Nascar has become boring, as is F1 with the same people winning all the races.....it's a shame there isn't a more even playing field, so we get the occasional other team/driver win the odd race. It would make it more exciting for the fans, plus other drivers have a definite chance of winning.
Oh well....It is what it is!

to quote WJM from page 3
'Fiscally it makes zero sense to take of couple of cars out of mothballs to make a qualifying attempt at a plate track or road course. You're talking about upgrading and re-skinning at least two cars, certification, engine lease, yada, yada. It makes no financial sense whatsoever. None.

Do you really think Robby is going to waste his time searching for a $500K sponsor to attempt to qualify for the Daytona 500 or would his time be better spent securing a $500K title sponsor for SST, a series he owns?

I'd like for Robby to come to NorthWest and race something,I just don't see my dream happening.

@Mike: You are obviously a NASCAR hater (your opinion)...but when you click on a thread titled "NASCAR" you will read comments about RG fans that would ............(wait for it...........wait for it..........).........LIKE to see Robby driving a Cup car! Most RG fans liked watching Robby run NASCAR. I'm not a dirt racing fan, but I have watched Dakar, Baja and SST events because I'm a fan of Robby. I would like to see RG run a NASCAR race period... I don't care if it's RGM or with another team! I believe the changes made would benefit RGM but, that's my opinion. Looks like that dirt is turning into mud....

Awesome pic, I thinks as fans of all types of motorsports...we all root for the brand, the Speed slash. If a car, truck or bike has Speed Energy aboard...That's our guy!

@Zoom, let's start with the content in the thread title."Will Robby ever race in NASCAR again???"
I answered with a very recent interview source that answer's Chad's question without applying my opinion on the subject.
from above " You are obviously a NASCAR hater (your opinion)..." prove it! Where did I post I hate NASCAR?
For the record I hate writing credits and being out of beer.PROVE IT,Zoom!
In fact I enjoy the genre of stock car racing,see picture below.

Why yes,that is me working at a local NASCAR home track as tech inspector just last season.

IMO, all Mike was saying is it just doesn't make sense for Robby and while we all wish for things, Robby running NASCAR again, for me Robby running and winning Indy, is kind of a waste it's just not going too happen.

@Robert,matter of fact,that young man's name is Mike.And for 2014 I will not be officiating,why ? Becouse I'm sponsoring that young man to technical assistance and engine building in the new class he's entering which would be a direct conflict of interest for the class I managed.
