This is cool. How many of us would like to have a job where we could take a week off and go run the Bullrun? Yes, Toyo might be involved, and yes, he might sell more Speed. However, Robby stated multiple times that he wanted to do more racing than the grind of the NASCAR schedule. I am, actually, envious of Robby and this is why I am a fan.

I'm with you!

Picture in your head - Toyo and Dodge come to you and say "we'll pay the $20,000 fee. You go drive, party & promote!"

I'd be like HELL YEAH!!!!

"This live rally event will be filmed for an eight-episode MTV Networks show that will air this fall." So we won't be seeing what happens each day until the fall?
