Just got off the phone with a good mate out in Cali......Get this, not only is Robby running the Glen he is bringing a "square" steering wheel. Seems there is no rule that it has to be round or even center mounted as long as it moves dah tires. I had what I needed to fit a wood over lay in my car and found the advantages instantly.........instantly. It pays to have someone "tell you something". I took it off because I prefer the handle bars (off an old stationary bike) I replaced my steering wheel with. I mean if you think it's easy to ride a bike imagine how easy it is to drive a car with them babies........(take a minute to visualize)...have I gone far enough??? I can see the edge without turning my head. Mike Mully said Robby said... TOG said ...........NEVER EVER believe what you are told .......unless you hear it from me, then simply think the flip side. I'll be at the Glen and if Robby is not I'll be at the Glen and if Robby is, we will both be at the Glen and if Mike Mully is I'll watch for him near the media building..........you have good view of it when you tell a strangers kid not to grow up.......Don't grow up, it's a trap!!

With the right/lucky strategy he can win along with any other. This track has proven many times over.to.have nothing to do with skill or car to win.

I've never understood why NASCAR hasn't adjusted the distance to take fuel mileage out of the strategy. Fuel mileage racing isn't racing, IMO.

It doesn't matter how many miles the race is. Fuel mileage will always happen on a road course. The reason being they can't get lapped during green flag pit stops, so the strategy is the run the race backwards.
