2002 and 2003 were happy days, I'll say that with you.

Hmm, I would guess if Robby knew there would be a huge change in the design of cars in Cup, he would have stayed longer.

Its my opinion he left because under the formula that Nascar had at the time, he thought he could be competitive. Other than the Menard teething issues, he had his moments. COT time has been dreadful though.

Yeah but at Dover and a few other races when the COT FIRST started being used he did well for a while. Seemed to loose it soon after though.

He had that one good run at Dover, most of the COT races have been awful. The first COT race they actually had bring the car in a number of times because the rear sway bar was cutting into the rear tires.

RGM was one of a few teams that thought Nascar was going to back down on the COT program in 2007.

Besides plate races and road courses, I do not think they have had a top 10 with a COT besides the Dover race...
