Dodge and Penske don't care about an operation like this. And unfortunately, sponsors won't either, with continued 35+ finishes.

I always get my hopes up with Robby! At anytime he could win one of these races! I can't wait until he does and than he can shove it down NASCAR's throat! That will be one awesome day!!! In the words of Robby Gordon "They can kiss my A@@!"

This f'n sucks, get home a little bit ago from an ag. class to see that Robby has motor issues. Same shit at KOH, he knew something was wrong, they stuck with it and something did happen. If Penske did offer a motor as the comments suggest, he should have took it and made it work. If you want to be competitive, using an new/old modified motor to meet todays specs isn't going to cut it with power or reliability at a rp track.

Penske motor could have blown too, but Robby would have at least had a better chance and probably could have been running up from like these smaller teams have been tonight.

Just sucks to see the man you pull for have terrible races and not run competitive in the ones he does choose to run. Hopefully this doesn't ruin the success he's had so far this year with the other events going forward.

Penske didn't offer shit ! That's the whole point . Robby ASKED for one at 1st but it would've been alot of $ . My opinion is that dodge should've stepped up and either paid for it or given Robby 1 with only 3 dodges in the race id think theyde want the best stuff out there . Since Robby would have to ultimately have to fit the bill he made a decision to save the much needed $ and take his chances . Truth is we don't or won't know what couldve / would've happened . All I know is as long as Robby is behind the wheel of a racing vehicle I will always support him by being a fan !
