They feel they found the cooling problem and it may have not been that bad anyway after reading about all of the other non Ford teams issues. With the forecast for 60ish temperatures tomorrow if NASCAR does not take the cooling system pressure back down it could turn into more of a 2 by 2 race like last year. I would think Robby will ride around in the back in a smaller non racy pack until very late in the race, then go for it in the last 15-20 laps.
The forecast is calling for spotty showers so the race could end up shortened if more rain than forecast develops,

yup. He is going to take it easy the first 80% of the race, be there at the end

yeah his old pack racing strategy worked pretty good that year where he had all the good plate track finishes..top 20 would be nice to start the year

Thats what I thought on Thursday.250 isn't 280-90 like the Chevy's or even Crashlowski's Dodge. I hope the mass's don't freak when Robby loses the draft and hangs at the tail of the lead lap-miss's the crap.
See all ya'all tomorrow.

The sky will be adjustable tomorrow for most.

If I remember right, RG had an average finish of 11th place on plate races in 2010, not sure about 2011, but we know this guy can finish well in this plaza.
