UPDATE: 2/9/12- A new 2 car team onwed by former TRG investors will take over Red Bull Racing's Owner Points in 2012. Landon Cassill will drive the #83 with Doug Richert as crew chief. Travis Kvapil is linked to be the 2nd driver with details to be announced soon.

This means Trevor Bayne and Robby Gordon will have to qualify on speed (or race in during Duels) the first five races of the season.

#71 team not returning in 2012?: Sirius XM NASCAR Radio's Sirius Speedway with Dave Moody has learned that the #71 TRG Motorsports NASCAR Sprint Cup Series team will not return in 2012. Sources close to the team say TRG will announce later this week that it has shuttered its NASCAR operation and will compete only on the Grand Am Rolex Sports Car Series in 2012. TRG finished 36th in Sprint Cup owner points last season, and would not have been a guaranteed starter for the season-opening Daytona 500. TRG Motorsports made a total of 106 starts since joining the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2009, with a pair of Top-10 finishes to its credit. Bobby Labonte claimed a 10th-place finish for the team at Talladega in the fall of 2009, while Mike Bliss finished ninth in the 2010 Coke Zero 400 at Daytona. Team owner Kevin Buckler did not immediately return a call seeking comment today.(Sirius Speedway)

couldn't see that coming (sarcasm alert)

I really hope we bring a Q-set up and deal with race setup at a later point. All indications will not look good if we Q 30th or worse in time trials. There are too many variables in the q-races.

Me thinks, have to wait and see the entry list, then go from there to second guess RGM.......

I wish he would bring a second car, get Ruetimin to drive

Rudy has a ride

Still no confirmation of this. Another dead deal?

I dont see Robby doing a Q-set-up .He can race his way in with one hand.

Like in 2005, right? Anything can happen regardless of how fast you are. You can't ditch Q just because you know you're fast enough to race in.

As per. I noticed something, what will happen will happen its almost as if the holy shit we better dos and I hopes are coming out from hibernation F'n shoot shoot..............shoot. Should have an open topic box on the main board that looks like a garbage can, it can be a place like the water cooler for folks whose lives revolve around what they think, hope and did you hear what lather breath said can hang their hats. I sure have some meaningless drivel to spout but I found out along time ago "I am the only one who cares" The human animal is pathetic in its speculation, for sure one of the saddest attributes we are cursed with. I saw three bears walking along a river here in buffalo one day and not one of them could care about what might happen they just went out and kicked ass........maybe it was three beers and not three bears I can't recall but they did.... you know.... kick it. And while we are talking about top 35 and qualifying in the same breath (well I guess I am anyway) let me say how disgusted I am that some over rated never was here I am dancing out of an American made corporate marketing cake PISS POT gets a spot in a race that .....where was I. Sorry I had a rough week and being the clown of the floor I make 50 cents for every cup of coffee I drink and to be honest so far its worth the 14.50 I made to this point, the ride home is a beach thats for sure. I can't wait for it I'll tell ya', I car pool and the bastards around here already know I'm driving home even though I was not the one who drove in. All Aboard !!! The nervous wreck I hope that what the frigg how come we shoulda train is leavin' the F....F station. P.S. Gas On
Caring is an option that when exercised enables the user to be alone

Like Keith says, looked everyplace and no mention of this anyplace, but who knows what evil nascrap will allow to happen to points now-a-days. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

right on, Michael!

Its all good. He will do what he thinks is best for RGM. And the car is done for the most part now.I Just might have to go.
