All RG & the shop guys are doing is preparing the car for martinsville with the intent of running good & finishing good...

what more do you all want ? ( real world, not fantasy world )

(Reality check) Accidents happen at Martinsville and Robby always run the top at cookie cutters.

All I said is the next two races are crucial, after that it should be a cake walk. Everyone will be happy.

When you are finishing in the bottom 10 the last few weeks it doesn't hurt to go for the bonus points. Anyways it also throws you in a different strategy from the others and that may just win you race out of 36 shots a year.

The plan was to take the wave around, but for some inexplicable reason Tony stayed out. Screwed up the picture for RG he was going crazy on the radio at Tony.

9 Positions on the track is his gap.

Robby defines himself as a marketing company that just happens to race. Since he doesn't run up front, he gets TV time by hitting a wall, running out of gas, etc. His raw emotion afterward proves it wasn't a calculated move so not saying he does this intentional. Yet it does serve his purpose.

During the race I flinch every time they come out of commercial with "Caution out," praying it isn't him. So all the posters here with thoughtful suggestions on what Robby should be doing are feeling that same frustration. Yet none of us are following a driver who does what others think is right. We're here believing in the only one to blaze his own trail, no matter where it may lead. Gas On Robby.... but watch the fuel mileage.

That's a good definition, frustration. The race in Bristol was a prime example of what you were talking about, I finally turned the race on, and at that exact moment was when he blew a tire and ran into the wall, I was like @#%$, immediately I get a text, "your boy Robby just hit the wall". Turn off the TV, head back to the garage! Frustration!!! If just one race we had a top 5 qualifying, and a top 5 finish, then you would know we are competitive.
