Michigan Merch Hauler?

TOG, Going to Michigan Race from Ontario. Is there an RGM merchandise trailer @ MIS this weekend? If not, can I still get an autograph from Robby somewhere? Does he have a session booked?

Just called RGM in Charlotte. No merchandise trailer at MIS this weekend. That really sucks for the RG fans up here in the north.

They probably cannot sell enough to cover the expense. I know it sucks. They always stuck it out back where it was hard to find anyway.

Many teams have combined their efforts or are not showing up due to the costs.

Guess I'll have to buy online.

Well, if I can't buy at hat or a tee, maybe one of Robby's crew guys can at least score me a cold Monster Energy Drink for a souvenir when I'm in the pits! I chatted with a guy named Rob Harris one time in Bristol. He was a super nice guy. Is he still with RGM? Maybe he can hook me up! I'd rather score a date with Whitney Duncan, but I'll settle for a can on Monster! Lol.

Robby himself will toss you a Monster if you are in the right place at the right time.

I have to say, if Robby himself tossed me a cold Monster, that would be pretty cool. I can see that though, I've met him a couple of times and he's a pretty down to earth guy. Not like some other pro athletes or other Nascar drivers. I won't mention any names.....

I will. Most of them are really nice guys, with RG and Jimmie Johnson leading the pack. Actually, Dario Franchitti is the second nicest driver I have dealt with, behind only Robby. Darrell Waltrip is a very friendly guy. Michael Waltrip is OK, but seems a little phoney. I've had good experiences also with Jason Keller, John Andretti and Dale Jr.

The only realy prick I have encountered was Joe Nemechek. That might be why he always seems to be losing rides to guys with less talent.Joe's father -- now deceased -- was no prize either. I have heard bad things about Mark Martin but I have never been around him. Tony Stewart can be a real horse's ass when he sets his mind to it, but that's Tony being Tony.

All I want is a flag. I've been trying for the past three years. Watkins Glen, Michigan x3, Darlington............. They have flags this year, however no trailer again. This makes it tough. I'll defend/fight for Robby til the end but this flat out sucks.
