Dover

[bajafox]

On to Dover, will RG keep going on the decline at the monster mile or will he finally have a decent showing?

It's getting harder and harder to pick in my fantasy league too, too bad I can't pick Kyle every week.

[kaw500]

Ok I'm still on the band wagon, the one man owner/operator is the true underdog and what the heck even if it's useless I'll still root for the #7.

Is Kyle really this good??

[JRod]

RG will turn it around this weekend- Top 15 finish on the way.... (God, are you listening?.... LOL!)

[Mike @ pit b]

Ok Robby really needs to be sponsored by Monster energy for the "Monster Mile". How great would that be!!!

I will always be on the bandwagon, but facts are facts, he will not be a contender as a single car effort. Alliance or no alliance

[b-makk]

Rowdy Busch is really this good!! He'll have a cold spell soon enough. They all do.

RG not testing at Pocono?? Not on the list

Baja 500

[KB]

how has rg done in the past at dover? seems like his type of track other than the road courses

[RGFan]

23.7 average finish at Dover

[Tristar Racing]

Matt Crafton will practice and maybe qualify the car.

[brown_e]

Although most of us are wishing for success at Dover. I don't see it happening. He will be in Baja and back to Dover. I don't think with someone setting up his car, besides PJ that it is what he will like.
I just think Robby's Nascrap operation is headed in the wrong direction at this time.

I really hope that he has much success at Dover, but it's hard to see that happening.

Well put;)

[Tristar Racing]

Two wins this year, one road course and one oval. I am sticking to that. Anyone want to wager candy bars? :)

The problem is so many people told RG he couldnt do the owner driver thing successfully, hes going to prove them wrong or die trying. His best opportunity was two years ago when Red Bull Racing wanted to buy into half his team and have him as the owner/driver. I think he would be further along at this point, although he might not have Jim Beam behind him as much as they are now. Obviously the Monster deal for the Hummer would have never happened though, and I doubt Red Bull would have wanted to sponsor the Hummer and the VWs...

Just my opinion

Hope your right, but I think you have been hitting the pipe:D

[b-makk]

Why can't the 7 team test at Pocono? There must be a driver out there whose input is worth something. You'd think the new CC would want to try some setups.

Hopefully GEM shares some info with RGM or they will be terrible at Pocono. Benched for a race last year and not participating in the test this year....WTF????

[Tristar Racing]

Hope your right, but I think you have been hitting the pipe:D

I was a Chad Little / John Deere fan for many years, actually even before John Deere came on board to Mark Rypien Motorsports, trust me I know how to be positive when the situation is bleak, haha.

I have always been an RG fan since back in the CART days, but it seems when Little bowed out of Nascar and I put my full fan effort behind RG, I brought my bad fan luck with me. Sorry guys, Robbys winless years are all my fault! :)

Come to think of it Chad won a lot of races in Busch (Bayer car) before I got fully on board, maybe I am cursed...

Honestly though, that John Deere car was great, very easy to spot on the track. Too bad it was always at the back of the pack!

[Ryan_P]

Matt Crafton will practice and maybe qualify the car.

Where did he pull Crafton from? I would've never guessed that one...

[RGFan]

Where did he pull Crafton from? I would've never guessed that one...

He is in the Menards driving stable

Dover Preview

Robby Gordon once again prepares for double duty action – he will race more than 850 miles this weekend while running both the Baja 500 and the Best Buy 400. Widely regarded as one of the best off-road racers of all time, Gordon’s weekend will begin in Ensenada, Mexico for the 40th annual Tecate SCORE Baja 500 on Saturday while NCTS regular Matt Crafton practices and qualifies the No. 7 Jim Beam Dodge in Dover. Immediately following the conclusion of the Baja 500, Gordon will make his way cross country to Dover to start the Best Buy 400 on Sunday.

Thursday will mark a day in history, when Gordon is honored at the 5th annual Monster Energy Baja Legacy party and inducted into the Carreras Cantina Hall of Fame.

Gordon has 13 starts at the Monster Mile with three top-ten finishes.

