Hell yeah, went from no FAQ's to 6 this week! Is this a re-worked Gibbs chasis running this weekend or a new piece? lol, great though that Robby's finally running a whole race. Hopefully it will produce a good end result!

Whatever chassis the team is running, I hope it is fast off the truck so they can concentrate on the Qualifying setup. It looks like 5 cars are going home and I hate for one of them to be RG.

Still have to make race run laps since there is no practice after qualifying. 2 sessions to take care of business.

Mike K -

RE: your quote: "It takes a top 3 to earn the same gross profit as a start and park"

1) I assume you mean "net" vs. gross (due to the high cost of running the full race)
2) if yes above.....that's an amazing statistic if true

That puts the all teams 4-43 in a net loss position without sponsorships. *someone* is getting rich from the TV and track revenue.....it's obviously not the teams.
