Robby Gordon makes the move to Dodge
Robby Gordon signed an agreement with GEM and moves over to the Dodge stable, one year after moving to Ford. The agreement with GEM gives Gordon the technical support, manufacture support and marketing support for his team.
Robby Gordon said he made the move for more "stability" for his team, obviously something he didn't feel was there with Ford.
While I didn't understand why he moved from Chevy to Ford in the first place, I think this is a good move for him since he didn't have any affiliation with Roush, I don't think he was going to be able to get the help he needed for his team, especially where he needed it.
According to Gordon, it was strictly a business decision for the forward movement of his team, not a slam against Ford.
It'll be interesting to see how Gordon does, all his testing was done in a Ford, so GEM will have to help him out a bit with information from testing. Gordon's first foray in a Dodge, including GEM engines, will be when practice starts at Daytona next week.
Your thoughts?

I felt bad for Robbie being the low man on the "Totem Pole" at General Motors, So to move to Ford SHOULD have reaped benifits, but in reality most of that money is tied to Roush and all the other Ford teams suffer. I hope that moving to an alliance with Gillett Evernham will be a better deal...In my own opinion "Robbie you should have talked to Jim Aust"