TV and Radio Times – Qualifying is set for Friday, May 30th at 3:10 p.m. (ET) on SPEED TV, MRN, and Sirius. Race time on Sunday is 2:00 p.m. (ET) and will be broadcast on Fox, MRN, and Sirius.

Dover– “This is going to be an exciting weekend of racing for me, driving almost 1000 miles and flying across the country. After his recent win in Charlotte, I have all the confidence in the world that Matt (Crafton) will get the Jim Beam Dodge dialed in for Sunday’s race. I finished in the top-ten at Dover last year after completing the Baja 500, and I think our Jim Beam Dodge will perform well on the fast, one-mile concrete track again this year. At some point, our bad luck has to go away so that all of this team’s hard work can be paid off,” Gordon commented.

Baja 500 - “This year we are going to the Baja 500 on a mission to not only win the race, but to gain more experience in the Monster Energy / Toyo Tires Hummer for the 2009 Dakar Rally, which is only seven months away. It will be interesting to see how the Hummer’s unrestricted 700 hp engine performs in its Baja 500 debut. This should be a fun race and a beneficial practice run for the 2009 Dakar Rally,” stated Gordon.

23.7 average finish at Dover

I guess thats better than last:cool: was this the regular track he has one of his wins at? I know he got 1 on non road course track just cant remember which one.

[RGFan]

Loudon was his one oval win, that was in 2001. He won a Busch race at Richmond in 2004

[michael_loomis]

3 top tens in 13 attempts? that not too bad..

fingers crossed for a baja overall and a dover top 15!

[Chris Tobin]

I guess thats better than last:cool: was this the regular track he has one of his wins at? I know he got 1 on non road course track just cant remember which one.

I think it was New Hampshire... If I remember correctly it was a makup race at the end of the season in November on or around thanksgiving weekend. He Jeff Gordoned Jeff Gordon for the win!!!:D

[Tristar Racing]

I think it was New Hampshire... If I remember correctly it was a makup race at the end of the season in November on or around thanksgiving weekend. He Jeff Gordoned Jeff Gordon for the win!!!:D

Yea, aka Loudon. What cracks me up about that win is Robby wearing Mike Skinners driving suit in victory lane, haha.

Of course I cant find the photo now...

I did find these two photos though, the first is at Daytona 500 practice from Tony Stewarts rookie year when Stewart ran RG into the grass during said practice.

The other is from the Glen when Robby was using Goodyears rain tires. Kind of neat...

[randy s]

i remember rg chicken-necking tony after stewart shoved him when rg was walking away. i think rg should have just dropped him. looked to me like one of them was scared to fight and the other one was glad he was. lol.

[NIKAL]

HAAS Penalties announced and they make RGM's look light! 150 points, 6 weeks suspension for the CC and Car Chief, each CC gets a $100,000 fine and NASCAR keeps both the #66 and #70 cars! Oh yeah and the owner is still in prison, its not good to be at HAAS right now.

NASCAR has issued penalties, fines and suspensions to the #66 and #70 teams in the Sprint Cup Series. The #66 car driven by Scott Riggs and the #70 car driven by Johnny Sauter were found to be in violation of Sections 12-4-A (actions detrimental to stock car racing) and 20-3.1.3A (wing mounting locations were not as specified by the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Rule book). The infractions were discovered May 24 at Lowe’s Motor Speedway. As a result, Riggs and #66 car owner Joe Custer have been penalized 150 championship driver and 150 championship owner points, respectively, as have Sauter and #70 car owner Margaret Haas. Both the crew chiefs and the car chiefs for the two cars – Bootie Barker and Derick Jennings for the #66 and Dave Skog and Thomas Harris for the #70 – have been suspended from the next six NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events, suspended from NASCAR until July 9 and placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31. Additionally, Barker and Skog have each been fined $100,000 apiece. The penalty also includes NASCAR’s confiscation of team 66 Serial Number HMS 12 06 415 race car and team 70 Serial Number HMS 04 08 507 race car.(NASCAR PR)(5-28-2008)

[b-makk]

Price tag just got a lot cheaper for Tony Stewart.

Nascar kept both the cars just because the wing mounts were wrong???!!! Could you imagine if our car inspections were like that ....I'm sorry sir, your brakes are worn so we're confiscating your car and not renumerating you...

