Robby Gordon, on using rain tires in Sprint Cup races:
"I wish we'd just suck it up and run on rain tires. As far as I'm
concerned, I'd run with them on the ovals, too." Full story ...

First time I've heard a driver suggest that. A lot of armchair critics seem
to think it would be impossible to race an oval in the wet. Or way too
dangerous at the very least.

I wouldn't want to put a whole of salt inot thinking that what
Robby Gordon thinks, is universal in the garage area....

We heard one yesterday say that in the Nationwide series it almost worked,
but in the cup series the cars are WAY too powerful to think it would be
anything but a disaster..
So that trumps out Gordon's thoughts, as this guy was a very experienced
road racer..

Best trade I ever made...
