A Personal Note from Robby Gordon (Press Release)

While I am in Ensenada for today’s Baja 500, the No. 7 team was in Pocono preparing for this weekend’s Cup race. I want to personally thank Ted Musgrave for his help yesterday practicing and attempting to qualify our Cup car as well as our team members for their hard work. Despite missing the race, Ted and team made a valiant effort to get the No. 7 into the race.

I believe that all successful companies go through times like this – they have highs and lows. I remember Penske Racing missing the Indy 500 with three cars in 1995 and Paul Tracy just last month. We will recover from this just like Penske did, and we will be stronger because of it.

While I am disappointed that we will not participate in tomorrow’s race at Pocono Raceway, I want to thank our employees for their hard work and our sponsors for their continued support. What remains through all of this is Robby Gordon Motorsports’ commitment to the success of our diversified racing programs.

Nice press release, and good to diffuse all the negative, disappointed feelings that missing this race has brought. The sun will shine another day for RGM.

Through all of the grief this guy as endured in Nascar, he still keeps after it week after week, no matter what! Speaks volumes about his character, and person and and professional he really is. This is exactly why I am a Robby fan! Well done Rob!
