TOG, do you know if the #49 is going to the test in Charlotte? I hope so, they can test 2 cars per team. So with 4 cars they may be able to get ahold of the car with the new spoiler. While am at it, I would put Mike Skinner in the #49 for the test, he is also a pretty good qualifier when the #49 runs again.

Robby should take the 49, and the 04, and the 72 and whatever other car number hasn't been claimed. RGM can be a 4-car team for one week.

Why doesn't RG focus the 1st practice in just qual trim? He still has 2 others to work on race trim. I'd rather give up the 1st practice and hope to qual in the 20s then starting 40th and getting lapped early.

Now he has to pray for a caution and then still make adjustments to the car. Maybe he can stay out in an early caution and catch another one. Maybe he can run fast and catch some breaks, good luck this weekend.

Well, 42nd completely sucks. Let's just hope he finishes the race in one piece & doesn't mess up Blake Shelton's cute face on that car :-)

Saluki,
I do not agree. Screw practicing in Q trim. With limited practices, it makes snese to use the extra time to practice in race trim. Would rather start in the back with a good car in race trim then start up fromt with a POS cr in race triim.

I hope Robby turns things around quickly. Was exicted to see Monster as a primary and having the alliance with BAM. Was really pumped when we got news about how hard the team worked over the off season. Even Larry Carter said he was impressed with Robby's shop & cars. Keep hearing Robby's cars look impressive and are like F1 cars with COT bodies, but after the first 3 races...I can't beleive we're this bad. Daytona we were a mid -pack team, California we were just a notch above a start & park, and Vegas was a disaster. Robby sounded very determinded before the season stating they had to have results and need single digit finishes. I admit, I was buying into it & drinking the kool-aid. What happened? How can we be off this much? 5 MPH almost every race. Hope things turn around. Looking for the improvement to show in practice tomorrow since we we're in race trim. Hope it pays off.
