and it worked....As long as you have a shot at the end ( and they both did ) thats all that matters on plate tracks. Plate races are all about being in the wrong place, wrong time & vice versa

Forget Nascar, Robby in the 2013 American DTM series with backing from Monster.

NOT so much, the Monster thing. When are contracts up? IMO

Question - If they 7 fall out of the top 35, do they pull out of RGM or do the stick with him the rest of the year and try to get back in?

The top 35 battle is the best thing going in NASCAR. This is the only reason I've been watching it lately. Keep it up RG and RGM. You have me at the edge of my seat. Beat the Roush and RCR teams.

Plus it wiould put a spotlight on how the major teams are getting additional revenue from building cars for their associated teams. FRM is getting a new car from RCR for M'ville and Harvick is doing the race setup.
