TOG, Even though I believe that P.J will make the race tomorrow if he does happen to miss it how much of a financial hit would it be for RGM even though it is Robby's backup car?

I think Robby made a comment that once 2010 contracts were resolved in November, 2011 sponsorship opportunities are being pursued / looked promising (or some such thing)...nothing specific.

RG knows what he is doing at that track,

he doesnt have to get in the comfort zone (turning laps) like most drivers do. he can focus on the corners he needs to

Gas on and tear them up on Sunday

A pole would put Robby in the Shootout or the Allstar race next year. A win would put him in one or the other, wouldn't that be nice?
I vote for a pole and a win!

A pole woud be great, but it is no longer the criteria for the Budshootout. I think they had to change the rules a few years back to make sure Jr. was in the race :).
