Is KC the next RG?

Before you completely go postal on the ol' slider for my less-than-elegant headline, allow me to wax-poetically for a minute.

Like many of you here, my attachment to RG owes its genesis to my childhood racing hero, AJ Foyt. Sad was the day when my driver opted to retire from racing and transition to the role of Indy car owner. Who was going to continue the firery, cantantorious and aggressive style of racing that fit AJ so well?

Not long after, we started to hear about this kid Robby Gordon driving for AJ. Very quickly, it was apparent that AJ had indeed found a driver with his same style of racing, who also could drive the wheels off the black and red #14 Copenhagen indy car.

Pretty much at that point, I was an RG fan.

Fast forward about 30 years and now we've got some new kid driving the #7 car. I know nothing about KC, just like I knew nothing about RG those many years ago. Are these two scenario's analogous? Only time will tell.

But I must say, I'm not ready to change drivers any time soon.

You dont have to change drivers anytime soon, because RG is going to race for many years to come.

I'm still waiting for the same "fire in the belly" from Kevin Conway that we saw in a young Robby Gordon.

I am just hopeful that RG gets the $$ up front. Just as long as it is not a BAM and Morgan Mc Clure type of deal. Now the true question is how many people actually bought a BAM VIP membership???????......Anyone?.....Anyone?........Hell we should just send TOG the cash instead for the ponies.

I keep looking for data on Biotab Nutraceuticals who is listed as the parent of Extenze. The best I could find is that they maybe have 70 employees and one site shows their business sales to be around $10mil. So if this is the case, how are they sponsoring a team and running TV advertising? Does anyone have an answer?
