Robby Gordon’s Quotes on Watkins Glen
 
“We are looking forward to running in the Busch Series race again this year at the Glen. The final laps of last year’s race were very exciting,” Gordon said. “We are bringing back the same car that we raced last weekend in Montreal and last year at this race, so we should be a contender again this weekend. I want to thank the guys in the shop for the long hours that they put in this week fixing the damage from last week’s race. It is their hard work that is allowing us to race this car, which has consistently showed is capable of winning races. Verizon Wireless is our primary sponsor for this event, so we hope to bring them their first victory in the Busch Series.”
