| Robby Gordon prepares to compete in his 10th Indy 500. |
INDIANAPOLIS -- Robby Gordon left the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Sunday on Tony George's helicopter at approximately 2:06 p.m. (Indy time) to take a Citation X jet to Concord, N.C. for Sunday night's Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR Cup event. Gordon passed eight cars on the first lap of Sunday's Indy 500, advancing from his 18th starting position to 10th in the Meijer/Coca-Cola Dallara-Chevrolet. Gordon lost one spot on lap two and fell to 16th place after his first pit stop and was in that spot when the red flag waved after 27 laps. Gordon's pit stop was delayed when he was held in the pit stall after refueling and change of Firestone Firehawk tires in order to avoid a potential collision with another car coming down pit road.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Robby Gordon pre-Indianapolis 500/NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 general quotes. Gordon starts his 10th Indy 500 in his Meijer/Coca-Cola Dallara-Chevrolet and the Coke 600 in the Cingular Wireless Chevy for Richard Childress Racing.
General comments: "I think we're very well prepared going into both races. Obviously, we didn't qualify as well as we'd like (18th at Indy), but I think we have a good handling car for the race. There are always a lot of factors going into the race, like fuel mileage, and all the other variables that make the Indy 500 the Indy 500."
On forecast for scattered showers on Sunday: "I don't control the weather. We know what our plan is and we'll stick with it. I have Jaques Lazier here. He's going to spot for me and is available to drive if that's the situation that we have to deal with."
On the start: "Brian (Barnhart) sounded pretty convincing (in drivers' meeting) that he wants a safe start and if that means falling in line through turn one and then start passing coming off turn two, that's how I'll handle it. Hopefully we can carry a lot of momentum and start making places after that."
