Paul Menard had a great day.

Luckily Scott Speed had a DNQ.

what changes? Good run until motor blew. Great pitstops. Yeah, it sucks he is where he is in points, but todays result isn't from lack of hard work or a bad team.

how'd he get a lap down? i tuned on the tv around lap 150 and then shut it off when it blew. one, there is no reason rg will fall out of the top 35, those drivers are so bad back there they will never catch RG.

definately not a good spot....we are getting farther and farther behind going to hard to get back up in the points

yeah the last three cookie cutters we'ver had top 20 cars (Vegas 15th, we're 21 and closing in on 19th when we got a lfat in Atlanta) and Mears finished 20th today, and we were ahead/better than him).

Had a decent run at Bristol. Only disappointments were Daytona and Martinsville, but Martinsville was almost epxected...that place owns us.

ROBBY GORDON, No. 7 Jim Beam Toyota Camry, Robby Gordon Motorsports Finishing Position: 39th

Did the engine give you any indication that something was wrong?

"No. It was running good. We had a decent run going. We were just never in the right position to the get the ‘lucky dog,’ but we were about a 10th or 15th-place car. I’m pretty happy with what we learned today. Unfortunately, we had a problem with the motor. But, I know the guys will go to work hard at TRD (Toyota Racing Development) and figure it out."

Kirk is quickly passing out Mean Gene as my favorite RGM crew chief.

The 8 and 71 might not go to Phoenix which would mean more cushion in the top 35.
