I was wondering what the name of the drifting show was- Thanks anyway for checking- I will keep my eye out for reruns of both shows.

For those of you (like me) that missed the Nascar Now segment, go to Espn.com and search their video section for "RObby Gordon" I just did and whether or not it was the segment I missed, it was a pretty cool feature on RG called "Robby Gordon- Race Car Driver" or something like that.

Now if I could only find some of the drifting footage...

Was it at Irwindale? They did a big drifting competition back Aug/Sept on the week of the race in Fontucky. Rg was wearing a brand new Sony driving suit with a NC patch on it, it started alot of speculation about sponsorship for Rg this year. Robby was driving Rhys Millen's red bull car, which Rg wadded up......:D
