2019 Robby Gordon Headquarters
Kevin Conway's Response
Kevin Conway released a statement Monday evening: "I don't mind stiff competition, but I want to make sure the hard facts are told.
Really, is this an appropriate time to be making sponsor plugs, I thought this was a serious situation that Kevin went to the police about?
First and foremost, I love being a part of NASCAR and have worked very hard to earn the privilege of competing in the Sprint Cup Series.
Worked, earned....debatable at best.
On Friday night, Robby Gordon, who has a long history of issues in NASCAR decided to ambush me in the garage area at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, completely unprovoked.
RG's past is just that, past issues. How exactly do you get ambushed in a Cup garage, its almost too fan friendly at time and most sources initially said nobody saw the situation.
Robby even confronted Joe Nemechek, my car owner, on pit road during Cup Series qualifying shoving him and telling him that he was looking for me and going to assault me.
So wait, he assaulted Joe , threatened to harm you and you still decided to go around him. Seems like if that was the case you would either avoid that person, or confront them. So why go over to the Cup garage unless it was for the confrontation?
We have many witnesses including a crew chief that signed a police report documenting the truth of his physical attack on me.
So wait, now other people saw this and its automatically the "truth" just because its signed on a police report. If its legally documented, why not name this person directly?
Situations like this are not good for our sport. It's one thing if we were racing each other and I wrecked him or he wrecked me, that's an entirely different situation. I
Sure, both RG and Joe need his stuff torn up and Nascar just thrives on intentional wrecking, clearly this would have been a better route.
It's very unfortunate that he chose to physically attack me to address his rage. Our fans, sponsors and NASCAR expect and deserve more from our competitors than this bullish, illegal behavior that was displayed by Robby against me."
Bullish and Illegal are both his opinion, but in his defense, Extenze has a pretty "firm grasp" on "hard facts" when it comes to things being illegal. The did have that 6 million dollar out of court settlement. Plus already have pending issues with RGM and Front Row.

wonder if Conway is thinking of suing Nascar for creating unsafe and harassing work environment since his lacks a career as a driver.

Conway sent out that PR crap to do one thing only...attempt to keep his name and his worthless sponsor in the news. Notice how he made several references with "hard" and "firm" and any other cheesy word to associate his sponsor. He loves to throw in the Raybestos Rookie of the Year title also.
It's all publicity on his side...he's desperately trying to attempt to ride on Robby Gordon's name and create any type of reason for people to see his name, sponsor and Rookie of the Year title.
Geez.....
Maybe Robby should work out a deal to have a Pay-Per_View UFC type fight with Conway. Not sure many would pay to see that...but who would pay to see? I would pay to see Smoke and Carl Edwards go at it!
