Robbie Gordon: Speed Energy Drink

[Ron Hill]

I see that Robbie is going to race at Infineon next week. I give Robbie a lot of credit. From what I've heard, he has more sponsors for his Offroad Racing efforts than he can use, but his Offroad sponsors want no part of NASCAR. But Robbie still wants to race NASCAR.

Walmart in Mexico has bought more than 2 million dollars worth of Speed Energy drink. Rumor on th street is that the drink is selling.

Carry on Robbie, you have one BIG fan here. Here is to INDY 2013! Look for Robbie to race the 500 next year.

STADIUM SUPER TRUCKS on NBC & NBC Sports Network in 2013 New York (September 18, 2012)–Robby Gordon’s Stadium SUPER Trucks and NBC Sports Group have reached an agreement to televise the 2013 Inaugural Stadium SUPER Trucks Season on NBC and NBC Sports Network. Starting in April of 2013, NBC and NBC Sports Network will televise 12 races (11 domestic and one international).Capitalizing on what was once known as Mickey Thompson’s Off-Road Racing, Robby Gordon’s Stadium SUPER Trucks will feature high-flying off-road action motorsports fans have been asking for. The entire championship season will be broadcasted on NBC and NBC Sports Network, with the series awarding $500,000 to the Champion driver of Stadium SUPER Trucks.“It has always been my dream to bring back stadium racing to the masses. I started my career winning a championship in Mickey’s series and now I want to revive his vision and bring back what the motorsports world needs. NBC Sports understands what kind of excitement and value our show will exhibit. This will be extreme wheel-to-wheel, door-to-door, roof-to-dirt racing action for all ages,” said Robby Gordon, President of Stadium SUPER Trucks. You have to give Robby credit, he always "Hustles".

Robbie was the only other team in Nascar other than Penske running Dodges. Penske has been at the top with Mopar but has decided to go with Ford in 2013. Chrysler would like to find a quality team to take over their effort in Nascar but no one has taken them up on their offer. This would be a the opportunity for Robbie to compete in Nascar with the support that he currently can't fund by himself. Chrysler has all the body panels and support for engines. I understand that the team would have to have their own engine shop and this is why they haven't been able to find anyone. Most Nascar teams buy or lease their engines from a producer such as Hendrick. Penske built the fast Mopar engines but they will now be switching to Fords. Good luck, the Mopars have been faster than anything else on the track, look at the high speed tracks and the Dodges are always at the front. Anyway this could be Robbie's chance to be a big time team in Nascar, however time is running out for 2013, maybe he could do it for 2014.

I for one have been a Nascar fan but with no Dodges, I won't be tuning in anymore.

Jones would have a mechanical problem on Lap-2 loosing position after position eventually dropping out on Lap-5.
