Robby Gordon to drive the #22 for Fitz
Robby Gordon to Drive the #22 in the Camping World 300
Veteran driver Robby Gordon has accepted the invitation extended by team owner Armando Fitz to drive the #22 for Supercuts in the Camping World 300 this weekend at the California Speedway.
“I’ve had the opportunity to work with Robby in the past, and knowing that he is a talented driver, I am eager to see what he can do for Supercuts and our team,” Armando Fitz stated. “We are glad it worked out so that both teams will be benefiting from the arrangement.”
Fitz Motorsports, who remains in the top-10 in owner points, is looking forward to having the southern California native behind the wheel this weekend. The hometown hero Robby Gordon is also glad to be able to give his fans two nights of racing action.
Gordon stated, “I'm excited about the opportunity to run in California, it’s actually my home race track. It will help out not only Fitz Motorsports, but Robby Gordon Motorsports as well due to the fact that we’re going to get to learn about the tires during Saturday’s race which we can apply to Sunday’s race. Armando and I have been friends for a long time- I drove for his father-in-law ten years ago and it’s kind of cool to come back and drive again- it should be fun.”
Crew Chief Paul Wolfe, who has had the opportunity to work with five other drivers this season, is eager to have Gordon’s skills on the track this weekend.
Wolfe stated, “It should be an exciting race this weekend in California with Robby in our Supercuts car. He has a great deal of experience and a fearlessness that might be just what our car needs. We ran well at California in the spring, and we are taking the car that ran in the top-10 in Michigan, so I think as far as the equipment goes we should be good to go. Just looking forward to seeing what Robby can do with it.”
