I can see him building his own engines for s n p's, but with wind tunnel testing and being all in, why not use a penske engine. RGM engines have the risk of being 2005 Menard's engines. Too bad but good for Paul Menard, all of daddy's millions of $ bought him a trophy.

I agree, Paul's good. And he has a good RCR team behind him.

Any reason RG RARELY runs many practice laps? Blown engine on lap 2 would have shown up if he had run the 'standard' amount of practice laps. He was 'all in' according to this site but sat in the garage 99% of the time.....sniff...sniff...

Should have ran a Penske Engine & if anything went wrong just return it with the original receipt...jk.
I see your point on running more practice laps to shake down the engine, especially an in-house motor. All motors are not Bullit-Proof, just ask the Gibbs camp..lol.
Live & Learn...will only make the RGM program stronger...GasOn!
