Robby Gordon (No. 7 Jim Beam Operation Homefront Dodge Charger)

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE LAST TWO RACES? "I had a really good car at Texas and we lost it in practice -- we popped a right-front tire and our backup car wasn't as good. We gave up 45 points last weekend -- we had 105 (point lead on top-35 cars). This weekend we qualified 27th with another new racecar. We have two more new racecars coming to Homestead, so we're not giving up the fight by any means. I've got Jim Beam on the car for the next two races -- (Jim Beam) Operation Homefront on the hood this weekend and the car is pretty good. We stayed on one set of tires (in the first practice Saturday) the whole time working on long runs. Obviously the most important thing is to finish and if you finish, you're going to score enough points (to remain inside the top-35)."



DO YOU KEEP YOUR EYE PEELED ON SCOTT SPEED AND MARCOS AMBROSE OR DO YOU JUST CONCENTRATE ON YOUR STUFF? "I think you watch them (Speed and Ambrose). You have to race the cars that you're around at the same time. You have to be realistic about it. I think that we have a top-20 car. We were ahead of both of them in practice, so I feel pretty good about where we're at."
