2019 Robby Gordon Headquarters
If this reporter knew what we knew listening to the scanner.
If only this guy heard when Robby told his spotter to ask the 10 for help since he was another lap down from him.. Crew chief said "sure", Driver Said "sure"... someone else came over the radio and said "no!" Geez.. I wonder who that was????
Quote:
Having raced against Robby Gordon for a number of years in Champ Cars, I would have figured that Patrick Carpentier was more than familiar with Gordon's style of racing – which, simply put, is "get out of my way or I'll wreck you." Gordon just flat-out ran over Carpentier late in the race, putting the Gillett Evernham rookie into the wall. The real story here is that both drivers are fighting for a spot in the top 35.
"I don't know what he doesn't understand in his brain there," Carpentier said. "He just took me out. That was it."
Gordon won this battle and remains in the top 35, while Carpentier's GEM Dodge is 38th.
However, keeping his team in the top 35 may mean nothing unless Gordon can keep his race team afloat amid the multiple lawsuits he faces and the absence of a deal with a manufacturer or sponsor for next season.

I sent Bob a "note" voicing my displeasure with his article. I suggested he review the scanner of the #7 and the #10 cars, and gave him my view of his journalistic credibility, for writing before checking for facts. You can too! Just click on that link above and have at it.Gas on Robby!

call it what you want, but Robby flat out dumped the #10 and it was classic Robby Gordon and it was a welcome sight.

Well I feel bad for Patrick. But Robby punting the #10 car wasn't about Patrick.. it was about Robby, and GEM trying to Fuck with RGM!

Sounds like this reporter had an axe to grind with Robby. Most reporters wouldn't worry about an incident between two guys who were out of the top 35 when the day started.

I would have loved to hear that exchange on the scanner... did RG say he was gonna take him out after that or what? Should have found Sadler too and put him in the wall... got to love an aggressive RG!!!

I think that was the time he was trying to get around him, since the 10 was a lap down, and they said they wouldn't let him go when he had the spotter talk to his spotter, so....he got what he deserved. Robby commented on why the 10 would do that. And who knows if Patrick even knew there was an exchange between the spotters?

No, he just did it, lol
