ROBBY GORDON, No. 7 Speed Factory Toyota Camry, Robby Gordon Motorsports
Finishing Position: 36th

What happened to your race car? "We overheated like everybody else because we got covered up by that grass in turn two. And when I exited pit road, I ran something over. Maybe a piece of tubing that they missed. I'm sure they cleaned the race track but maybe they missed the apron. I felt it and was like, 'Oh, man.' And halfway down the back straightaway the front tire just exploded. A bummer day for us because our car was really good. We moved up to like 15th or 16th."

The indecision on taking 2 or 4 the whole time, the confusion on pit road afterwards. For the first time ever, it felt like there were too many Indians and no chiefs.

Should have taken tires after sliding them on the stop: I understand why he didn't. But he did the same thing in Charlotte few years back. Slid the tires and only took two blew one of the others blew on the backstretch. ALWAY TAKE 4 TIRES EARLY IN A RACE IF YOU HAVE TO PIT. It a no brainer. That being said, the car looked great, hope he keeps the colors that way.

I agree on the taking tires. Worst case you are the lucky dog when the mandatory yellow comes out.On the flip side,its possible even if he takes tires, he still ran over something on the access road AFETR pitting that would have probably popped his tire, so coulda,woulda,shoulda. Thats racing, on to watkins glen ! I was glad to see the car actually sustain and drive good for him before the overheating issue
