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????

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.
