Why Did The 77 Team Shut Down?

--Nobody could figure out how to spell Travis Kvapil's name, but nobody was brave enough to ask him.

--The team had already run with Bobby Hillin. And when you've had Bobby Hillin, everyone else is a disappointment.

--Kodak decided to spend their money elsewhere, like on convincing people to buy camera film for their digital cameras.

--7 might be a lucky number, but the two 7's on the car were cancelling each other out. Of course, this doesn't explain the Robby Gordon phenomenon.

--Kvapil took Rusty Wallace's side in the Wallace-Newman feud. Don't cross the Rocketman. Don't.

--They always "forgot" to clean out their garage stalls at Pocono. Fellas, the Matolli's carry a LOT of weight in this sport.

--They just weren't very good.
