Oct 29, 2009 at 3:48 PMHis dad is the CFO or VP I think of Zaxby's. Only reason he has a ride, although you can attribute some of the poor performance to his equipment. RAB cut their alliance with Roush, and haven't had that great equipment.
Report as AbuseSupposedly Townley's going to RCR full-time next year. We'll see then if it's equipment or talent because everyone's won that has driven RCR equipment lately.

Oct 30, 2009 at 11:09 AMIsn't this the guy who seems to find the fence in practice, qualifying, and racing more often than ever seeing the end of the race? This guy makes Paul Menard look like AJ Foyt. Childress must be really strapped for cash to have him in a RCR car if the rumors are true.
