Owner's Points After Michigan

32) #34-Conway/Front Row: 1112, +117
33) #37-Gilliland/Front Row: 1109, +114
34) #71-Labonte/TRG: 1109, +114
35) #7-Gordon/RGM: 1060, 65 points ahead of 36th
these teams/ drivers must qualify by speed:
36) #38-Kvapil/Front Row: 995, 65 points out of the top 35
37) #26-Stremme/Latitude43: 982, -78

RGM can move UP:

RGM can move up to 34th by beating the 71 by 17 positions

RGM can move up to 33rd by beating the 71 and 37 by 17 positions

RGM can move up to 32nd by beating the 71 and 37 by 17, and the 34 by 19 positions

RGM can fall out of the Top 35

38 beats RGM by 22 positions, or the 26 beats RGM by 27 positions and RGM fails to beat the cars ahead of him to gain positions.

*Boris Said will likely drive the 26 car. If Boris finished in the Top 10 and RGM finished 37th or worse RGM could be outside the Top 35.

Other Notes:

Not many teams will "Start & Park" this weekend.

The 09 team will have Jan Magnussen and plans to compete.

RGM will field a 2nd entry 07 car with PJ Jones

I am and I will be there.......It will be a great weekend. Love watching Robby get around that place. Sure the big team drivers have picked it up, they had. As long as Robby does'nt wheel hop, keeps the fenders out of the wheels and watches fuel, he will be fine.34th in owner pnts. In the show

The driver is not the problem at Infineon it is the strategy that's been the problem

All I know is that this place is like a broken record every year at this time. Everyone gets all hyped up and acts like it's a given that Robby is going to win there or at least get a top ten and then Sunday evening everyone's jumping off of bridges because we finish 35th due to a parts failure, or running out of gas. All I'm saying is don't get your hopes up too much this year. It's not that I don't think he can do it, because he can. It's that RGM in it's Cup history has never put a top 10 together at Sonoma. Watkins Glen has been better but the last couple of years there have been no peach either. Hope for the best but don't expect a great finish like it's a given. I'm done with that game.

Exactly...I'll repost what I said in a previous thread last week about those who point out RG has not had a top 10 at Sonoma since 2003..

It's easy to cherry pick those stats at Sears Point....but you have to delve a little deeper..

2004 tire fell off on lap 10...WTF? lol
2005 was running third had fastest car on track when the transmission locked in 3rd gear...rallied from a lap down to 12th before running out of gas and finishing 16th..
2006 had another great car..first green flag pit stop killed us as we came in 2nd went out 8th and an immeidate tangle with Boris Said killed our day by knocking in the toe and causing a tire failure eventually
2007 when mcmurray stole our pole and we had the best car all day, led the most laps and stupid fuel mileage with the COT killed us when Reed Sorenson ran out of talent on lap 67
2008 another one where we had a great car but stayed ot 1 lap too long ran out of fuel and got run over by Kurt Busch race I believe on lap 70..lol
2009 Again...one of the best cars out there...bit by bad luck on that Bobby Labonte Caution otherwise we would have been racing Kahne and STewart for the win

So yeah, feel free to point to the final number and say we'r enot good there anymore, but every year we had a car that could have won the whole damn thing except for some of the worst luck/pit strategy decisions I have ever seen...
