Charlotte & Dega...any chance of an audible?

Robby has put Reed Sorenson behind the wheel the last two weeks. With Charlotte being in their backyard and Dega (1 year anniversary of SPEED launch) coming up...if there was a chance at an audible it would be one or both of these races.

Robby retired early from Chicago's race (intended to be a full race, but went 2 laps down & parked it with nothing to gain). So maybe Charlotte gets an audible?

However, if you look ahead Talladega is the following week. Robby loves the plate racing, but hated the 2-car tango. Nascar has made several rule changes to aid in preventing the 2 by 2 car dancing. It will mark the 1 year anniversary of the launch of SPEED Energy. I would hope Robby shows up and looks at how things work in practice. Qualifying will be a huge challenge for RGM. They've always built fast drafting cars, but haven't usually had a fast qualifying package.

Either way, I hope an audible is coming. Love to see Robby racing again.

I'd love to see Robby do the full race at Talladega. That's one of my favorite races.

I know it's a money issue, but I'm afraid S&Ping isn't helping the marketing roll out of Speed Energy Drink.

True , S & P may not be the best for marketing , but as we have been told RGM is in a survival mode. So S & P does help keep the lights on and employees employed. Hopefully RG does do the full race at Dega , just step back and think of what RG has acomplished in just one year of launching Speed Energy...really pretty amazing.

Robby should run the dega full race and also get reed sorenson to drive the 77 car so he has an automatic partner. I think it would be good to give the 77 car its first full race. but all depends on qualifying and funding. and also pink paint scheme on both speed energy cars would be sweet.

Dont think that will happen... RP cars are the most expensive to build and you have to add the cost of tires, crew, etc.

If you are superstitious consider this: I go to one race a year. Since 2007 every race I have been at Robby has lost an engine or last year it was an S&P. I will be at Talladega this year. If the trend continues, even though I want to see him race, it might not be good.
