Robby Gordon Quotations

He got away because he stabbed the brakes then took off. He's a great racer, but second is just first loser.

If you think you've stopped learning, you're going to get lapped.

I'm sorry for losing my temper following the race, but after a day or two of looking back at the race it's easy to realize that it's just not that big of a deal compared with what the people of the Gulf Coast are still going through.

Stand on the gas, my friend. If your right foot doesn't ache, you're obviously doing something wrong.

The Wood Brothers' car and ours are the only one-car teams in the top 25 (in points), and I'm very confident that we'll be able to stay there. It's not about how many cars you field that determines where you'll finish, it's how well prepared each of those cars are, and I believe we're as well prepared as most.

Probably two more corners and we would have got him. We had the fastest car all day. We stuck to our strategy. We only got six laps of practice, and we didn't have a good fuel mileage number.

We're not just thinking of the Daytona 500. We've got cars finished all the way through Atlanta right now. So our race team is a lot better race team and we've got a lot of confidence in our guys. We're getting our structures and processes and procedures and all that stuff in place where a year ago, we didn't have that.

Tony got everybody started, and bam! - they all ran. You get one egg and, before you know it, you've got chickens everywhere.

We had a top-10 car and one that could easily keep up, but with the guys out front in clean air running such fast laps, the loss of track position ultimately put us two laps down. Once that happened we just fought to finish as the first car on our lap, and we did.

We've got a good race car that we think we can take to the front on Thursday, and there are also four other good cars that could help us out if they run well. It's not a lock, but I'm happy with our effort.
