2019 Robby Gordon Headquarters
UPCOMING EVENTS
With this being a slow week (still waiting on those Montreal Nationwide peek pics @TOG)...thought I would give my opinion on the UPCOMING EVENTS:
Brickyard 400: With RGM planning to bring 2 cars to Indy, having both in the show would be a huge win for RGM. With last place paying over $130,000 having 2 grabbing nice paydays will help. Indy is a track Robby loves. Robby has an average finish of 25th, with 2 Top 10's. Robby's highest finish is 6th, his lowest was 36th (last year after a blown tire and DNF). His highest finish with RGM is 22nd.
Scott Wimmer: has an average qualifying of 29th. Scott's best start was 22nd and his worst was 34th.
With Pocono sanwiched in bewteen Indy & Watkins Glen and likely to a S&P race. A good finish and points days will go a long way. The #71 and #38 team are both within 12 points or less from catching RGM. Both must qualify their way in and having one, or both, DNQ would ease the pressure.
My prediction, Robby & Brad working together after 2 weeks will have both RGM cars ready. If Robby can stay out of trouble, a solid Top 20 finish is very reachable. Not sure if the speed will be there for Wimmer to make the show, but it will be close 50/50 close...but I think he gets it done.
Pocono: S&P or maybe a little more depending on the points situation...(audible watch)
Montreal: Expect nothing but "ALL OUT" for this race. If Robby can avoid an on track issues and the yellows fall there way...expect Robby to be in it to win it at the end. Always a crazy race...just have to be in it at the end to have a chance. The year has had alot of disappointing finishes, but with MAPEI on the ride and Robby way over due...I think he finally gets that much needed win.
Watkins Glen: I fully expect RGM to have 2 cars again (PJ alert). RGM will insert the Penske powerplant and Robby will be in "All-in!" mode. If Robby can keep the car clean (stay away from the 20), and not get bit by a yellow, he should be in the mix. I'm sure RGM learned alot from Infenion and will make sure they capitalize this time.
Watkins Glen is statistically Robby's best track. He as an average finish of 13th. Last year RG had mechanical trouble and that lowered his average when he finished 36th. In 12 races Robby has 7 Top 5 finishes. If Robby is running at the end, a Top 5 and/or a win will be in reach!
Drink more SPEED!

Has "Harris Teeter" on the rear quarter, so probably for somewhere in the southeast.

Thank BAL, some endangered tortoises or the like live in the area. They almost pulled the plug on last year's event but managed to run it despite the gov interference.

My computer geek is trying to blow that photo up to see who the name over the door is. So far he says it looks like an M in the first name and a W in the last...........@ sir Alex and the gang a Pocono memory. We decided to park along the fence at the exit of turn one in the infield and could see all the way down the back straight, in watching Robby go down it he looked like he dive bombed the three cars ahead of him in turn two and made an insane pass. Needless to say it was a daring move that while looked wild did not "stick". What a great view of it. Back in the Childress days I enjoyed watching him at Pocono...hell or high water and when the high water came that's when the fun started.
"Does anyone have the clip when Rob spun and did like 120 in reverse along the wall and spun it back around"
