Last year many of us witnessed a tragedy. Our boy Robby was about to win his first Nascar race of any kind since 2004. That seemed likely to occur until he was spun under yellow by the #59 Ford of Marcos Ambrose. So, Robby decided to be Robby and line up 2nd despite what Nascar told him and wreck Ambrose and proclaim that he had won the race. He then continued to do burnouts as the race winner. That was all funny as hell, but the fact was that Nascar said Robby did not win the race, and they parked him for Pocono.

Robby, being the great guy that he is, decided to make something good out of a bad situation. He invited Marcos to drive his second car at Watkins Glen and Dover, but the deal never went through because of bad weather and Marcos' wife having a baby. Those two weeks, Robby and Camping World were getting more press than Jr. or Jeff Gordon, and I think the fact that he still claims he won the race makes it appropriate for him to go back to defend his crown.

Lets be honest here, I think we are all tired of running 25th, and I think Montreal would give Robby, his fans, and his sponsors a chance to run upfront and be the center of attention. You'd be nuts if you didn't think Robby would be followed all over to see what he was going to do next especially at a place like Montreal. I know CUP racing pays bills, but if your solidly in the top 35, you need to take a shot and go for big time exposure and a chance to win. I think your sponsors would be happier with the minutes of TV time in Montreal compared to the seconds you will be shown at Pocono. Also, to the best of my knowledge, he does not have a sponsor at Pocono, so if you were say Camping World, would you rather sponsor him at a cup race for double the money and 1/4 of the exposure or Montreal where he is a true contender.

I understand that some things aren't possible. I can see why he would want to focus on the cup effort, but I think they hit on something at the last Pocono race, and Walter and a sub driver like Matt Crafton could easily have the car running well for Robby when he gets back on Sunday. There is nothing like watching Robby Gordon on a road course, nothing at all, and it would be fun to see Robby go there and take the trophy that is rightfully his. I think a win would set this team up to sweep races at the Glen and give an extreme boost at Pocono.

So, as long as he doesn't have some bad luck at Indy and Pocono that causes him to get to 35th in owners points, I think its worth a shot to benefit the fans, the sponsors, and even RGM to go and run up front.