[b-makk]

Why do teams keep giving Mayfield another shot?? He's driving the 40 this weekend. He has proven time and time again that he is completely washed up. (now watch him score a top 10 this weekend and make me look like an idiot)

[spalind]

Don't forget...Joey Logano turned 18 this week and makes his Nationwide debut this weekend as well...

Oh...and WOOOOHOOOO!! With the 150 point penalty to Riggs it moves RG back into the top 30 at number 29!! Yippee!!!

[RGFan]

Man, the drama level is up over at " Robby's Uplifting".......oops, meant "Uprising".......Freudian slip:D

[Tristar Racing]

Man, the drama level is up over at " Robby's Uplifting".......oops, meant "Uprising".......Freudian slip:D

You mean Robot Uprising? I have not been over there in months. The only time I found that site to be useful was for pictures of new cars at the shop.

Speaking of which, does anyone have info or pics of the car RG will be running at Prelude to a Dream next week? Just curious.

[KB]

Robbie not doing so well in practice once again. Maybe thinking more about baja?

[Tristar Racing]

Robbie not doing so well in practice once again. Maybe thinking more about baja?

Matt Crafton is practicing the car, and he is being cautious. They are working on race setups.

[fishd00d]

Qualifying isnt going well for the #7....20th out of 21 so far....

[Tristar Racing]

Qualifying isnt going well for the #7....20th out of 21 so far....

No one expected it to, as long as the #7 wasnt one of the two slowest cars he wont have to have to share a put stall with another team.

[fishd00d]

Well hes 41st out of 45 lol. So does that make him the 3rd slowest?

[woundedyak]

I guess he will be sharing with the 45!

[Tristar Racing]

Well hes 41st out of 45 lol. So does that make him the 3rd slowest?

Yea, hopefully RG can get more out of the car. Still trying to figure out who has to share pit stalls

[RacingOne]

The 42nd and 43rd cars in the race share the pit stall, Robby was lucky on this one.

[bajafox]

Just barely made it

41 7 Matt Crafton Dodge Jim Beam 149.099 24.145 -0.952
42 41 Reed Sorenson+ Dodge Target 148.705 24.209 -1.016
43 34 Tony Raines Chevrolet doorstopnation.com / Continental Fire & Safety 150.232 23.963 -0.770

[kaw500]

The 42nd and 43rd cars in the race share the pit stall, Robby was lucky on this one.

Luck for the #7 team is a single pit stall, I guess you take what you can get.:D

[Mike @ pit b]

So is Tony Stewart leaving Joe Gibbs Racig???

Mike

[Racer21(Roberto)]

So is Tony Stewart leaving Joe Gibbs Racig???

Mike

ooooo. one of my favorite drivers, but i hope he is. i've had it with toyota.

the toyotas keep breaking.

[b-makk]

I think Tony is ready for a change but he's not going to compete for championships running for himself or Haas. Gibbs is one of the best teams out there and he's dumb to leave. At least he already has 2 rings.

[Tristar Racing]

Crafton was 29th fastest in practice today, with a decent average speed. Too bad the morons over at Robot Uprising still wont be happy. Someone should clue the bandwagon fans in a single car team thats owned by the driver is not going to compete for wins every week. Now if RGM does bad at the road courses, now thats the time to be angry...

[22REKid]

i've had it with toyota.

the toyotas keep breaking.

Care to elaborate on that statement? Toyota is dominating both the Nationwide and Sprint Cup. Drivers are complaining because the Toyota engines have so much more power than the others. Are you reffering to the all star race?

[RGFan]

If you are refering to Tony Stewart last week, he blew a tire, he had not changed tires in about 100 laps, which is about 40 laps to many.

[Tristar Racing]

I have a feeling about today...

Good or bad, something interesting is going to happen...

[Bricoop]

I have a feeling about today...

Good or bad, something interesting is going to happen...

there's the first one. Just in time too.

[Combo]

That's going to kill some fantasy teams!!

