I think since Tony is looking for a Fill Driver for 20-25 Cup races which Danica does not run, it be a good shot for Robby to drive for and make a deal give TS the #7 rights in exchange for a ride. then in Races Danica runs, Robby runs his own car as #77.

that's an interesting thought. the biggest problem is that Tony is looking for a driver AND a sponsor. somehow, I just don't see RG getting in somebody else's car again.

I predict Mark Martin being a part of that part time deal, remember he has no ride after this year.

Geez! Let Robby do what he feels he has to do; he qualified, race and move on to the next one. He is a businessman and one of the best over all drivers out there (just ask Smoke); he's a one man show & deserves more credit then the most of the drivers. The sad part is the general audience does not know much about his talents! I have tickets to the Homestead race and my wife who does not follow Nascar much can't wait to wear the Speed Energy gear for the weekend! GO ROBBY!
Big fans in Fort Myers,FL!!!

Hey I have an Idea, lets talk about how much camber there is in the right front tire for a while. I think @The_WJM was talking about a Race Thread............

Putting camber in a tire is tough to do. Yea i'm the guy the smart ass. You could put nitrogen in a tire and the camber in the spindle angle carrying the wheel which mounts the tire could............I can't believe I did that.......

Let's try:
LF: camber: 3.25, caster: 2.0 RF: camber:-2.25, caster: 5.5
LR: camber:1.75 RR: camber-1.75
Mike Kenyon will provide initial tire pressures, sway bar choices and track bar settings.

So RF just looks like it has a lot. The LF has the most, maybe to help with entrance...still learning.
