Robby Gordon’s team has released this rather unique clip from the Prelude… enjoy
Robby Gordon, driver of the #7 Jim Beam Dodge on the NASCAR Sprint Cup circuit, has been added to the driver list in the 4th annual Old Spice Prelude to the Dream. Even more interesting, Gordon will be piloting a car owned and prepared by veteran late model racer Scott Bloomquist.
Eldora was out in full force over the weekend down in Greenville - taking part in pre-race displays at Ron Garrett Chevrolet, Tail Gators Sports Bar, and Advance Auto Parts.
Friday night kicked off at Ron Garrett Chevrolet with driver Levi Jones taking part in a meet and greet at the dealership showroom. The TSR #20 sprint car was on display, along with the new Eldora Chevrolet Pace Truck.
The party then moved across the street to Tail Gators sports bar where Jones was joined by local stock car driver Weasel Phlipot. The crowd was entertained with driver interviews, trivia prize packs, and a special race Tail Gators race menu.
Saturday was a big day at Advance Auto Parts, with local hot shoes Shawn Phillippi, Todd Sanders, Glen Knick, and Mike Barr taking part in a race car display and live radio remote in the store parking lot.
Thank you to the drivers and crews who took time out of their weekend to help promote the local auto racing scene. A big thank you to the store managers who helped coordinate each event as well!
