Kentucky Entry List

I am too lazy to put in all the drivers, plus I realize that is someone else's job.

But it was a nice surprise to see Wimmer entered with the 77.

People are actually excited about another car being there to start and park?

I think excited about the potential extra $$$$ for RGM.

I'm excited and hope that two cars make the show. So they will have more $$$$ to spend on engeering, tires, gas, whatever they need to race more and/or to be more competitve.

I'm not convinced that putting RG in the #77 is the better move, but then it's not my car to play with. Wimmer did put up decent times at Charlotte (faster than RG in the #7 as I recall) but wasn't quite fast enough. With the smaller field at Kentucky he should be able to make it. Its not like RG has a history as a great qualifier in Cup...ah well.

From an RG fan POV, I'm just looking forward to Watkins Glen....

He tends to be lights out when he needs to get in on time. If they need to take two rounds out and let him play skidpad all the way around he can get fast. Remember what happened the last time he was outside the top 35 and let someone else qualify? Pocono is still in his head. If he wants both in, he'll get the 77 in.
