Robby not racing at New Hampshire?

Nascar.com is reporting that Robby has decided not to run next weekend at New Hampshire because of lack of sponsorship. Robby Gordon Motorsports will be running a car with P.J. Jones only. Is this true!

I guess the theme for this week should be....

Want to run a NASCAR race? Bring a check with the proper amount of 0's and you can run a race i the #7 car!

Business is business ! On that note, RG will be handling business in South America , & the end result will benefit his fanbase who support the Dakar program( which should be everybody...lol...)

hmm drivers and sponsors that might surprise us...Is that surprise as in 'delight' or surprise as in 'shock'?

OK - I will make some guesses..

Andrew Ranger and the Canadian Tourism Board
Ryan Hunter-Reay and Ethanol USA
Mattias Ekstrom dumps Red Bull and is sponsored by IKEA
Michael Waltrip and Showtime (although the way he has been qualifying lately - not so sure this would be a good surprise)

Better yet, go to his team store and order ANYTHING for $20 . Easy as that. His store, his profits.Who cares if its a 2009 Jim beam shirt ?? Then donate the shirt to Goodwill. You just helped !!

If full sponsorship for New Hampsire for the #7 appeared, would Robby change his mind and race himself or is that even possible?

Thanks, TOG . That's what I thought. I don't like the idea of anybody else in the #7 but that's the way it is.

well, this is a bummer for all of us fans here. I agree with TOG that money is money, a business is a business. I'm still hopeful though because i do remember a couple years back ('08 i think?) he came to New Hampshire without a sponsor and Camping World jumped on board last minute, so anything's possible.
