Robby Gordon planning to start and park without more sponsorship: #7-Robby Gordon plans to start and park in all but three of the remaining Cup races unless he can get additional sponsorship, he said at Bristol Motor Speedway. Gordon said he planned to run the entire race at Chicago, Texas and Phoenix because he has enough sponsorship for those races. If he gets more sponsorship, he'll run more races. Gordon also continues to build the energy drink company he created to help fund his racing programs. So, wouldn't it be better if Gordon skipped some races and be better prepared for the ones he ran instead of starting and parking most of the time? "If you don't come to the race track, you don't learn,'' Gordon said. "If you don't come to the race track, I can't help it that we can't find a sponsor to pay for right now. I can't help that. I've tried. Trevor Bayne doesn't have any sponsors on his car and he won the Daytona 500. That's the reality of it. We've tried hard, and this is what I love to do, so I'm going to continue to fight the fight.(Virginian-Pilot)(8-28-20100)

Robby Gordon is short of money.
Godaddy.com has more money than sense.
SELL THE DAMN NUMBER, HOLY SHIT.

That's where it should be acceptable to throw a full can of beer. If it beans Snooki, you get the celebrity treatment at whatever race you go to from here on out.

That sounds like an excellent idea. While we're at it, put Brian France and Mike Helton in there too.

It wouldn't be the first time Robby's pigheadedness has screwed himself over, but this might be a time where he's forced to swallow his pride.

Guess that "be a bandwagoning dumbshit by switching manufacturers ever single year" strategy is finally biting Robby in the ass.

How about Robby keeps his number (7) if he goes to AA next year in the IRL, replacing Danicant? (I know this won't happen but it would be cool I guess...rather see him do that than just start and park)

Robby needs to suck it up and form an alliance.

Do not see the Dr. Pepper / Snapple group being thrilled with the idea of having some random beverage company sponsoring a car for a team that they sponsor. Though it would be cool if they could broker a deal where they get rid of that god awful Venom Energy and become partners in SPEED Energy.

Somehow I doubt that Snooki even knows what Nascar is. I guess she'll appear since she's getting paid to be there.

I like the new kink, gives the track a bit more character than it had before.

Who gives a shit about the lack of grass? Watch something played on a field if you want to see some grass.

It's a good thing that the banking angle only progresses by 1 degree in the turns. That should stop the high groove from having such an advantage like at Bristol or Homestead, and not create a perennial side by side limbo where no one can complete a pass. The track is still very much unique.

Have they kept the infield road course? It doesn't look like it.

It looks like it's still there, you can see it in the first picture. I'm curious to see how it looks with some better pictures.. like if people cant cut under the yellow line to try to pass or things like that.
