What a bunch of cry babies...it's always Nascar's fault when Robby doesn't perform well.

Oh and by the way, Nascar is bigger than every other form of American motorsports combined so don't start with the Nascar is dying garbage. Robby wants to run there or he wouldn't be doing it.

Gas On Robby.....

Well that's disappointing, Robby needs to just focus on Off-Road where he can be competitive. He didn't even have a chance out there, he was way off the pace. NASCAR shouldn't be in the vocabulary anymore.

Honestly, he wasn't way off the pace. His lap times were competitive all day. What killed him was his starting position & track position is key in road course racing. Given the bad starting spot, they had to try some really unconventional strategy. The strategy relied on pitting early, running fast lap times in clean air, and catching a timely caution. Unfortunately, the timely caution never came...

Totally agree, you have to roll the dice and take a chance. Good to see him run. Stuff breaks, its a bummer but he will be back, maybe not soon but he will be. Hope the new series takes off and he makes a grip of money to get better funding!!
