Promblems at Brickyard for Gordon

(Cup Roundup) Radio Report

 

Robby Gordon looked to have a strong car when he suddenly had to make a pit for overheating problems. Gordon, along with Carl Edwards, Dale Earnhardt, Jr and others experienced early overheating issues. What looked like a strange series of events, ressembling the Indy "tire issue," one by one cars dove to the pits with water boiling out. After Robby exited the pits trying to stay on the lead lap, his right front tire exploded on the track ending his chances.

 

Robby Gordon has had a year of "Highs" and "Lows." In fact, Robby Gordon does very well when he's competitive. This year, Robby's has finished no worse than 20th when finishing on the lead lap. The highlight was a runner-up finish at Sears Point. The flip-side is Robby has only finished 4 times on the lead lap this season.

Do your homework. The reason they removed the apron was to prevent this.

The better safety tubs we have today and the SAFER barrier would hopefully prevent things like that. Either way, get rid of the pretty grass.

I would like to see Robby make another attempt at the 500. He always runs strong when free of equipment problems.

And with the new IRL rules package in theory he could build the body himself. 'Gordon Dalara anyone'

Same can be said for Nascar
