Robby Gordon Post Race Quotes: Charlotte II

ROBBY GORDON (No. 7 Menards Dodge Charger) Finished 30th
“I look up at the result board and look at ourselves 30th and want to cry to be honest with you. We were better than the 2 and 9. Where did they finish. I never raced the car all night long. Our game plan, sitting here 35th in points, is to be around for the end. We have been around, but we had a very good opportunity to make up points on a bunch of cars tonight. It’s unfortunately. The positive is that our cars are fast. The Penske engine ran well. We know what is happening and how we miss results. We’re fast enough for sure. Now, we have to stop making mistakes.”

The TT car lived up to its hype... too bad we didn't get the finish we should have up in the top 10. Any weight to the idea that Rusty W will be teaming up or sharing space with RGM next year due to the Penske connection... They both like to cc from the drivers seat and this could get his son Steven W into a cup ride pretty quickly and cost effectively.

Are you trying to float a trial baloon?

Let's all hope this is a lead baloon.

Rusty, dosen't have, nor could he raise enough $$ to bring this car killing kid, to cup.

The captain knows talent when he sees it. He's not gonna want any part of this kid.

With Atlanta and Texas left, the TT-COT might sneak in a win...How awesome would that be?

A top 20 at Martinsville would be really really welcome. Not sure how the 77 and 00 will do there. I'm amazed the 00 has AJ to drive it next week instead of Kenny Wallace. But if AJ brings home another 43rd then I'll be happy !

RG is so happy he didn't kill the new TTCOT Sat. He says Atlanta will be good and a Win in Texas won't be out of reach.They have another TTCOT due out in the next two weeks.

I think we're all happy he didn't kill the TTCOT. Even with less "tweak" it was very good. Gas On!

I wanted to cry too, Robby! You were having a hell of a good race! Seems like you made a lot of advances this week.

Fly, you mentioned they have another TT car coming out. Would that be a total of two? I know its probably impossible, but for us on here, does anybody know some of the changes the TT boys made to the new car? WE are really excited to see it work so well last Sat. night.
Thanks
