Robby Gordon

[Kahne_9_38_Truex_8_1]

Rumors out of Welcome, North Carolina that Robby Gordon is out of the #31 Cingular Chevorlet Monte Carlo for Richard Childress... Dave Blaney or Ricky Craven would be one the replacements if it happens...

[RobbyG Fan]

Dave Blaney or Ricky Craven taking over for Robby Gordon, what an upgrade that would be!

:wacko:

[WideOpenPhoto]

This came from the Winston Salem Journal... Mike (you know who).... Although I wouldn't be surprised

[Lap3Forever]

if it from that idiot, then i dont think so. :lol:

but looks like this is Robby's last year with RCR... <_< :unsure: :(

[dragonlady424]

Well, if it came from "you know who", then I would at first doubt it.
But............................after the Louden shenanigans, it just could be!!

[nascarwoman]

I always question the credibility and info from our friend "mike what's his name". I guess we'll just have to wait until some announcement is made by RCR.

[TonyB]

The Boston Herald (http://sports.bostonherald.com/autoRacing/view.bg?articleid=45139)

Ricky Craven will replace the embattled Robby Gordon behind the wheel of the No. 31 Richard Childress Racing machine at Dover (Del.) this Sunday, Bostonherald.com has learned. Gordon’s contract was to expire at the end of the season and RCR is not seeking to re-sign him. Craven, of Newburgh, Maine, could not be reached for comment. Childress is expected to fire Gordon later this week after a poor showing at NHIS.

[millermagic]

After what he did yesterday, he shouldn't be allowed to even finish the year off

Take a chill, lappy. Until RCR makes an official announcement, EVERYTHING is just heresay. ;)

[Gollum]

I don't think this is the first time that Robby has been given his walking papers by a team. He lasted longer with RCR longer than most folks thought. That is if this is true. :cheers:

[barelypure]

Hmmm, could a certain Tony and his sponsor, a large and powerful retailer of home products, have had anything to do with this? There is also a little whisper that someone named Ray wasn't real happy either but he doesn't command the stroke (read money in NASCAR's pockets) this Orange sponsor does. Was RC actually told yesterday to go wait and they would get with him later? Money goes a long way for most people.

[Kahne_9_38_Truex_8_1]

The Annoucment is comming this week in Dover or Welcome for the Fireing Robby Gordon.... Cingular Wireless is the biggest supporter for RCR, its all up to the Sponser and Owner of the car

[Lap3Forever]

<_<

[kat2220]

Windtunnel just said that Robby is FIRED

[Tommy29]

AH why? I am so sick of this rotating door at RCR. Actually it seems like no ones job is safe in nascar anymore. Robby is a fun driver to watch on the track because he drives with emotion. I love it when he goes all out even if hes a lap down, he still races his heart out. Well hopefully he'll go to gibbs and drive the Fed Ex car next year because he definetly deserves a good ride.

[Patrick9999]

I must admit that when R.Gordon first joined RCR, I didn't care for his style or attitude but I also must admit that the last year and a half I didn't find him all that bad.

That being said, I'd let him go. Not just because of the incident last weekend but taking into consideration his overall record. He really isn't all that competitive, save two tracks, and Childress must grow weary of defending time and time again.

Maybe if he had his own team, he'd be more careful with his gear.

Ironically enough, the person he got "involved" with at Louden is, ImHO, quickly gaining the same reputation that Gordon has had since he started cup racing.

They should listen to what Mayfield said and settle it off the track, in private.

Darn I wish they could have a Donald Trump moment where they show the owners getting in the drivers face and saying "You're Firedddddd". :D

Ok, sometimes I have a mean streak. I'm working on it. :unsure:

No, not really. But, it seemed like the right thing to say at the moment... :rolleyes:

Source?

[WideOpenPhoto]

Boston Herald - According to a NASCAR source, Gordon's employer, Richard Childress Racing, has taken immediate action, reportedly asking driver Ricky Craven of Newburgh, Maine, to take over the wheel at Dover, Delaware, this weekend. Craven was behind the wheel of the #32 Tide Chevy for PPI Motorsports in Sunday's Sylvania 300, in what was to be his last race since team owner Cal Wells signed another driver in the beginning of September. Craven could not be reached for comment, and a spokesperson from Hawk Sport Management would not confirm or deny that the agency's client will be driving for Childress this weekend. (Boston Herald)

[RobbyG Fan]

So far thats the only source actually running the news. I dont believe it. No other media outlets have reported that same thing, and that paper (Boston - New England) is very pro Craven. If Jeff Gordon didnt have a lifetime contract with Hendrick they would print that Craven is going to the #24 car.

WOW, i've never seen a bloodthirstier group salivating over the firing of someone like this before..I'm pretty sure a lot of this comes from venting anger at nascar....if there wasn't a chase, mayfield wouldn't have had a shot and stewart would just fall back a little....but hey, those are the new rules, so the "competition" is "better" and the "fans" are "angrier"...cool, good work nascar.

[RobbyG Fan]

And to think the accident didnt involve the C4C drivers directly. Robby didnt wreck them, they just got caught up in it.

If its this bad now, Im just waiting for Junior or Jeff Gordon to wreck someone who is in the C4C... I cant wait until they get called for the death penalty.

[esorlxaw]

XM Radio's NASCAR Channel 144 reporter, Claire B. Lang, reports that her contacts at RCR say Robby Gordon is still their driver and will be in the #31 Chevy at Dover. Also, Claire said she was not pushed by Gordon and was in a group of about 10 other reporters at the time.


I got this from jayski.com...so, the reporter he "pushed" didn't get "pushed"...hmmm

Welcome to Salem, the witch hunt is on...!

