I don't think Ted had it too, it was his wife Debbie that went through treatment and came through just fine.

I thought the Big C you were talking about was a Championship in the truck series

Both Ted and his wife are cancer survivors.

That's right, I forgot about the bladder cancer.

Here's a great quote from Ted after he was penalized at Homestead and lost out on a Big C in the Truck Series, sounds like something that Robby would say less the Ted Musgrave part and add few f-bombs:

"All I can say is next year you're going to see a whole new Ted Musgrave. He's going to be the dirtiest son of a gun going out there on the racetrack and you might as well throw that rulebook away. I ain't going by it no more"

If the 7 were starting 10th and a caution came before he fell worse than say 20th with a fair pit selection and the fact we could pull it off before we lost too much is an interesting gamble, and one thing I would like to see from the team is some gambling. Robby is behind the 8 ball as far as points are concerned and we must all agree that if he were top 20 in points at this point in the year we would have not only seen better racing (that would go without saying) but we would see a more aggressive style from Robby. And I think we all know we are not seeing what we would like to see and what made us fans in the first place. Just sayin'
