I have no dog in this fight.... but 99.9% of this board likes and respects Dave Darland..... so I would ask this question.

If DD was in Kyle's spot, what would DD have done? Or Stanbrough.... Cottle.... any one of those drivers?

Robert is a hard charging driver..... I think everyone knows that. In that situation I don't see him lifting.... and he didn't. I know Kyle is as good a driver as Ballou. I really don't think Kyle would have lifted had the roles been reversed. Purely my opinion.
