They needed to try to get back to the front earlier but it was a nice "team" effort.

yes with pairs of two you cannot wait as late as you used to be able to when they had 3 trains of 5 or 6 cars

Robby had a decent car today and stayed out of trouble. Over all, not bad - not great. When you rely on the 13 of Casey Mears for a decent finish you will probably end up disappointed.

really that is not nice... Casey was great on the radio all day with Robby and if anyone was the one to hold back to stay out of trouble it was Robby. Casey would have gone anytime I think Robby wanted and they were fast together maybe not fast enough but they were hoping for a yellow with 5 ,4,3,2 to go and it did not happen... well it almost happened with blaney and had he not saved it they would have gotten what they wanted.... so do not bash Casey he had opportunities to bail on Robby and he did not

It's crazy how we all get excited over a top 20 finish. It is what it is.......right? Sucks we didn't have a better car or a better partner...

I'm glad he didn't wreck, but I'm not excited. Not like "Keith Stone" who posts Robby's earnings every week.

Sean - Or like you who isn't happy with a Top 20 at a track where you can finish or 43rd easily....and criticizes others on here. Focus on YOUR comments and not so much of others....

Rather be RG right now than Kyle Bush as the 18 was in the hauler at the end....

Just sayin.....
