do you recall the group of your fans that are on the back stretch at the glen.
the ones that have the driver cutouts? we have our "special wave" with you. i
have emailed a few times to your "people" to see if i could set up a greet and
meet but they never replied. you know we have become your biggest fans and would
kill to meet you if only for a few minutes. the guys camping next to us were
supposed to have a meet with you last year but something happened where you
couldn't make it. the guy won a trip to a race to see you as well as meet and
greet. we were all so jacked to think we may be able to meet you but no luck. if
you would consider meeting us we would owe u a big 1! |
| Robby_Gordon |
| |
I will see you this weekend. I will find the time to swing by because I know
where you are at. I really appreciate being #1 |

Hey, Robby..interesting week to say the least...lol I back you 100% in
everything you did. Does Nascar realize yet they just made it open season under
a yellow with their ruling? |
| Robby_Gordon |
| |
Thanks for your support. Obviously I did something wrong and yes I feel they
understand open season. I discussed with them. |

HOW DO LIKE THE COT. |
| Robby_Gordon |
| |
I like the COT. I think it's going to be very good. It has definitely leveled
the playing field a bit. It's made the competitiion closer. |

Hey Robby, do you have any plans for a full time Busch series team or a second
Cup team? |
| Robby_Gordon |
| |
Hi. Nothing we are looking ot announce at this point in time. We are working
very hard every week to try and gather information for a second team or a full
time Busch car. |

Class act putting Ambrose in that ride. Any chance of stealing him away from the
Wood Bros. for next year? |
| Robby_Gordon |
| |
Obviously that was not my attention when we gave Marcos the opportunity. We have
given him the opportunity to perform. The intention is not to steal him away.
It's a compliment and apology at the same time to put him in a car. |

Hey, Robby. How is the constructions on the expansion to the shop going? Almost
done? |

No I wouldn't say almost done. It's going. We will have a floor on Monday and
then the walls will go up from there. We will be done my Oct 1. |

Robby, I'm so glad you're running a second car this weekend. Could this be a
prelude of things to come for Team Robby Gordon? |
| Robby_Gordon |
| |
We'd like to run a second car more often because it will give us an opportunity
to learn information and be more competitive with the bigger teams. |

Hopefully that will show again this weekend in the Busch car and both Cup cars. |

We had a very good weekend with some trouble the last two laps. As a race team
we were ready to win but we came up short. However, we did finish 74 laps first.

If there is one thing that you can change on the Car of Tomorrow, what whould it
be? |
| Robby_Gordon |
| |
There's not a lot of things I would chance since I don't have a lot of info. I
don't mind the rules. The COT seems to be pretty good. Haven't raced it on big
race tracks yet. |

Did you already have a car sitting in the shop for Ambrose or is it something
that is being done this week. |
| Robby_Gordon |
| |
Both cars are in the hauler going to Watkins Glen. They are already on their way
with a backup car too. The guys did a great job preparing 3 Cup cars and 2 Busch
cars. |

What one race team would you like to drive for or go back to? |

I have been very fortunate to drive for some great teams in racing, not just
NASCAR. I learned a lot from Derrik Walker, Richard Childress and Cal Wells. |

Robby, good to see you running a second car this weekend. Is this a prelude of

We'll take it one race at a time and see how it goes. |

Question to my favorite driver... You and your team obviously have a great
set-up for road race cars. plus of course your very talented at them.. But with
having the Wood brothers crewing your car for Ambrose... aren't you worried they
might find out some of your trade secrets for road course set ups? |
| Robby_Gordon |
| |
We've had these discussions with both Marcos and Wood Brothers and obviously as
competitive as NASCAR racing is today we are going to provide Marcos with the
same equipment that we have. I NEXTEL Cup today, a lot is code anyways. |

Robby, the weather looks good for the race weekend. I was going to ask you how
it was driving on the rain tires back quite a few years ago. |
| Robby_Gordon |

We haven' t been on rain tires since 2000 but if it ends up being a wet weekend
I look forward to racing in the rain. |

Hello from Orange County...is your COT road course car very different from your
road course cars of the past? |
| Robby_Gordon |
| |
It's different because it's the COT and it has some new elements compared to
some of the cars in the past. Drives very similar. |
