Bobby is one of "THE BEST" in the business right now IMO...
He was trying to get one of his laps back and while he had the chance to get it back with fresh tires he was letting Jake now he was there. With the spotters and radios, Jake knew who was knockin and didn't want to let him around I guess. Bobby had some bad luck during this race (part of the deal)or he would have easily been in the top four or better at the end. He was fast! There's always next year I guess.

He retired! I just heard...he's going to start doing street rods I guess. It's shame. I really liked seeing his ingiuity. It was kind of old school build your own stuff which I think is very cool!

I over heard a gentleman talk last year during the 2013,little 500,stating that he was going to try to buy the car. Not sure of his name but I think he owns the scrap yard in between fort ville and lapel? Owns a couple indoor midgets?

If this is true, the little 500 just lost something very special. Guess we will have to retire the gray shirts.
