Herdmaster Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Pretty bad day for Jeff Burton. 705981[/snapback] I thought Burton's car was great! He got shuffled back three times and found his way to the lead pack every time. If the engine hadn't let go..top ten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbimm Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 If Robby Gordon is available...snatch him up now! He is "The Man" for road courses. Your wife has a pretty good team as well, you guys should do real well. On a side note, did anyone catch the truck race last night?? How about those two trucks that flipped over..and kept on driving!!! Good stuff...helluva finish!! 704578[/snapback] Robbie Gordon is the driver for roadcourse races but you have to keep in mind he is owner of his own team this season and will not have the equiptment he has had in the past for those races. Mears and Said are probably safer choices this season. Just got back home from Daytona and all I can say is the was freakin awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herdmaster Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 You could give R.Gordon a donkey pulled cart, and I still wouldn't bet against him at a road course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrograde assault Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Robbie may have bit off more than he can chew this year. Is he running his own team because he is too volatile a personality to work for someone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herdmaster Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 That's a possibility. Very few drivers can run their own teams, there have been a few exceptions but for the most part...you gotta have a teammate...or a ton of cash!

Retrograde assault Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Gonna be interesting to watch Robbie this year thats for sure. Another thing, I don't know anything about Jrs new crew chief, is this a road block in his teams development or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior has a pretty good head on his shoulders (like his father) and he's gambling on this shake up to be just what his team needs. If you notice, he kept Tony Eury in house (he's Waltrips crew chief) so it was more of a re-alignment rather than a change. We'll know if it was a good move at about the mid-way point.
