ROBBY GORDON PARTNERS WITH DODGE FOR 2011 SEASON
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (February 10, 2011) -- Robby Gordon announced today that he will be driving a Dodge Charger during the 2011 season in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. In response to the partnership with Robby Gordon Motorsports, Dodge President & CEO Ralph Gilles issued the following statement:
"We're excited Robby will be joining the Dodge Motorsports program in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2011. We like the competitive flair and skill he brings to the track. Robby's driving style mirrors the performance attitude of the rejuvenated Dodge brand, so he's a welcome addition to our team.
"We believe you don't need a certain number of cars to be successful in racing. The key is having the right combination of teams, drivers and technology. We already have a strong foundation with Penske Racing and the Dodge engineering team can easily support another Sprint Cup Series team. Our technical support will be a valuable asset for Robby Gordon Motorsports."
Robby Gordon (No. 7 SPEED Energy Dodge Charger) issued the following statement:
"I'm excited to be associated with a manufacturer again. I like the things that Dodge has been doing to build brand awareness. They have an impressive factory and facility, and their product line is top notch. I've really enjoyed putting this deal together with Ralph Gilles and Bryan Viger; they are a fun, youthful, forward-thinking group. I've worked with Dodge in the past and have always had a great relationship with Dodge corporate."
