92, 37, 50, 30 (worried about the 7 - don't know if the car will be better than what we have seen since late April...but as this is Planet Robby - I will be positive!)

You indicated Pocono starting average, was this a typo and should read Michigan starting avg? If it isn't what are the Michigan starting averages? Thanks!

They're Michigan stats (sorry typo)

As for the 7's speed the last few weeks...Per conversations earlier, the team has used the same motor since Charlotte. Leased engines are paid on mileage (600 miles). Therefore they were using the miles up on that motor saving money. This week RGM will show up with a "qualifying package" at Michigan (per TOG). I seriously doubt RGM misses the race unless he wrecks or has a mechanical failure.

Gonna be there so Robby better make the race. Does any 1 know if he will be signing any where in Michigan? After that run at the Prelude I hope JJ Yeley makes the race. Hopefully, I will have some good pics added by Monday.
