Phoenix Robby Gordon Post Race Quotes

ROBBY GORDON (No. 7 SPEED Energy/MAPEI Dodge Charger R/T)

“We struggled to pass. I think everybody struggles to pass and I drove down onto the apron, a lot like (Elliott) Sadler did yesterday, and soon as I got back up to the main groove, it got loose on me. It’s a bummer. It was a brand new Dodge Charger and now it’s probably going to need a front and rear clip on it. That was a good race car. Guys did a good job all weekend long and unfortunately we find ourselves with another wrecked race car, which it doesn’t really matter. If you can’t stay on the lead lap, it doesn’t make any sense to race. That’s just my opinion.”

DID YOU LEARN ANYTHING TODAY THAT WILL HELP YOU MOVING FORWARD INTO NEXT SEASON?

“I learned you need to bring the best race cars that you’ve got every single weekend and it just takes money and right now, we don’t have enough of that.”

The truth is the truth. Saying anything different doesn't make it real.

Half the garage is in the same boat. Admire RG for admitting it

From Robby's comments it sounds like we will not be seeing much of the #7 on the track next year with RG or anyone else behind the wheel. If RGM cant find the money to compete competitively then there is no reason to show up to the track. RGM's Cup program could look like the Wood's Bros with maybe 10 or so races for 2012.

So it seems. I will be disappointed, but I will get lots more done on Sundays.

If Robby has the success of the Wood Brothers in those 10 races I say that would be a great thing. That being said I hope for the employees at the shop that a full season can be ran.
