Richmond testing

[RGFan]

What in the hell is going on..... RG is at/near the bottom of the speed charts AGAIN for testing at Richmond!!!!!!!!! Kenny Fricken Wallace is at the top, that is not a typo, I am not meaning Rusty Wallace. Do not get me wrong, I have been an avid RG fan for very well over a decade, so I know what being an RG fan thru good times and bad is all about.. But getting your *** handed to you by Furniture Row Racing and some has been late model driver.........I am going to go nuts!!! Where in the F is Ford Racing. Granted the Ford teams have not been stellar this season, but they have not been horrible either. Screw this, I am going to bed:mad:

If Kenny Wallace is at the top of the board its because he doing qualifing runs and everyone else is doing race runs...A practice sheet will tell you nothing unless your there... especially at Daytona and Taladega... dont even pay attention to them

I feel your frustration, Ford needs to step up now.

I beg to differ.This is a two day test only at Richmond (3/4 mile track), not a race weekend, much less, not at a super speedway (drafting track) as you suggested. If Kenny Wallace is the only car to be doing qualifying runs out of 60 cars testing, that would be an absolute first for a test session of this type. 40 plus teams with a brand new car with only two races under it will be testing anything and everything to get it figured out. Under these circumstances, a test session will tell you alot!!! RGM has finished in the bottom 10 in the past two races with the COT, which goes right along with their testing speeds. As much as I hate to say it, they seem to be behind the ball with the COT, the finishes back up that assertion(33rd and 34th in the COT compared to all top 21's in the other 4 races in the old cars). The lack of sponsorship with Harrah's pulling out has not helped things much either. That deal has taken roughly 4 million from RGM's pockets, 4 million that could have been applied to R&D/testing.

Did Kenny W's team buy the COT's from the 32 team or just the old cars?

[RGFan]

That is a good question..........Regardless, he was consistantly fast, which is absolutely dumbfounding to me

Furniture Row racing which is based in Denver Colorado gets their cars from MB2 now Ginn racing I belive... maybe some sort of lease deal on hendrick engines too not sure bout that... I know they hired Dave Capriotti to do their stuff in house... They deffently have resources than 7 post shaker pretty much an unlimited budget... the guy Barney which owns Furniture row is deffently not hurting...
