Well if RG does run Pocono his car should be ready, the car he ran at Indy should be set up for a run at Pocono, just throw a motor in it and go, and since they changed the gear rule there and are now shifting RG stands the chance at a good finish...

If he started nearly dead last at a track he likes, id think it would be a pretty big risk to take the same car to Pocono. I wonder what costs are involved in taking a car and team to the track then not qualifying for the race.

He has to qulify on speed this weekend? Is everybody in the top 35 running?

Everyone keeps saying that Robby *hates* Pocono and I always thought that he hated Martinsville. Apart from Robby's bread and butter tracks, Daytona Dega and any road course, anyone want to guess where Robby had his seson best finish in 23rd place? Maybe Robby isn't as bad as we think at the "bad" races and have too high of an expectation for the "fun" races. Good at the Bad and No Fun at the Fun.

Time Flies especially after the break they had before Indy. The next few weeks should be interesting...

Sorry Tog, I just got frustrated. Robby is the man, I hate when people bash his program all the time. Here we go pocono

After the July 4th Daytona result, I don't think that is considered a "bread and butter" race.

Things could be worse. Have you seen Michael Waltrip faking like he's playing the piano in a 'Fat Elvis' suit in the Napa commercial? Now that's a career buster.
