Robby Gordon

“You don't come around to the pit lane every mile; when you leave on a rally, you're gone for 500 miles in certain stages. You've got to work on your own car and fix it. It's a logistical nightmare, and it really challenges me.”

“We've got a great race team.”

“The next Rick Hendrick, Richard Childress, or Joe Gibbs has to come from somewhere.”

“The lighter the car, the faster it goes.”

“I've been fortunate to drive for some of the greats in racing.”

“Isn't it great to go race for 16 days straight?”

“NASCAR, there's nothing wrong with it, it's very competitive, but the specs are very tight on tolerances.”

“I like the competition that Nextel Cup gives us. The schedule is difficult. But this is something I want to do for sure.”

“I've run 1,000 miles in Baja, and that's pretty much nonstop.”

“The Baja is a survival race, and there is no break, but you're not up on the wheel all day in the Baja like you are in Winston Cup or at Indy.”

“I love the Dakar Rally, the Baja stuff.”

“I told Monster the other day, I'm a racer's racer. This is what I truly love to do.”

“Do you think I really care what Jeff Gordon says?”

“I dreamed to be able to have these opportunities as a young kid. I've had the opportunity to run the best cars in the world.”

“I've been fortunate enough that in every form of motor sports in which I've competed, we've won.”

“We don't want to fight NASCAR.”

“When you're out of gas, you don't have many options.”

“I would like to run about 15 stock car races a year. That would be my goal.”

“I've built my business around the No. 7.”

“If anything on the car is going to blow up or fall off, you usually see it happen in the 600. But it's also survival for the drivers because it's such a long race and it's usually hot at Charlotte. It's hard for drivers to feel good for the whole 400 laps.”
