Jim Beam is really playing the field on this deal they are keeping right in the thick of the debate right now  way to take advantage.
I am really not a fan of Robby with the whole roll bar padding incident but I am a stewart fan and he sure is alot like stewart.  Robby couldn't buy a break for anything. But it appears that the verbal diahrea is taking effect again.  Robby made a comment that could be construed as a thinly veiled threat to jump ship to open wheel if this situation is not resolved.

It's a miricle it is the #7 Gordon & not the #24 Gordon

NASCAR would NEVER put a 100 point penalty on the #24 Gordon.  Robby Gordon is still paying for the incident last year.  He is an independant who is not afraid to speak his mind and is someone that NASCAR can't control.  They don't like that much.

Of course not, wait a minute, I forgot about Sonoma 2007...

So if robby ends up less than 100 points out of the top 35 and qualifying rains out  will evernham give him one of his top 35 spots since it was a screw up at his end?  NO
some partnership so far.

I hope ray is going to pay the fines.