[RGFan]

Yep, some big names severely damaged, TS has a RF broken spindle along with an S-load of body damage....Good timing, RG was ready to go a lap down, Biffle was hauling the mail....Sadler was the human pinball

[Tristar Racing]

Denny Hamlin lost alot of my respect for blaming the cars for not stoppin well. BS, he had plenty of time to stop sooner than he did...

[RGFan]

Denny Hamlin lost alot of my respect for blaming the cars for not stoppin well. BS, he had plenty of time to stop sooner than he did...

Yeah, I just caught that, I thought they were running bigger brakes then the old cars.....He just screwed up.....Fricken Tony Stewart, blaming Sadler but then saying it was his fault...Sadler did come down on Gillliland, but Gilliland could have lifted a little.....Just a racing deal IMO

[Tristar Racing]

Yeah, I just caught that, I thought they were running bigger brakes then the old cars.....He just screwed up.....Fricken Tony Stewart, blaming Sadler but then saying it was his fault

Yea, but he has a point, I think Sadler is right up there with Mayfield for being over-rated. Then for Sadler to blame the 38 for making "three wide" when Sadler clearly came down on the 38, these guys need to do less finger pointing...

[RGFan]

Man, Some of these guys are going to get their cars repaired before going to far down.......Why cant RG have that luck when he has issues

[RGFan]

Wow, Biffle was 8 mph faster then RG

[JRod]

dude, how about richard childress beating sheetmetal!!!

[Tristar Racing]

Wow, Biffle was 8 mph faster then RG

I think Greg Erwin knows how to set up a car for dover. RGM fired Greg right before Dover last year, but I imagine he had the setup on the car in the shop before he left. I cant imagine that boob Gene Nead had a lot to do with that Dover top 10, although he was funny to listen to on the radio...

[Combo]

Kyle is going to win. Look who he is sponsered by!!

[woundedyak]

Well,with alot of good cars out of the race. This should be a good chance for RG to steel a win!

[RGFan]

Well,with alot of good cars out of the race. This should be a good chance for RG to steel a win!

Not today, his car is to bad and Biffle is the class of the field with or without the crahed out cars...Although, RG is starting to pick it up....Or the others are falling off...RG second fastest lap last lap

[woundedyak]

RGFan,do you have him on the scanner?

[JRod]

rg listed among the biggest movers... +17spots... not bad even he passed 9 of those cars by avoiding that pileup...

[RGFan]

RGFan,do you have him on the scanner?

Yeah, the car is still loose, but improved. Biffle is just to fast, caution is just in time.

[RGFan]

Lost two spots in the pits....Hopefully the adjustments fixed it.

[kaw500]

Not to shabby so far, the #7 CC might finally be a fit, spotter is on top of it. Middle off issue.

[kaw500]

Yeah, the car is still loose, but improved. Biffle is just to fast, caution is just in time.

Must be the CC on the #16, another RG castoff:rolleyes:

[RGFan]

There we go, Front Row Joe screwed up.....RG up to 22nd...Now if he can only keep it out of the wall

[JRod]

POS took out front row joe....jeez.... amd that raines/hamlin move of stopping on the track was bush league...

[Tristar Racing]

Im a huge fan of Walter as the crew chief. He is technical, but rather than asking Robby, he tells Robby what the adjustments will be. A few more weeks to gel, and this team will be ready for Sonoma...

[kaw500]

Just bought a new grill for the Sonoma Bar B Que's, Everyone invited Fri, Sat and after the race.

[RGFan]

Damn it!!! RR Flat....Staying out but the car has gone to shiot

[kaw500]

Droping like a rock just cannot catch a break

[RGFan]

Going to go 1 lap down....Official

[JRod]

Did Joe move up or did Mikee come down?

Mikey came down on Joe.... Dammit- Lap down.. need a caution...

[JRod]

pretty frustrating to be slower than the 15 which was trashed in that wreck....

[RGFan]

Going to the garage

[RacingOne]

Going to the garage

Your Garage or is Robby going to the Garage?

[JRod]

must be rgfan going to the garage... can you blame him?

[Tristar Racing]

This isnt over yet guys. Still only one lap down. Come on, dont turn this into the Robot Uprising, stay positive.

[woundedyak]

Even a few laps down,he can still get a good run!

