Robby's New Car

At Senoma it was mentioned that Robby's new cars were a work of art. I noticed in the in car that the dash area was different than the usual cup car. Do we have any detailed pictures of this new car?

That is the same dash set-up RGM has been using in their cars since last season. I could be wrong, but I believe that dash was inspired by the Dakar carbon fiber parts. Also the TT dash was changed over a few years back and has that cowl look to it also. Using carbon fiber saves weight and helps bring the center of gravity down.

Also on TNT's coverage Marty Schinder mention on NASCAR.com the "Beyond the Pit Road" was going to be a segment about Robby's new Road Course car. I have checked and it is still not posted on their. I hope they dont just sweep it aside as I know I would like to see what was new and different on that car.

it would be a work of art if it came home with confetti stuck to the windshield.

Yes... More sportscar less sedan... LOL

Compared to the other cars, very light, very roomie and looks from the inside much different than any other COT.

Thanks for the picture of the dash. Any picks of the new car being built in the shop? Some time back there were some detailed picks of Robby's TT the workmanship and design was off the chart.
