What a shame, I remember McMurray having a great car in this race.

@ffhd1clt Just to finish up...I just get a bit frustrated with people who say "Robby can't drive, etc." They clearly have no idea what they're talking about. Hell, watch the replay of the 1999 Indy 500, arguably the biggest race in motorsports, and you'll see Robby took the white flag with the lead. He didn't win, but the crew chief was to blame. Point is, the man can drive anything, but does not want to drive for anyone but himself. Good for him, he has gotten very rich along the way.

@osubuckeyes14 Yeah, you're right, I admit when I'm wrong. Jamie won 3 times in 2010, so my mind was probably working a year behind, which means it was ahead of its normal schedule. I did say "NASCAR" wins though, as opposed to Cup wins, and Robby has one of those as well (I know Jamie has some too). Robby's win in Richmond in the Nationwide Series was in a Robby Gordon Motorsports car. Robby also won one of the "Twins" at Daytona in the Cingular Wireless car, a non-points win.

@ffhd1clt no he doesnt. mcmurray has 6. robby has 3. and robby's been racing in nascar 10 years longer.

Robby Gordan is a fucking Pylon, that's why his car is painted orange now....

@ffhd1clt I wasn't blaming Robby Gordon due to having some kind of failure in his car, all that I'm saying is that Jamie could've finished in the Top 4 if it wasn't for Robby's technical failure

@KKFan9 Robby has more wins in NASCAR than Jamie.

[ffhd1clt]

@PRickJr2448 You have no idea what you're talking about. 2 of his wins were on road courses, and he spun no one to win those. His first win was at NH, and he did get into Jeff Gordon, but NASCAR ruled he did nothing wrong. In fact, Jeff is the won who was penalized by NASCAR for trying to retaliate, even though Robby didn't wreck him. Get your facts straight please...

@ctognnn123 He had "luck" then because he was racing for RCR, but unlike most people, Robby isn't the type to just be an employee/driver. He wanted to run the show, make money for himself to fund his other projects, and that's what he is doing. He manages to keep himself inside the top 35, and that's what the sponsors want to see. I say good for him for being his own person.

@666jewkid Robby is an owner/driver, and every year he manages to keep himself inside the top 35, which means he always makes the race, which is what the sponsors want. He manages to do this, all the while racing in the Baja 500, Baja 1000, and Dakar, among other things. No other driver in NASCAR comes close to being as busy as Robby. He has a beautiful race shop in Charlotte, and he also has an off-road store in CA. He employs quite a few people as well.

@Axel7043 Everyone wants to blame Robby anytime he's involved in a wreck. They showed this 4 or 5 times, and it was never clear what happened. If you've ever been in one of these cars, you would know they sometimes get "pulled" into another car by the air created when they get that close together, especially in a turn. This looked to me like a racing incident, and nothing more. Robby had absolutley no reason to wreck the guy.
