2019 Robby Gordon Headquarters
Kevin Conway's Response
Kevin Conway released a statement Monday evening: "I don't mind stiff competition, but I want to make sure the hard facts are told.
Really, is this an appropriate time to be making sponsor plugs, I thought this was a serious situation that Kevin went to the police about?
First and foremost, I love being a part of NASCAR and have worked very hard to earn the privilege of competing in the Sprint Cup Series.
Worked, earned....debatable at best.
On Friday night, Robby Gordon, who has a long history of issues in NASCAR decided to ambush me in the garage area at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, completely unprovoked.
RG's past is just that, past issues. How exactly do you get ambushed in a Cup garage, its almost too fan friendly at time and most sources initially said nobody saw the situation.
Robby even confronted Joe Nemechek, my car owner, on pit road during Cup Series qualifying shoving him and telling him that he was looking for me and going to assault me.
So wait, he assaulted Joe , threatened to harm you and you still decided to go around him. Seems like if that was the case you would either avoid that person, or confront them. So why go over to the Cup garage unless it was for the confrontation?
We have many witnesses including a crew chief that signed a police report documenting the truth of his physical attack on me.
So wait, now other people saw this and its automatically the "truth" just because its signed on a police report. If its legally documented, why not name this person directly?
Situations like this are not good for our sport. It's one thing if we were racing each other and I wrecked him or he wrecked me, that's an entirely different situation. I
Sure, both RG and Joe need his stuff torn up and Nascar just thrives on intentional wrecking, clearly this would have been a better route.
It's very unfortunate that he chose to physically attack me to address his rage. Our fans, sponsors and NASCAR expect and deserve more from our competitors than this bullish, illegal behavior that was displayed by Robby against me."
Bullish and Illegal are both his opinion, but in his defense, Extenze has a pretty "firm grasp" on "hard facts" when it comes to things being illegal. The did have that 6 million dollar out of court settlement. Plus already have pending issues with RGM and Front Row.

Yes TOG let's get back to the real world. Not the world of lawsuits and lawyers. If RGM had the $$ used in defending it'self in court, we would get to run more races. Sorry Kevin you can't cut the mustard with the BIG boys so go back and play in your sandbox with your matchbox cars! GAS ON...

My comment on NASCAR's site -
NASCAR has a huge problem - where are the witnesses to this. Lets see some evidence to the aledged assault. You take the word of some little marketing puke (CONway) that has screwed 2 teams out of over 3 million dollars. While letting him continue to pull his scam on Front Row Joe, and you are going to place Robby on probation!. Why would Robby put his court case in jeopardy by assaulting this guy.
I would think that NASCAR would would be better off looking after their loyale team owners than protecting someone (CONway) who is really in breach of Section 12-1. Unless, of course, not paying the sponsership dollars owed to teams are actions condusive and/or to the benifit to stock car racing.
NASCAR give your head a shake.
