Charlotte, NC (October 21, 2011) – Making his 22nd career start at Talladega Superspeedway, Robby Gordon will be piloting the No. 7 SPEED Energy/MAPEI Dodge Charger in the Good Sam Club 500 this weekend. In the spring event at the 2.66 mile tri-oval, Robby Gordon and the SPEED Energy team rallied to claim a 20th place finish.
“Restrictor plate racing is usually good for our team. We can come out of here with a decent finish and improve on our record from earlier this year. The key is trying to find the right partner to push you toward the front. My car seems like it works better while pushing someone else. Happy to have MAPEI on board for Talladega…it should be a fun one,” says Gordon.
