<p>@WC77 You would have to read the whole post..........then..............notice that nobody on there mentions Robby till some guy who simply chants Robby Robby Robby..........then..............become a member................then...........post some support for Robby....................then....................explore the entire site, your mind and some very well built replicas of stock cars.....................then.................go to bed having expanded your horizons. At least that's what I thought a few folks would do, there really is some great "knowledge" on that board that is historically accurate and even more so interesting and enlightening. There are words that describe people who like to deal with fact and detail to a finite point but I think that the link I posted is from a great bunch of people who are undeserving of them. They did however miss the fact that Robby Gordon Motorsports could be a team Dodge can bring to the forefront, a detail no members there (until some hookinfool visited) pointed out. . Stated with all due respect and no sarcasm.</p>

<p>Dodge will unveil its 2013 Sprint Cup car on March 11 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. However, the bigger question now is who will be driving Dodges next year?

<p>Dodge will unveil its 2013 Sprint Cup car on March 11 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. However, the bigger question now is who will be driving Dodges next year? Robby Gordon Motorsports would be the lone team at this point after Penske Racing announced Thursday that it was moving to manufacturer Ford in 2013. But Dodge has also reached out to other teams, including Richard Petty Motorsports, according to owner Andy Murstein. "We received calls from several manufacturers today asking if they could meet with us," Murstein said. "It seems that while sponsorship is down, car manufacturer support is strong. That is probably due to the fact that the car companies are all doing significantly better these days than a few years ago. Thus Petty has been approached by several manufacturers recently. What's interesting is that while there are the usual suspects there is one new manufacturer that is trying to break into the sport. RPM's contract with Ford is up at the end of the season. Petty ran Dodges from 1972 to 1978. Petty Enterprises aligned with Dodge again when the manufacturer returned to NASCAR competition in 2001 through most of the 2009 season, then under the RPM banner. Earnhardt Ganassi Racing president Steve Lauletta said the company had not yet been approached by Dodge.(Fox Sports)<br/>AND: Richard Petty Motorsports said: "We welcome Penske Racing to the Ford Racing Family in 2013. Additional teams mean more information for everyone and that's a very good thing from a competition standpoint. We have a partnership with Roush Fenway Racing and we are happy to be a part of the Ford Racing program. As we always do, we will evaluate all of our options and make decisions based on what is ultimately best for our race team."(RPM)(3-2-2012)</p> Can't say that the 2nd TBR ca…tag:www.planetrobby.com,2012-03-02:2181693:Comment:5749782012-03-02T11:50:27.817ZBobhttp://www.planetrobby.com/profile/Bob696
<p>Can't say that the 2nd TBR car will go away it could go to Blaney's kid depending on his progress.<br/>Also wasn't it said after the bull run when we all thought Robby would run a Jeep at Dakar that DODGE had no money to support him. sorry if i'm wrong but thats what I thought I heard.The thought of Dodge totally supporting Robby would be amazing.</p>

He said he loves hanging with all the off-road guys and he gave major props to RG.
