no big deal on the 77, it was just a shot at some extra cash. the 7 is in the show and hopefully it could produce some results, a top 30 would be good. the only good thing about rgm's nascar program is i don't think it can get much worse so hopefully the stock will rise.

Was looking in the store for SpeedEnergy and I came across the new cute little Monster M3 bottle.

Monster M3

Will we see a small SpeedEnergy concentrate bottle?

@TOG I somethings think RGM should just hire the 'planet' for shop, practice, qualifying, and race-time decisions. I think they collectively know more then the folks who are on the ground fighting the battle.

I can see 24x7 chat. Miles post questions on chat:

RG reports tight in and loose off and pitting in five laps, what should we do?.
Only enough funds to run handful of practice laps, where should we get the money to run more laps?
...

Maybe an online poll

this is a great Idea I am sure we could get some good press about this and hey things might even get better with more press and more people drinking speed

Here's to a good run for Wimmer in the #7, a good week for Robby in the Bull Run...and a great kick in the nuts to Mikey POS! lol

But in all seriousness, this is a great marketing opportunity for Speed....get the product into the hands of a lot of people and places...

Here... Here!! I'll toast to that!!! Getting product into the hands of a lot of people with connections in many places and walks of life! Bullrun may not sound all that great, but marketing people from all these teams will be together for the full week! Rob is a people person and should make some good contacts!

I thought the 77 was the backup car to the 7, so why not roll the dice to see if they could get it in the show. Perhaps do this every race, since the backup car is there. If its makes it fine, if not, put it back on the truck.
