RGM getting close to having a solid team

Toyota seems to have been a good decision so far for RGM. Gas mileage hasn't been an issue and horsepower seems to be more equal to most teams.

Kirk has done a great job and keeping Robby calm & focused. His discussions with Robby have been very solid with giving Robby the adjustments he wants, but keeping him from going overboard.

So far no "Back in Black" with sponsors more willing to climb aboard.

The only thing I see RGM needs work on is the pit crew. It seems weekly they've stumbled. Had the crew not messed the stop up, the 4 cars running with Robby at the time all finished in the Top 15. Robby bounced back and caught cautions at the right time most of the day, so finishing 21st is decent.

Robby is 30th in points and only -46 behind 25th and -66 behind 20th. Martinsville hasn't been a good track for Robby, hopefully he get a solid finish and move up in points.

One thing to keep in mind about SPOT is that their parent company GSAT stock has tanked to below a dollar a share. They need results to stay advertising in this venue.

The good news is that Kirk seems to be slowly getting a handle on the COT during the race and the cars are good right off the truck. The team still needs more practice both on the track and at the shop.

This could be a good season for Robby to finish in the top 25.
