    Do the road courses lead to more aggressive driving?

    By some. There are some road course specialists, like Boris Said and Montoya, who are more comfortable on that type of course. Someone correct me if I'm wrong - aren't all of Robby Gordon's Cup victories on road courses?

    Only if you want to spin out. These guys (and cars) don't take to the road courses that well.

    You're wrong. He won at Loudon in 2001.

    How the hell did that happen?
    Does Loudon even count? Does he have two on road courses?

    He won both Cup road races in 2003.

    That was the one postponed after 9-11; it was run the day after Thanksgiving with starting order set on owner's points as of Sept. 13. Robby won in the 31 car and there was a rumor that the team was nearly penalized for using tires not mounted at that track (they used a leftover set of Martinsville tires).

    Do the drivers look forward to racing at Glens Falls, where there aren't any walls?

    That's not where you want to end a spinout.

    Montoya got knocked a bit sideways by Truex. Montoya then runs into Harvick. Burton also involved. Harvick pulled his car up to keep Montoya from getting back on the track. The two then get out of their cars and start pushing and shoving.
