Robby Gordon Charlotte Preview
Robby Gordon Charlotte Preview
Charlotte, NC (May 21, 2009) – Robby Gordon will pilot Chassis No. 300 in the NASCAR Sprint Cup season’s longest race of the year at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend. After a strong run last weekend in the Sprint Showdown – starting 32nd and finishing 9th – the No. 7 Jim Beam / Operation Homefront team hopes to utilize what they learned last weekend and implement it into this weekend’s strategy for another solid result.
Gordon will make his 18th start at the 1.5 mile track, with a best finish of 16th and looks to improve upon those statistics this weekend.
Salute the Troops – In honor of Memorial Day, Jim Beam and Robby Gordon Motorsports has asked, veteran John Savage to be an honorary pit crew member during the 600 mile race at Lowe’s Motor Speedway for the No. 7 Jim Beam / Operation Homefront entry. Savage, a former NCO in the U.S. Army Special Operations Command, served his country for 22 years and received his retirement from service due to combat related injuries. Savage currently resides in Asheboro, NC where he mentors youth in martial arts, providing encouragement and a foundation to a better life.
Additionally the No. 7 Jim Beam Camry will sport a special red, silver and blue paint scheme featuring Operation Homefront, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing emergency assistance and morale to U.S. Troops and their families.
Charlotte – “Our No. 7 Jim Beam / Operation Homefront Camry is going to be fast this weekend. If qualifying did not get cancelled last week and we had a better starting position on Saturday night, I truly believe that we would have raced our way into the All-Star Race. We are bringing Chassis No. 300 this weekend to the track, which is not the same car that we raced last weekend. This is the second showing of this car, and I think that we will have a good shot on Sunday night. It is a long race, so anything can happen. We just hope to get a good qualifying run in tonight and be in the position to go for it Sunday,” Gordon stated.
TV and Radio Times – Qualifying is set for Thursday, May 21 at 7:00 p.m. (ET) on SPEED TV, PRN, and Sirius. Race time on Sunday is 5:30 p.m. (ET) and will be broadcast on FOX, PRN, and Sirius.
Appearance Schedule – Gordon will make a pit stop for Jim Beam on Saturday, May 23rd at the ABC Store located at 7000 Hudspeth Road in Concord, NC from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. Please note that you must be 21 years of age to receive an autograph at the ABC Store. Gordon will make another stop on Sunday, May 24th at 2 p.m. at his souvenir trailer before heading to the Jim Beam display at 3:00 p.m. This display is open to the public, but you must be at least 21 years old to enter.

I like how this chassis performed at the Texas race, seemed to be able to be adjusted positively. We will know here in a couple of hours if Robby is fast off the truck in the first practice.. hopefully something they learned in the Showdown can apply to this race car.. and they're using Triad motors which I don't believe they did at Texas.

I hope thus team get a great run this weekend. I live 20 min from Pocono and don't wanna see him as a go or go home car.

Pretty slim chance of that happening now. It is still possible, but not likey since Speed had the DNQ at Darlington. Not that the #7 has much chance of getting higher than 33rd, but its not likey to fall past 35th...

Would worry about the #78 breaking into the top 35 if they up their race schedule soon. They're doing far better per race....

Its past frustrating at this point....especially with the team making little to no improvement...
Damn shame to watch RG fight with Sorenson and the likes for finishes and really no sign of anything changing for the better any time soon.....

i disagree , plenty of changes for the better coming And I know you have no problem eating crow, so I'll throw it on ice...lol...

I HOPE I'm wrong....and there is absolutely room to improve, no one can argue that....

Yeah youre right, so the FACT that he is testing more than ever, building brand new cars, signing new sponsors, will just make him slower. My bad.

he needs to put all of his eggs into infineon, that's the place he does not have to worry about rain and can start top 5 and win. 1 win this year, that's it, that's all i want/

cant reply directly to it, but I think there is NOTHING worse than "putting all the eggs" in the basket of one race. Especially with RGs hit and miss record at Sears Point (Michael Waltrip has a better avg finish there than RG). I want the team to improve and reducing the team and driver to being a road ringer is the LAST thing I would want to see.....
