This is a late story. In Daytona, I was given the microphone to ask Kasey Kahne a question, at the Chevy Stage. I asked him about his goals for the season. After my "public" question, he came around to sign autographs, so I asked him aloud - "Kasey, are you upset that you will not see Robby Gordon in the 2013 season." He looked up and cocked his his head, blinked twice, and with a slightly shocked but serious look said "Yeah....yes I will miss him....he was a great guy, I really like him." Then he cut over to me to sign my #7 (Danica) hat.
His face was priceless...he really didn't know Robby was/will be missing, and I have to say he was a little upset about it.
