It was nice to see RG behind the 'first' pace car on the parade laps. Nice qualifying effort...hopefully it will translate to a solid finish.

Maybe it's the haze at the track, but his car is extremely difficult to see. Flip the colors and it would look sweet though.

I could see this scheme better than I can the blue Warner cars which seem to blend with the track and the number doesn't show up as well (for me). For this scheme, maybe outline the orange with some neon yellow or green so it shows up clearer or make the lightning bolt bigger and move it to the other side of the car. I think it would look good with 2 mirror image lightning bolts on the hood so you can see it from the stands and on TV. Looked a little more subtle than I would have thought, but I like it!

This week wasn't important at all, next week is what matters. Let's just be glad he's going into Infineon in the top 35.

It is what it is. bad set of tires on the last stop probably cost him 12 points.

Let's hope next week is just a good solid race with no mistakes and he gets a solid finish which given his recent history on road courses, is not a sure thing.

Just keep looking ahead! Wasn't too good this week, but could have been worse! (glass half full). What do the owner's points look like now?

No position changes in owner points, but RG gained on everyone (slightly) in front of him and lost ground to the two chasing him.

32. 34 - 1112
33. 71 - 1109
34. 37 - 1109
35. 7 - 1060
36. 38 - 995
37. 26 - 982

car was either hot or cold today. I am interested to see what Gene figured out that made the car better. Scanner replay will be available in a few days.
