In this month's Racer magazine, he was asked the following question:
From a driving perspective, compare your Winston Cup car to a CART or IRL car?
Robby: "The driver makes less of a difference in Winston Cup. Look at Michael Waltrip. He goes 300 some odd races without a victory and then gets a good car and wins the first race he's in."
LOL! Uhh, Robby, Michael Waltrip thanks you for your inept driving in that 500. He might not have won if it weren't for you causing "the big one" which took out almost half of the grid and defending champion Dale Jarrett.
I would be very receptive to his opinion on which car was the most difficlut to drive, if he replied with something technical. But basing it on the fact that Michael Waltrip won the 500, with the known fact above is simply a laugh. Especially when he has backed his share of Winston Cup cars in the wall and since Michael Waltrip has always been good at the restrictor plate tracks.
BTW, Steve Kinser, who has raced in the IRL and Winston Cup, said a couple of years ago on RMP2nite that a Winston Cup car was more difficult to drive.
