I am excited he is going to be on Directv. If he starts a little further back that is all the more exciting for me. I still hope he starts towards the front, but if he does not GAS ON!

great point. I am very jealous of all you directv owners this weekend. Nothing quite like a live in car camera feed for an entire race, just like they have on the INDYCAR website.

Let's have faith and optimism....Robby is one of the very best road racers out there, if not in fact the best....Sunday is the day, Robby will make sure he's got something in his pocket for the end of the race so he doesn't have to settle for second like at Sonoma....i have a good feeling for this one, i think Robby knows this is his big chance....fingers crossed.

I also saw Marcus get loose quite a bit during the first practice. Maybe he will push too hard trying to make up for Sonoma and stumble.

Tony Stewart held his press conference at Watkins Glen. When asked who will be the Top Drivers here this weekend?
Tony answered, "Ambrose comes first to mind, but Juan & Robby will be fast."
