Robby Gordon unlikely to run NASCAR in 2013 - UPDATE "Never rule anything out" 12/21/12

Not a big surprise to some of us...

Robby Gordon, who raced his way into the Daytona 500 last year as part of a light NASCAR schedule, is not scheduled to do any NASCAR racing in 2013. Spokesperson Alison McCabe said she doesn't think Gordon will participate in NASCAR due to his involvement in his new racing project, Robby Gordon's Stadium Super Trucks series. The 12-race off-road stadium series will debut April 6 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. The Stadium Super Trucks series will be televised by NBC and the NBC Sports Network. Sponsorship woes with his self-owned team led to him racing only three times in 2012: the season-opener at Daytona, race No. 2 at Phoenix and the road-course race at Sonoma. He failed to qualify for early-season races at Las Vegas and Fontana. (12/19/12)

 

UPDATE: "With Robby's attention towards the 2013 Dakar Rally and the inaugural season of Robby Gordon OFF-ROAD's Stadium SUPER Truck Series (SST), there has been a lot of speculation regarding his future NASCAR plans. We are all focused on providing an exciting kick-off to the 2013 SST season at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ on April 6th. At the same time, we would never rule out the possibility of running selected NASCAR events."(RGM/Spokesperson Alison McCabe)(12-21-2012)

Robby will let Tony Stewart take over 7 car with Patrick in the seat. RGM/Stewart Racing...so Tony doesnt have to share with Haas. Satellite Team...with any free agent driver.....Or go the Rent A NASCAR Team route

Congress is going to work very hard to get Dodge back for 2013....RGM will be the lead dog on landing this deal. Robby will use the cars that are ready and work along side Dodge during EngineShop move...formally Penske, to his NC shop. With some new construction...can hold a second or 3rd team thats needs a garage and shop to prep cars.

Little late in the game for them to be doing that dontcha think? That said, if factual, would be awesome. I'm always down for more racing!
