Well we only had one disaster between top-5s this time so maybe the tide is turning....
Juan has a pretty ugly record at Richmond really....I remember last year being ecstatic with a 10th place! Obviously in the fall race the priority was securing the Chase berth so its hard to tell if there was any improvement...
Overall I'm not looking forward to the next two weeks, I just hope we can get through them without losing too much more ground. Once we get to Dover we've a pretty good stretch of tracks which is where Juan really got the results that got him in the Chase last year.

In response to the last link, If I were Brian, Id put Memo or Scott in the cup car and start tuning the Sonoma car now. The 42 team needs the points and the win. Even though JPM wants to win at in oval, a win on the road course is huge this year.

This races will be 100 races since Sonoma. So yes we need to get back in Victory lane. Don't know if it will happen here, this isn't one of his strongest tracks. But then again, he finished every race he finished so far this season in the top 10 (3 top 5's), so the pace is there. _________________

I think Juan will be good at Richmond. We have good cars everywhere now and we have finished in the top 10 there in the past. Just stay out of trouble, easier said than done lol.

Hi guys, new member on here.
Hopefully another Top 10/Top 5 run make up some points on those at the back end of the 12 and another step forward to the Chase.
