Robby Gordon’s Quotes on racing at Texas Motor Speedway
“This is only my second time racing in the NASCAR Busch Series race in Texas. The first time was in the spring of 2004, and I finished third. Dana Brugman, my Busch crew chief, and the guys in the shop have been working hard to make improvements to our Busch cars in recent weeks. I am looking forward Saturday’s race, and the final appearance of the No. 55 Verizon Wireless Ford Fusion for this season."
