Charlotte, NC (November 5, 2009) – The familiar blue and yellow MAPEI colors return to Robby Gordon’s No. 7 Camry this weekend at Texas Motor Speedway, one of the fastest intermediate tracks on the NASCAR circuit. Sunday’s Dickies 500 will mark Robby Gordon’s 13th start at the 1.5-mile oval.

Robby’s Remarks – “We had a strong car during the spring race here,” commented Robby Gordon. “Unfortunately, we had an untimely engine failure. We’ve really been working on our intermediate program, and I know that we’ll have a shot at a good finish here this weekend. I am excited to have MAPEI on the car this weekend and really enjoyed visiting their plant.”
