OK...I'll try to update this as the interview goes along....

Driver/Owner Robby Gordon...

Says he's having a good start, has a big weekend ahead...recaps performance at Daytona...
Rome asks him about the challenges about being one of the last Owner/Drivers left...Robby says the biggest challenge is getting the funding as he knows the driving and building part....
Rome asks him about JJ and cheating allegations....Robby replies that in order to be competitive you have to play with the gray area of NASCAR's rules....That you shouldn't blatantly cheat but should find areas within the rules where you can gain a 1/10th of a second....
Robby cracks on Tony Stewart for being one of the biggest bump drafters after complaining about it and that bump drafting only really takes place at 4 races per year...

Then a moron co-worker comes in my office and asks me to help him with something so I'm trying to listen to the interview and do stuff for him at the same time and I didn't hear things EXACTLY but believe the conversation went into how much Robby would participate in other racing during the NASCAR season and he said not a lot as he needs to concentrate on his NASCAR operation...then they talked about the recent race at Fontana and some of the empty seats there--unfortunately I did not hear the exact response Robby had on this but I believe he said something in general about NASCAR needing to be in SoCal in some way shape or form....
That was about it....a nice like 7 minute interview....Rome raps it up by saying what a pro Robby and many NASCAR guys are--gentlemen, on time, well marketed, well spoken...

Hope this was of some sort of interest to those of you out there...Next Robby sighting?!?! Tonight...on SpeedChannel...
