Switching Alliances from CBS Sports

CHANGING ALLIANCES...AGAIN

Robby Gordon has never been one to shy away from switching manufacturers. His last minute swap from Ford to Dodge at the beginning of this season resulted in a fine and penalty at Daytona when the "wrong" nosepiece was bolted on to his Charger. Now that Gordon's technical alliance with GEM has fizzled, look for the independent driver/team to move to the Toyota camp. Whether Gordon becomes associated with another Toyota operation with Bill Davis Racing a possibility, the fiery driver will be behind-the-wheel of a Camry in 2009 and reports nearly full sponsorship plans for the No. 7.

I can't say I am surprised. I just hope this one works out better for him than his previous 'alliances'.

This could turn out ok. The way things are going in Detroit, Toyota might be the only manufacturer running next season.

Toyota has plenty of their own problems, don't kid yourself. It's just that they're a Japanese corporation, and aren't required to be as transparent as American ones. I mean, they're offering 0% financing on almost all of their entire model line-up, they're obviously hurting BAD