[kaw500]

I'm still thinking he has something for a top 20, heck top 25 from where the #7 started would be OK.

[RGFan]

This isnt over yet guys. Still only one lap down. Come on, dont turn this into the Robot Uprising, stay positive.

Do not compare me to the Uprising, I think I have atleast proven that I am not one of them. Just sick of watching RG be a lap down.....With that said, it is already 100 outside, to damned hot to be in the garage....I guess I am stuck with you monkeys:D

[Big Hock]

Talk about loose! Did you see Robby sliding all over the place from Bowyer's in car cam?

[Tristar Racing]

Looks like the car got worse, quite a handful driving something that lose at Dover...

Yea, I know, just trying to keep things upbeat.

[RGFan]

Can somebody tell Jr that he is 9 laps down and to stop racing our driver. man the car is worse then before...The garage is looking better and better

[kaw500]

"my car is @#$%*() horrible on enrtry"

LOOSES LOOSE LOOSE

[JRod]

Can somebody tell Jr that he is 9 laps down and to stop racing our driver

SERIOUSLY! JUST SLID HIM OUT OF THE WAY!

[woundedyak]

Mayfield just needs to hang it up! The guy just cost the #10 a good run

[woundedyak]

Can somebody tell Jr that he is 9 laps down and to stop racing our driver. man the car is worse then before...The garage is looking better and better

The bad thing about that is Jr has a tore up car and still pulled RG off the corner:(

Yeah, it's only almost half-way through! Come on guys! Cross your fingers and sit on your hands, Robby can win this thing if we just believe! LOL! :p

Seriously though, Mayfield sucks- why does he keep getting seat time- about wrecked Carpentier...

Just hanging on drinking Tecate hoping to come out with a solid top 20 today... stuck with you monkeys is better than doing yardwork anyway- LOL!

[RGFan]

The bad thing about that is Jr has a tore up car and still pulled RG off the corner:(

Because he got RG loose....I wish that somebody would make this race interesting and turn right into Kyle Bush this weekend....Hell, every weekend. They could build an excel spread sheet and designate one person per week to turn right into the guy and wreck him....Now that would be some good racing

[woundedyak]

Poor Biffle. He caught a case of RG luck this season

[JRod]

[JRod]

If FoxTrax 'effed up? it shows everyone on the lead lap, or 2 laps down... no in between..

[RGFan]

RG just went two laps down

[Tristar Racing]

Two laps down now, if the car holds together Id say the highest he will get is around 20th or so. So much for me thinking something crazy would happen...

[Combo]

At least he is beating his avg finish.

[JRod]

green flag pitstops start cycling?.... is it worth waiting as long as you can hoping for a caution to gain a lap?....

[RGFan]

When he waits, nothing happens.......When he does not.........bam, a caution......Speaking of that...... a caution

[Tristar Racing]

Why does RG keep saying he gave Jeremy exactly what won Dover last year? Jeremy who? Hes not talking abot Mayfield. Any ideas what he is referring to?

[JRod]

I am wondering if he is talking about jeremy losaw and the setup from last year.... you know the fast setup from 7 Crew Chiefs ago... loL!

[kaw500]

Two laps down now, if the car holds together Id say the highest he will get is around 20th or so. So much for me thinking something crazy would happen...

Some 20 spots better than he started could be a lot worse. Loooooooooong way to go.

WSB on speed, INDY car on ABC, no wonder I get little done on Sunday afternoons.

Don't forget drag racing on ESPN2!

[Combo]

Up to 21. Hoping for a top 20.

[kaw500]

And with 100 to go the #7 hangs on in 22nd and Kyle Busch looks ready to win again. Joe Gibbs got a bargin.

I did manage to drain, clean and refill the jacuzzi.

Oh, Graham Rahal just put it in the wall in Milwaukee

Oh, Graham Rahal just put it in the wall in Milwaukee

How's Danica doing?

you can pretty much count on some carnage in the closing laps, hopefully some more gained spots for rg......ugh another COT race with a whopping 12 cars on the lead lap... woohoo...

[Combo]

Ashley got beat by her dad in the first round.

[Combo]

RG up to 19th.

RG up to 19th.

