Great day of racing at the track today, I'm getting older and it's getting harder (no Extenze jokes please) to keep up with my old race party ways. Had to hit the snooze button several times this morning. Just one more day to go, but it's the big one (once again, no Extenze jokes please). Looks like Monday could be a sick day.

The 7 car did look good today, ran consitant times and didn't seem to stuggle with set ups. And a Menards #7 even won today dominating. Let's hope the streak continues.

Air gun jammed on the first GREEN flag pitstop, costing RG about 10 seconds.

As soon as I heard Miles say the gun broke I felt so bad for Chris and the guys.

It was a hell of day coming back from that.
I think this was the best NH race in long time. There was no "This isn't the same car".
He killed them in 3 and 4. Using the apron when he could.

If anyone says RGM cars can't match the competition should look at the video of this race. He held his own with the leaders for most of the race. And held them off easily.

The spotter was great. Plenty parts info and cheerleader.
-TOG was that KC's spotter?
And will we have Speedfactory.tv big boy underoos?
I almost spit my adult beverage all over the guy in front of me when I heard that!

I did see Rob put the bumper to the 38 in turn 2 just after a restart. That put a big smile on my face.

And now onto Dover and KC!

Spotter's name is Patrick & he used to spot for Mcdowell.

Great job Sunday to Robby and the rest of the team. Pulled away from the 38, now 110 clear, 150 clear of the 26 and only 39 from the 71 in 34th. GAS ON!

good race, 26th is way better than in the 30's or a S&P

i wasnt able to follow as close as i could, so dont bash me if its so obvious.

But why in the heck counldnt he get a wave around and get back on the lead lap yesterday?

Will all those cautions he was doing alright (it seemed), and everytime the race restarted he was at the back of the pack.

I know the live 22 second SpeedFactory.TV comercial didnt help the race.

Just curious.

He did take a wave around a little past mid race to get back on the lead lap after falling -1 due to the failed airgun pit stop,

He only had 40 laps of fuel before he needed to pit and unfortunately it stayed green and he went 1.9 laps down on his green pit there.

He stayed ahead of bowyer to nto go -2 for a while, but eventually succumbed and then the yellow came out.

So we waved around to -1 and then another yellow fell right away cementing our -1 status.

Unfortuantely from there, were not able to get a LD (which we held the spot for a good 20-30 laps) or utilize a wave aorund..remmeber, you just cannot wave around...all cars on the lead lap who are in front of you track position wise ont he current lap must pit for you to be able to wave around. That situation never materialized for Robby after he cemented his -1 status as Tony, Jeff, and Clint stayed out on all those cautions.
