Robby lost his NASCAR sponsor
The cancellation a couple years back of the Dakar rally was devastating for him.
My guess is that there is a lot of stress right now on sponsors, etc.
Monster drinks- his primary sponsor- has been slapped with a major allegation of product problems.
Great guy, great competitor, but probably struggling for breathing room is my best guess.

Thanks Dick for that inside view of what professional racers deal with.

My information is that RG will be one of the drivers for TT #18 that is in contention for the OA SCORE Championship. I don't know which section he'll
drive but the word is that it will be the bottom (southern) part.

Word is that Robby will share driving duties with his teamate Juan Carlos Lopez in the #18 Speed Energy trophy truck. #18 has a chance for the Score
championship while Robby's #77 doesn't.
Speed Energy has been Robby's sponsor for 2-3 years now.
