Truthfully the only thing FRM recieves in support is the Yates name,Doug Yates by putting his name on the team created a customer for his stock of the older style engines.Most of thier fleet of cars are first series COT'S from RPM.Just rebodied with ford noses.
Perhaps, but a recent Tweet from Kvapil was "Getting the cars better with help from Roush/Yates guys! Enjoyed the cookout and hanging with those guys!"
Those are engine guys... RFR and RPM are the only FORD teams working close together as far as everything else goes.
It is only my opinion. If it wasn't for RG and RGM fighting for the top 35 then I probably wouldn't watch. I agree that NASCAR doesn't want to highlight the S&P and the stupid top 35 rule. More reason to like it and hope it get the headline.
Someone needs to put a wedge in FRM game plan of getting Gilliland, Kvapil or whoever is in the 38 car 5 points for leading a race. Gilliland will probably be in the car this week, he has the best record I think of the 2. Gilliland also leads the team as a driver for that team with getting the 5 points. I doubt Tony Raines will be in the car as he has failed to make the show at Martinsville in the past. Robby needs to get the 07 in car. Then all start and park cars, and RGM cars need to be in front of TRG and FRM cars for the whole race.
Actually Travis has the best stats for Martinsville...by a pretty good margin over Gilliland. His average start is 22nd and average finish is 27th...his highest finish was 18th and only 1 DNF.

Compared to Gilliland who's highest finish is 19th, 2 DNF's and an average start of 30th and finish of 30th
Stats dont mean squat if a driver slips in a turn during his q lap or gets tagged by another car and sent into the fence. Anything can happen at a short track race.
So luck and paybacks trump stats...
unlike Bristol, we will see some paybacks.
I hope that Robby is the payor and not the payee
The 48 18 12 in the wall would be great to see the 11 also
