But he still has to be careful on race day when Scott Speed is in the field. As long as Robby can finish ahead of Scott more often than not, Robby will be just fine.

WIth that team being entered after the deadline (the deadline something like 13 days before the race), it was not eligible for owner or driver points.

Hope you have a great week!

Hope you are feeling better!!!

At 12:54pm on July 1, 2009, Sarah said…: One day we will get to meet. Where there is a will, there is a way! I see lots of races in the "gangs' future. I hope you have a great holiday as well. I really hope you next appt. is going to bring you some good news. Take care of yourself and keep me updated. Love to you as well!

It has nothing to do with his driving but he needs to stick to strategy and not try to mess around! it bites him every time! As for him not talking to his CC, that's far better than to hear him tear him to pieces over the radio. I have heard him do that to a CC and it's not pretty!

At 10:55pm on June 30, 2009, Sarah said…: Uhhh Joan, did you read Path's blog??? I ask because I was there at the House of Mouse!! WE HAD A BALL!!! AGAIN!! Thanks for visiting the page and know I am hoping they finally find out what is going on with you. Take care!

It has been a while. Just wanted to wish you a happy mother's day before the day is over. By reading your messages here, I see that you are having some health issues -- I hope you are feeling better soon.

I guess the last race didn't helpto raise your spirits :( I was out and put the race on the car radio and was disappointed to hear that RG was 2 laps down early. No need to go home and watch after I heard that!

I look forward to hearing from you soon - take care.

Robby signed it for me with xoxoxox's as I had to fight for it. LOL!! He treated us so well as he always has. We got a lot of other things from him as well. I hope you get to meet him one day. He is really good to his fans. We had a great time at the races. No we weren't near the crash. I have seats on row 50 so we were well away from any debris. I taught Mouse how to do the autograph lines so he could meet a lot of the drivers. Gibby and I taught Path about "sweet tea" southern style. Gibby showed Path the art of meandering too.
Hope all is well with you!!

At 10:13am on May 1, 2009, Pathfinder7 said…: The thought that Robby might remember us is a little scary. I'm sure he's peeking around corners hoping not to see us right now!

At 12:13pm on April 29, 2009, Pathfinder7 said…: Oh, yes, the ride in the Beam car was amazing!

At 4:57pm on March 27, 2009, Sarah said…: Thanks Joan!! I don't know what bugs me more: the starting position or Jiffy Poo on the pole! Have a great weekend!!

At 1:07pm on March 12, 2009, Mario said…: OK...I got it now. The Driver's Rating Standings (DRS) list is a totally different structure than the Driver's Points Standings (DPS).

The DPS uses the traditional points system (each position has a set number of points) and lists the drivers by how many points they have accrued through the season.

The DRS uses a different system and is akin to the Quarter Back Rating in football. It is a system that uses a formula that uses Wins, Finishing Position, Top 15 Finishes, Average Running Position While on the Lead Lap, Average Speed Under Green, Fastest Lap, Led Most Laps, and Lead Lap Finish to determine a rating for each race individually and then averages those numbers (after the first race) for their rating. So, while Robby has finished higher than Paul Menard in each race so far, if Paul can stay on the lead lap longer than Robby (and have a better running average) or have a fastest Average Speed Under Green, or have a faster Fastest Lap, he will have a slightly better driver rating than Robby. If I can dig up the numbers from each race, I will post an example using Robby and Paul.
