I don't know, that mad, two lap finish to the ISW show at Kokomo, where you knew that he would be doing everything to win and fight that mud packed rear . . .

Even without the dramatic action at the flag stand, that was an outstanding race.

Thanks for the information, Clubber Lane. That helps drive home the point that Robert is one he** of a driver. THAT, Kokomo, LBurg, and a number of other places. All of us have our favorite memories of super-exciting drives Robert has made. It has always sort of mystified me that he doesn't seem to get mentioned nearly as much as a few others when we talk about our favorite, exciting drivers. And that is in no way meant to take anything away from our other favorites, just an observation that Robert should be mentioned with them.

Robert, best of luck in getting a good ride for the rest of the year. I know that if you do, the fans will be the ones who benefit.

and as nice as we've been to Robert this year with free t-shirts and memberships, he's never apologized for taking days off of our lives this year. Vicki and I we're sitting in the front row at Kokomo that night, and there for a moment, all we saw was the bottom of the #81 coming at us. thanks again to Kokomo Speedway for not using cheap fence. if ya got a car and gas money, hire this guy. he'll drive it into the trailer at the end of the night with a fistfull of cash. bob:checkered:

I think I would leave Hagen at the "house", put BaBa Balough in that car, make sure I had Darel Tate to "wrench" nothing against Jim Whiteside but these 2 together with Bland and Balough driving just might bring home all the money!!!

Dog gone what a combination that would be!!!!

Go Truckers Team... I support your decision behind letting T-Mez go also.
