After reading this over and over, I can't help but to laugh! I don't see why everyone thinks RC is a crybaby? What has he done to you guys? I think it's pretty sad myself when your car owner has to defend your ass from the media after you let your foot get ahead of your brain. But it shows that you have a classy car owner, my friends. RC is a great car owner, no doubt about it.
No, i'm not saying this just because i'm a Harvick fan, but it's the honest truth.
And as far as the better equipment situation goes, it can go both ways. If you have a driver running for the championship, wouldn't you pour more into it than the others? Anybody with half a brain would do that. Take Hendricks' situation for example...
Why give Terry Labonte the better end of the deal when you have Jeff and Jimmie both running for the championship? I know its not fair, but that's racin. You have to go with what wins. That's how the world of racing goes around.
And last but not least, RCR does need some major changes. They had these same issues in 2002, but came back in 2003 like no other. Hopefully we'll see that same ordeal next season, but it's gonna take more this time. The 29 needs a little improvement, the 30 needs a little bit more, and the 31 needs everything.. possibly a new driver. Don't get me wrong, Robby has a helluva lot of talent, but it seems like he doesn't know how to use it. Blocking team-mates doesn't do it, nor does wrecking other competitors intentionally. And yeah, before I see the usual "Well, Kevin has done the same," or "Kevin isn't as innocent as you may think," or "Kevin doesn't have as much hair as Robby".... Guys, I know. Kevin has caused a lot of trouble since 2001, but he's been pretty calm since 2002 and you know that. Robby should bring up his own team to Nextel Cup, then he'd be a in a league of his own, but I wouldn't expect it to be a clean one at all.
Just my .02 cents.
