Bob Pockrass From Scene Daily story with Robby Gordon

Here is a story about Robby Gordon , from Bob Pockrass of Scene Daily , that gives some insight into a few things,including the 2010 Indy 500, as well as the test session.

CONCORD, N.C. – Things aren’t necessarily going as planned for Robby Gordon this season, but he’s planning on racing Sunday in the Tums Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville Speedway.

A few weeks ago, Gordon was planning on putting another driver in his No. 7 Robby Gordon Motorsports car while he competed in the MonsterJam truck competition. But the truck didn’t get done in time, and so he’s now headed to Martinsville – where he’ll have to qualify on speed after a disappointing start to the season led to him falling out of the top 35 in owner points.

Intresting article, I can imagine the crew is working their tails off this week for the paperclip track this weekend. As far as Indy goes, if Rob is able to partner with D. Walker and get the $$ needed for Indy, then I would at the least expect a top ten to twenty effort(just being realistic).Even though Walker has not fielded a car in a few years the cars that the IRL uses are basically six to seven years old and last I heard he still has three chassis and a very capable shop.

Any chance to get a shot in on Jeff Gordon. I love it.

You know, Robby has had some bad luck this season but we haven't run well enough either. To some degree you make your own luck when you qualify and run in the back. I will say this. Robby was lucky to finish 22nd at Bristol. He had a 35th place car.

35th place car the first 200 laps. Top 20 car the last 300 laps.

Not trying to 'start anything' here but I do notice that Rob sometimes exaggerates his results from time to time. I'm pretty sure he was not 12th (TOG's pictures showed him 20th) at Daytona on the last lap nor did he end up losing 20 (lost 8) spots because of Jeffrey.

I'm sure he does that in case there's a potential sponsor out there listening, but it's tough to take the fabrication when you're a huge fan that follows him and knows the truth.

Lol, yes, Robby's been doing that for years. Anytime he refers to a past finish he says he finished a few spots better than he really did. Just another Robbyism we've come to love!
