I guess I gotta start rooting for Harrah's now.

I'll root.... as soon as you get us pit passes.

Go Robby, Go! I guess I can root for him since he's a huge underdog attempting to run and own his own ride. But I can't tell you I've been a huge fan. Seeing him and Jeff Gordon wreck into each other used to be the highlight of my season.

I developed a lot more respect for Robby after watching some of his desert racing antics.. that man is insane and seems to have no fear of just about anything.

I'll agree he;s a hell of a driver... much better than I used to give him credit for. But, it's hard to root for someone that I used to crash and knock out the guys I was rooting for. 'Course, that's also how I felt about Tony Stewart, and I've come around to being a fan of his. Maybe Robbie should start doing some Sports Car racing on the side too...

Robby had a rough race today at Fontana, DNF with engine failure.

Yeah, that was too bad. There were a bunch of engine failures though, tough race.

Finally! Robby led a lap, and ran in the top 10 for a bit at Martinsville. Race continues....
