@Bob,I'm guessing that when Bruno made the graphic's,he just put a 7 on the number plate.Nothing subliminal.

Just my guess... Robby might be putting Fast Five decals on the car out of appreciation this weekend. (No money, just some sponsor lovin). I'm sure that shows a sponsor the class Robby has and his association with companies. Who knows when they release the DVD this Fall they might come back for a few races, or look at other ways to promote with Robby & SPEED.

I know Robby mentioned the last two years there was races with sponsors on the hood, but it was out-of-pocket races. He kept Jim Beam on for an extra race or two I believe also. Always good to polish bridges rather than burn them!

Makes sense cause RGM has cars that are wrapped already with FastFive. Use them all until the cars are all banged up. Could have put the 07 on the side of one & have Hornish try to Qualify it, if Horinsh wanted seat-time. The RGM head-quarters is near by, kinda close..lol. GasOn Robby!

To start gas on robby, you cant go wrong with a pin it to win it attitude. We know he has the ponies under the hood and the driving talent to wheel a car, but as a fan it is really getting old seeing him in the back. Just a thought buy a Penski chassis and run it, are they making them flex for better handling. Is the shock package not working, something is missing. I know it takes a lot of money to make a fast/ handling race car but there has to be a time to clear the chalkboard and start a new. During qual. at Darlington he was the only car with the rt rear sticking way out, I understand the thinking but he was the only one running that way. Its ok to do things your own but when you do and they dont work its time to follow to learn how to get better. I will be a RG fan for live its just getting hard to watch him struggle in the back week after week.

RALLY FOR ROBBY... AGAIN! I think as fans we should all message, email, Tweet or however how fed up we are as fans to NASCAR. Reports are coming from all media, and straight from Juan Pablo Montonya's mouth, that Ryan Newman punched Juan during a heated discussion (are you ready for this) in front of NASCAR officials in the NASCAR hauler! So, if what I read is correct, Robby Gordon gets a year long probation for "alledgedly" hitting Kevin Conway, but Ryan Newman hits Juan in front of NASCAR and nothing! Of by the way, Juan didn't call the police either. Time to let NASCAR know were tired of our driver being screwed!

You don't get it do you? Ryan Newman and JPM didn't press charges so there was no need for Nascar to get involved. Kevin Conway cried to Nascar and the cops and forced Nascar's hand.....they HAD to do something. Nascar was protecting Robby by responding.

Zoom,being screwed and bad decisions are 2 totally separate things......

Hate to risk being labeled as a bitcher again but I have to agree with this one.
Not saying replace all your cars with an off the shelf car from another source but at least get one and see if it is better or easier to tweak to your liking.

where's no reason to analyse this weekends car,it only needs to make 4 points to stay in the top 35 and is still on one set of tires.Load a straight racecar in the hauler,take the start money, give the guys at the shop a chance to build some new inventory.

I'm pretty sure Mr. Penske is not selling chassis out of the back of his shop. You are not going to spend Millions of dollars developing a chassis to sell it to a competetor to be reverse engineered.

Yeah...no one does that.. only Rick Hendrick, Richard Childress, and Jack Roush.....
Permalink Reply by Scott C on May 7, 2011 at 12:31pm
You don't really believe Hendrick, Childress, or Roush would sell Robby a chassis "same as what they got" do you?
