Robby Gordon’s Quotes on racing at Lowe’s Motor Speedway
“I am really looking forward to racing in Charlotte on Friday night. The No. 55 Verizon Wireless Ford Fusion should be good with the changes that we have recently made to our Busch cars. Lowe's Motor Speedway is a fast track and with this race being under the lights, the race should be real exciting."
