Travis Kvapil has had a few good top 10 runs this year, do you expect to see more good finishes (more inside)?

Question

Also do you think that Yates is turning it around now with the runs that Kvapil and Gilliland have been able to have this year.

They still do struggle, but it seems as though they are able to sneak into the top 10 every few weeks.

Answer 1

Travis is doing great. I think he will get better. I think with Doug Yates running the company he's more willing to get assistance from Roush/Fenway than his dad was. His dad was a prideful man that built an auto racing empire. So he wanted to do it his own. He started budging a little when they got together with the engine programs, but Yates was the biggest contributor as far as knowledge goes on that. Anyhow, I really wouldn't be surprised if the 28 got a win, especially on a plate track. Travis is a great driver and a great person, he deserves it.

Answer 2

I hope so!  I am glad he is back in Cup.  I was kinda wondering why is was let go.  I think he is a good racer.

Answer 3

I think that Travis is doing a bang up job, I always felt that he belonged in the Cup Series and I would like to see him succeed.

As for our boy David, I think that he got moved to the Cup Series WAY to early, I feel that if he doesn't really pick up his performance, he could be jobless sooner than later.  David has had 1 top 10 run to Travis's 3.

Answer 4

i think kvapil is a great guy and a great racer - that's my opinion.  he was given a little more time to "mature" in the truck series, and it is showing now.

as for gilliland, well, there's the old saying about rising to your level of incompetence, and i think, at least for now, the boy has done just that.  he's more often an obstacle than a contender. not that he's a bad guy or anything, he just seems to have been thrown into the deep end of the pool a little too early. he's just now beginning to tread water - time will tell if he will sink or swim.

again, just my opinion...
