Where does RGM get their starting set-ups from? Is I just from past notes or do they have info from a shaker rig also?

All teams have baseline setups they use from past races, plus new crew chief throws his knowledge in as well.

@Ken, also some base info comes from the pull-down rig.

Quick 2010 Facts: RG finished 26th , -1 lap down.

From Beagle7

He did take a wave around a little past mid race to get back on the lead lap after falling -1 due to the failed airgun pit stop,

He only had 40 laps of fuel before he needed to pit and unfortunately it stayed green and he went 1.9 laps down on his green pit there.

He stayed ahead of bowyer to not go -2 for a while, but eventually succumbed and then the yellow came out.

So we waved around to -1 and then another yellow fell right away cementing our -1 status.

Unfortuantely from there, were not able to get a LD (which we held the spot for a good 20-30 laps) or utilize a wave aorund..remember, you just cannot wave around...all cars on the lead lap who are in front of you track position wise ont he current lap must pit for you to be able to wave around. That situation never materialized for Robby after he cemented his -1 status as Tony, Jeff, and Clint stayed out on all those cautions.

I think there was also a lap lead, but I'm getting old and all these races seem to blend together. Just glad he decided to run here, now I have someone to cheer for at least for a while.