[Hawk3270]

I'm somewhere in the middle on this. I think it's somewhat overblown. What's the difference in what Robby did and Biffle spinning Marlin or anyone spinning anyone else for that matter. It happens all the time. Many times with intent but just not voiced on the radio. Harvick spinning Kenseth, Kenseth spinning Harvick, etc. Tony spinning someone. I think Robby is a victim of his reputation even though he has been a fairly clean driver the last several years. I would say Biffle is a much dirtier driver. It's all about who you are (kinda like the WWE). Either way I'm sure sponsors don't like to see the negative publicity. He probably would have been fine except for the post race media moment. When you get those guys against you it's over.

side note: 2 down 1 to go, maybe I'll like RCR one of these days if they keep adding classy drivers, Ward in the 31 would be nice next year

this won't be the last time one of the chase guys gets collected in a wreck, the media is loving it

[RobbyG Fan]

And Helton is too. Welcome to the chase for the championship, overdramatized fake racing at its best!

:bslfag:

[WideOpenPhoto]

Hey, I like Robby, and RCR... but I think his full time shot is over. He needs to go back and be a road course specialist and race in other series. He could dominate in the Rolex series or SCCA... Sorry Robby, but "your fired"

Just a question, how do you determine when a driver's full time shot is over? Does this mean that the 15 other full time drivers behind him in points should be out of a ride also?

[Lap3Forever]

Craven???? Craven???? He's a worse driver then Robby!

Uhhh... the only quality ride Robby has had has been with RCR, and RCR is far from quality as it is.

While Ricky has been with Hendrick, Cal Wells during their strong period, etc.

[esorlxaw]

I;ve just been amazed at what Robby has been able to accomplish with the bottom feeder Childress team...I know some may argue that the 31 is the number two team, but let's be honest, with childress, if it ain't harvick, it ain't worth s___!
Especially now that' Burton is on board, look for whoever drives the 31 to be the new 30 car. Watch Burton and Harvick start to even out more toward the end of the season and then be on par next season...which will probably mean they will both be mid packers at best with the 31 car being a back marker.

[RobbyG Fan]

Also note that the #31 never had a victory until Robby set foot in that car, since then he has given the team 3 victories. And RCR was a much much better team before 2001.

So a couple of years ago when Childress switched the 29 and 31 teams and cars that means what....that Robby was doing so good and Harvick was struggling so...they had to switch to make all right with the world.
Bartender, I'll have what he's having... :mellow:

[esorlxaw]

I'm basically talking about how harvick's team IS the alpha team at RCR...not WAS the alpha team.

[boB]

RobbyGfan,

And how many other drivers have been in that Hendrick #25 and had wins in the last decade?
How many years did Schrader run that car with about the same results Craven and others showed?
Wasn't Craven's first ride in the #25 the Daytona race where the Hendrick cars finished 1-2-3, and didn't he sit on the pole here at NHIS in one of his last rides in that car?

How many races did Ricky qualify for in two completely underfunded teams over the next two seasons? I don't recall him missing very many races or having to use provisional starting spots very often with either of those teams.

How can you say that the Cal Wells team is a first class ride?
Scott Pruett and Andy Houston might not agree with that statement. Craven pulled that team up from not being able to qualify to a couple of wins. This year they were doing their own engines and haven't run well at all. Don't understand how you can blame the driver if the team isn't giving him the cars capable of running even mid pack. Pretty hard to finish races with blown engines and cars that won't handle. My understanding is that the team has decided to lease engines from RCR, starting a couple of weeks ago because of the failure of their own program.
Even at that, how many provisionals has Craven had to take this year?
Craven leaving the Well's team was, and this is according to parties involved, a mutual agreement; best I've heard is that they parted ways as friends and Ricky was offered the ride here at NHIS so he could finish his tenure with the team in front of his "hometown" fans.

In all your stats list, you overlook the fact that Craven has won Rookie of the Year in every series he's competed in since he started racing; he has won titles in all but the Busch and Cup series, although he did finish second in the Busch series two consecutive years.

And just one other thing while we're here; Ricky Craven knows how to pass other cars on the track without using the front bumper and also won that Darlington race by the closest margin ever in that series. Yeah, they crashed at the finish, but that was hard, honest racing, both drivers hungry for the victory, not trying to win by spinning another car to get the checkers.
Remember his Martinsville win when he and Dale Jarrett finished side by side without any contact? Two good, hard racers who know how to win without having to resort to dirty driving.
There's a difference between Craven and Robby Gordon alright; Craven is a mature adult who has control of his emotions. Robby Gordon has yet to exhibit anything close to maturity in his behavior.

[esorlxaw]

I really like hearing about how robby is an immature brat...he never had to work for anything in his life, it was all handed to him...this makes him different from every other driver.

[barelypure]

And, your dog poops a lot... :unsure:

There may be 15 drivers that are lower in the points, but how many of those 15 drivers consistantly have problems taking out others on track during races. Think about it. I would rather have Shelmerdine in that ride if he raced clean than Robby who should go back to driving school for oval tracks... Heck his bumper is bigger than my wifes ass!!!

[RobbyG Fan]

Bob, I can say the same about Robby. Fact is the record speaks for itself, Robby has a superior record compared to Ricky Craven in the Cup Series. Id also say Robby has a superior record in racing period, when you take all of Robby's accomplishments in offroad, open wheel, sports cars, and stock cars.

Right. In 2004, name the last time Robby took someone out? I can name a good amount of drivers that have raced dirtier this year. Did Robby race overagressive in 2001? Yeah. I'll give you that much. But to say he has from mid 2002 on you are truely kidding yourself.
