Robby's deal with Childress if there is one will most likely be in the #31 Lowe's car that Mike Skinner hasn't won with since he started driving it in 1996.

I've been told by a very good source that Skinner will not be back with RCR next year.

Richard, being the man that he is, fulfilled his five year obligation to Mike.

But that's it.

Robby ran really well in the 7 again today before some sort of problem. So don't you think he'd turn down the ride if Childress offered? "Sorry Richard. You have a great team but I sense this team is the future."

I thought I heard on the radio today that Robby Gordon is taking over for the recently fired Wallace brother.

On the same broadcast from form the NASCAR Chicagoland race, they interviewed Tony George. He came off pretty well, I thought. They were giving him props for the job well done on the new track. They also asked if the BY400 was sold out, and he said yes.

What they said during the broadcast of the race is that Robby has been offered the #7 ride but he is not sure that he wants to committ to that ride yet. I guess he is keeping his options open and hoping for a better ride to come available.

However, the way that car has been running lately, he is stupid for not jumping at it. Mike Wallace was a serious threat late in the Pepsi 400 in that car. Robby also hasn't done much in a stock car to deserve a much better ride in my opinion.

Thanks, Joe. I was in the car when I heard it, so I probably missed that part.

I heard pretty much the same thing that Joe Fan posted.

With what happened to Mike Skinner(fractured ankle & concussion) today at Chicago RobbyG 'may' be in the # 31car next weekend at Louden.

I just love it when someone refers to a "close source" as a reliable source of information but can not name that source, must be a top secret spy or something, I personnaly don't quote sources if I can't name them, if it can't confirmed it just a silly rumor..

I told a co-worker that Robby Gordon was already given 'The Call' by NASCAR at Sears Point, but someone forgot to tell Kevin Harvick