I have him in 21st....Danica is 9th, Marco is in 10th...Dixon leading

top 10 for now

Shiot, she might have a top 5 before it is all done...Lots of lapped traffic

[kaw500]

Make that a whole 7 cars now:mad:

[RGFan]

RG just took 20th

[Combo]

I have him in 21st....Danica is 9th, Marco is in 10th...Dixon leading

Sorry put stops were not done. So do you think Dixon will take that ride that Stewart offered in the Prelude for being the Indy winner?

[RGFan]

Sorry put stops were not done. So do you think Dixon will take that ride that Stewart offered in the Prelude for being the Indy winner?

I hope so, it sure would add some more credibility to the race....Briscoe just took the lead in the Irl race with 48 laps to go...I hope Danica catches up and punts him like he did to her at the 500.........RG losing to much speed in the corners

[Tristar Racing]

Make that a whole 7 cars now:mad:

Typical Dover, its not because of the COT...

[JRod]

would love to see a caution, that doesnt involve the 7, that would give biffle a chance to pass busch for the the win...

[JRod]

speaking ofindividual honors fox, how about some props for rg saving it just now.... he was wrecking loose!

[RGFan]

No stopping for fuel.........Cars in front of him are slowing down........Who would have ever figured that he could be 3 laps down and still potentially get a top 17...He is reeling 19th, 18th and 17th in

[RacingOne]

P 19th Lap 379 -3 laps down Top Twenty Baby with no practice in the car!!!!

Gas On Robby!!!!

[RGFan]

Oh shiot, his motor is going south, gauges are ok, engine is smoking

[RGFan]

19th, not to shabby, engine survived

[fishd00d]

Pretty good week for me. Got 2,3,6,11 I was going to switch to KB also but thought someone might just take him out this week lol.

IRL Briscoe wins, and jumping IRL cars.

Hahhchum. Sorry just had to clear my throat.

I should of started him in fantasy. I just figure the time I start him he finishes last!lol!

Kyle train just rolls on, Penske strong win for Ryan and RGM holds his postion in the points.
Not to shabby up 22 spots from where RG started.

Dover, DE (June 1, 2008) – After Robby Gordon’s hopes of winning the Baja 500 ended early due to a hub failure at mile 115, he was anxious to make his way to Dover for Sunday’s Best Buy 400, which would be the first time that Gordon got behind the wheel of his No. 7 Jim Beam Dodge. Fellow Menards driver and recent NCTS winner, Matt Crafton, practiced and qualified the No. 7 in Gordon’s absence, which resulted in the No. 7 starting in 43rd position due to the NASCAR rules regarding a driver change. Regardless of starting position, Gordon was one of the biggest movers of the race, gaining 24 spots to finish 19th.

When the green flag fell at the Monster Mile, Gordon immediately commented that the car was very loose. To the team’s advantage, the first of five caution flags of the day flew due to a huge pile up on lap 17. Gordon was able to avoid the carnage, which resulted in a red flag to clean up the track. This gave ample time to discuss the loose handling with crew chief, Walter Giles. A decision was made to make major adjustments on the first pit stop of the day; the team opened the left front shock as well as made a track bar and tire pressure adjustments.

As the race progressed, the No. 7 Jim Beam Dodge continued to gain speed and track position to improve the car’s handling on every pit stop. By lap 75, the team was just outside the top-20 and maintained this position for most of the race. Despite the loose handling car, Gordon maintained top-five speeds on the track, but he lost the fight to gain his laps back as did the majority of the field. Only six cars finished on the lead lap. In the end, Gordon crossed the finish line in 19th position.

“I am satisfied with our finish today after our finishes in the last two points races,” Gordon stated immediately following the race. “We really struggled with loose race car in the beginning of the race, which would have resulted in better track position. Track position is so important and that was something that we lacked today, but I guess most of the other cars did too. Knowing that we can tune our equipment and run with the leaders (for the last 150 laps) gives me confidence for the upcoming races.”

This will be another busy week for Gordon as he heads to Eldora Speedway in Rossburg, Ohio on Wednesday for the sold out Prelude to the Dream dirt late model race and then on to Pocono Raceway, one of the circuits most unique tracks.
