Robby Gordon Martinsville Post Race Quotes

From Dodge Motorsports:

ROBBY GORDON (No. 7 Fast Five/SPEED Energy Dodge Charger R/T) Finished 23rd "We had a really good car today until somebody got into me and shoved me into another car. That messed the front end up; it seemed to overheat at that point. We had to pull some tape off which made the car tighter. It was an OK day. We would have rather run better with the movie "Fast Five" on the car. When the No. 2 (Brad Keselowski) had the flat tire, if they (NASCAR) had thrown the caution, we would have been back on the lead lap and there were just a few cars on the lead lap at that time. We would have been in good shape, but overall, it was a good day. That last stop, we pitted a little too early. We pitted under green and the caution came out. That put us two more laps down. We finished 23rd. It could have been a better finish with any luck."

nice race for Robby and the guys like to see more of this kind of bad luck.And NASCAR needed to throw the yellow more often but it is what it is.

Are you kidding me?
Did you see how many of NASCAR"S golden boys would have been a lap down if they threw the yellow for the 2 car?
No way the Gods Of Nascar would have let that happen.

I totally agree with you on that one Carl. The gods would never do that sh*t. I do not know what happened to the front of the car or what lap it happened on, but all in all it was a good points day. Martinsville has been natoriously bad for Rob in the past and a 23rd is way better than 39th. Oh well, on to Texas and have another to 20ish or better, day.
