It does now, thanks to what they've done to cars and the new track surface... find a butt buddy and have at it boys! :-/

Interesting thing in reading tonight (some of the drivers recaps), if they come up on a 'couple', they can put their left front on the car in front's right rear and it will dissolve their 'coupleness' LOL! and then they can be passed. This is so not racing, I won't be watching at all, I'll follow along on twitter to know if there's anyone hurt over this latest fubar by Nascar.

I hate to think this but I see RG doing a lot of pushin Sunday only to get f'd and dropped in heartbeat. He will really be on his own Sunday, so I think he should try to run up front and flex his muscle if he can get up there. If he wrecks who cares, he is not running f/t this year, hanging in the back has gotten him top 20 finishes and nobody helping him at the end.

Biggest thing avoid the big one, then avoid the next big one, then the next bigger one. With only 20 cars running at the end, partners will be easier to choose from and RG will be pushed by Kurt Busch to victory. Just my predicition :)

If he can get a partner, Robby will take it to the front, Kyle screwed robby yesterday, hope he remembers that.

I said this in chat yesterday.. Robby needs to be pushed. it will just work better for the dodge. Kurts won 2 races already. How? He was pushed. If you look at everytime Kurt had to swap and be the pusher, they just weren't as fast. I think the combo of a dodge in front of is just alot faster.

Robby pushed yesterday and was one of the few cars that didn't blow out steam..If his temps stay down it shouldn't be hard to find someone to push the whole race....
