I wouldn't call the program "bad" - there are around 20 cars below the #7 in points. I can't call being in the top 35 in points "bad." The #7 is going to get at least 34 points on Sunday, which is 34 more than the #26 team. Every week can't be Sonoma or the Glen - the NASCAR season is a grind.

It would be nice if PJ can stay out for around 40 to 50 laps to finish ahead of the usual S&P teams and finish around 35 or 36th. It's all about the grind - stay focused and the team can finish the season in the top 35. By the way, what's the rules on transferring points between teams? Such as from Robby's second car to the #7?

Actually, it would only be 3 points more than the 26. You get 31 points as fastest non-qualifier. What is more important is keeping a perfect record in race attempts. You need all of those to keep top 35 exemption.

This may be a answered question already but. Why did Gene leave the team? I think that sucks. I am thinking it must have been money. Man, feeling bad for the team right now. Lets just hope he kicks ass at the Glen.

Golf isn't something I love, racing is. Considering RGM let me design cars for them that ran during the 2009 season I think I'll stick with RGM no matter what good times and bad. Not having Gene at RGM is awful but I'll be a Gene fan no matter where he ends up and the same goes with Robby Gordon.

I'm here no matter if we are running 43rd or 1st. I cannot give up on Robby Gordon Motorsports or Robby Gordon, I witnessed first hand when I was at the shop how much effort goes in to every detail of running a race team. Times suck, but if Robby is going to stick with it we need to stick with him. I don't agree with everything RGM does, but I'm a fan, just like being a fan of every other team. Sure the Giants, Yankees, and Bulls piss me off but I still watch their games.

Watkins Glen is next week, and Robby Gordon is still driving the car, we should be ok. I just wish we had some of that Nead roadie strategy.

Gene wanted to get tires on the pit stop and Robby made the decision not to take any, I'm sure Gene wanted to do his job and let Robby do his job, which is drive the car, not make pit calls. Robby will always have a hard time finding and keeping CC's when Robby is his own CC.
