Intermediate tracks and the COT are RGM's downfall. We know that Robby can drive to a top 20 finishes at them as he did with Childress. So the problem IMO is the cars - their parts, setups, shock and aero packages or the employees. As the saying goes - insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. If RGM wants to be competitive in NASCAR and stay in the top 35, it needs to be changed.

Don't know much about what went on at the track or race I could not get a signal for chat. However from the outside looking in if Miles learned anything about how the car reacted to what ever changes were made that's a win win in my book. If TOG has the numbers i'd be very very very interested in what Robby Gordons' lap times were per said "sessions" Start of the race -----------
After the first work period-------------
and so on---------------

Did they make the car faster? Were the times comparable to whom? There has to be a silver lining to every cloud not just the rain we seem to be getting where we really don'y need it. Like here in Buffalo, the Planet ECT ECT ECT. Speaking of looking at clouds that way Joni Collins version of Both Sides is a pretty good philosophical tune that for some might bring back memories of things like spilling your milkshake in the backseat of your parents 1965-72 Chevy Impala while AM radio raged out plastic top 40. Or for some young people, women in particular a brand new song they never heard. It all depends on how you look at things and I for one stand behind RGM at its pragmatism rather than be trapped within the confines of one stale opaque mental nephogram that has me seeing only the dark side.

Lap times majorly improved after repairs. It appears it became a Start & Test after Wimmer DNQ'd. Robby was very laid back & calm, if he was really racing he would have been dropping F bombs!

I know we want to see Rob do better but Charlotte wasn't a total loss - the pink car generated some pub for the drink which I had my first sip of - I literally walked over to Rob's hauler during Thursday practice and grabbed one out of the cooler - no joke.

I guess everyone was a little busy working on two cars to worry about the cooler of Speed. It was very tasty. I was actually surprised as how well it went down because I have never been an energy drink person, my drug of choice is Diet Coke.

But this is tasty enough to where the other companies will no doubt take notice and might even try to copy Rob's branding

Those are there for everyone to try. If you watch, you'll see people from other teams coming by to grab a can of Speed. They just want people to try Speed and get the word out, so don't feel like you are stealing. :)

I like the orange one best, but the yellow is good too. I haven't tried the pink yet.

Yellow is growing on me more and more. Tastes like candy lol! I'm with you Matt, those 2 are my fav, haven't tried pink either. Sometimes sugar free scares me lol
