Long time Blue fan. From his days of winning first two Lawrenceburg Nationals. Both on old and new track to his total dominations of lakeside. and Calstoga runsA

He went national I think in 2012 A few years later gained USAC champion status. His racing had changed some, Not all on the cushion but a combo that made him a better overal races and not just able to win a few at bigger traks now and then. He conqured he slicks and slick quarters too.

After the #1 plate jinx this is the first year i've seen the champion form thruought. It was always something, His weight, motor, chassis didn't feel good yet.


I kinda got upset with him for track bashing, Except for a few dangerous dust situations. Everyone else was on the same track at everyone. Sure they weren't what he wanted. But still.

Nobody helps so many others out in racing. All the time I hearing he put up lights in my shop for me, Or rescued that racer on he highway who broke down. He's always first to say hi if you come by his pit. First to sit a kid in his racecar. seen him help another team get up and down highway almost two seasons and get their first big win.

Roberts had a rollercoaster season but the speed and threat are back at every track.

Get well BLU.

I stood up and cheered both Robert and Chase at the Action Track a few weeks back. Been going to races for nearly 60 years and that one was right up near the top. Thank you and get well soon.
