Charlotte or Bust
practice session—
“The Little Team that Could” (as we have now sometimes been called!) with the help of our driver for this weekend, Mike Bliss, put the #71 car solidly in the show, and Qualified 7th!!!!!!
This is HUGE!!!! Rather than telling you the names of the teams and drivers that we out-qualified, its easier to tell you who we didn’t beat 
(Jimmie Johnson, Mark Martin, Kasey Kahne, Matt Kenseth, Tony Stewart & Ryan Newman).
While the team was at the track working hard, Kevin & Torrey were very busy Continue reading ‘The Little Team that Could’
TRG CMO Torrey Galida with Bobby Labonte & VIDA wealth partner Rich Schuette
Mama, take this badge off of me
I can’t use it anymore
It’s gettin’ dark, too dark for me to see
I feel like I’m knockin’ on heaven’s door
- Bob Dylan -
These were the words, as my traveling companions loaded me into the car,…that I was senselessly babbling from the 8 hours of sensation overload. You see, we’d just spent the day at the TRG Motorsports open house in New Jersey Motorsports Park where Continue reading ‘Knock, Knock, Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door…’
Sorry guys—we had a good car.
Logano spun on lap 2 & we missed him. Menard spun on lap 6 & we didn’t. Got about 4 cars. Totally nothing Bobby could have done. Dang it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We will try to turn it into a positive & keep communications going w Mahinda . This is a big company. Continue reading ‘Well isn’t that special….’
New chassis for TRG #71
Deficit spending….seems to work for our government…so why not our race team? Sometimes, the stars all come into alignment and you’re actually worse for wear if you DON’T seize the day. This is today’s situation.
It’s been such a tough year for all teams and yet the perfect year for a team that built it’s entire 15 year history scrapping it out in….***GASP**….sportscar. Much to the dismay of the team’s naysayers, we’ve tried to make so much from so little. Every race that we planned to race started with a new motor ($65k/ea) and we’ve only had the one COT chassis until now…..which is the heart of the issue….it’s NOW or NEVER. Here is Continue reading ‘Today…….We Race’

New Chassis Delivery
Subject: Kansas
Good Morning;
I hope all is well; we are currently finishing our 1st new chassis of the year for Kansas with Bobby Labonte. We are going to load the truck tonight and we be at EGR racing 1stthing in the AM to be on their 4 post pull down machine (also a first for us on 2009) EGR is going to assist us with shocks, springs, bump stops, rear sway bar settings and set up info for Kansas (All like is currently being used by the # 42 team with Juan Pablo)!! This car will be by far our best car and we will be racing this car a lot to finish out the season.
In my post race report from NH, I mentioned about a high center of gravity and the car being heavy! This new car will is projected to be approximately 7.1% to 7.5% lighter, which is huge to a COT NASCAR race car!! Continue reading ‘New Ride - Let’s Labonte Slide’
“The economy and where the sport is at right now and the struggles that some of the teams have had is a

plus for TRG Motorsports because we only have — I think [crew chief] Slugger [Labbe] said there’s only 10 guys now — but those 10 are guys that deserve and are qualified to be on a top-15 team. They were, but due to downsizing it gave us the ability to handpick some people and that gave us a great big difference.” - David Gilliland -
