USF1 Signs Robby Gordon
USF1 Signs Robby Gordon
Robby Gordon will leave NASCAR for the new USF1 team for the 2010 Formula One season.
USF1 co-founder Peter Windsor said: "The opportunity to sign a veteran talent like Robby Gordon was too good to miss."
The move will leave a open seat in Robby Gordon Motorsports Jim Beam Toyota. Gordon assured the team will operate as usual and he already has a "very short list" of drivers in mind to fill the seat for the 2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup season.
Gordon, a 2-time winner in the CART series and no stranger to open-wheel competition said: "This is a great opportunity for me and I'm really looking forward to the first time I will be able to drive a Formula One car. To join USF1 is an amazing challenge and experience which I plan to fully enjoy. However, my short-term aim is to concentrate 100% on winning the 2010 world championship."
Gordon's move to Formula 1 comes as a huge surprise. As the only owner/driver in NASCAR's premier series, Gordon is accustom to being challenged: "I've won in every series I've driven in. A Formula One win would be a nice addition to the trophy case."

Totally got me with that one. Good prank.
I thought, Rob might make that jump if someone dropped a huge pile of cash in his lap. My first thought was if I would bother watching NASCAR anymore or choose a new favorite driver. Leaned towards the former.
