according to Bob Pockrass, he tweeted this: Sam Hornish Jr practiced Robby Gordon car today as weather kept Gordon from getting to track. #nascar

When you have a gaurantee'd start at Talladega,does it really matter where you start? Saturday Q run= practice. IMO

Hmm. I just read an interesting tidbit about Paul Tracy's team, Dragon racing:

After closing its doors in February 2011, Jay Penske revived the team. A month later, he re-branded the team as Dragon Racing in April 2011 and jointly announced that Paul Tracy had signed a five-race deal to compete for the team. Additionally the team will be entering the Indy 500 with a different driver, to be named.

So, for your consideration, will we see Speed Energy on the side of Paul's car in Long Beach (and maybe beyond)? And could the "different driver" for Indy be RG?

Just something to ponder...........

Anything is possible. All I know is that Speed Energy Unleaded is addicting.

One of PT's sponsors for Long Beach is Rockstar Energy drink .... so no, probably not.

Yeah. I just saw that, AND Pepsi on the car.

Maybe that's a one-off??

Seeing how Robby has been playing quid-pro-quo with grocery and convenience stores, (Basha's, Food City, Terrible Herbst) for stocking Speed Energy drink, the main sponsor for Paul, Ralph's (a major supermarket chain in California) would fit nicely in that mold.
