Permalink Reply by mike fart on February 24, 2012 at 11:58am It would be nice to score a Penske motor and give the 7 a chance to finish at the top end. If not; is the RGM motor fixable? Hope its just a small problem not a true repersentation of the motors that are coming from RGM this year.

Mike, Robby has a spare RGM engine. It is ready to go in the car, The old motor the oil ran hot (280deg) that wont last in the 500. Can only change motors once (1) between the Duals and final practice. If Roger says no Robby will run the race with his spare motor. Probably not as strong, but he will be competitive.
