Gordon NOT signed: Robby Gordon denied rumors posted on various NASCAR Internet sites that he has already signed with Childress Racing for next season. As for “Silly Season” rumors that have Gordon already filming commercials for RCR’s new sponsor Cingular Wireless, Gordon said flatly, “Absolutely not true. This is a great team, and I think I could do some great things with this team, but I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’ve got several offers on the table, one here and several in Indy cars,” he said. Gordon, who has filled in for RCR since Mike Skinner’s season-ending knee surgery following a crash at Chicago in July, said Childress will make his decision on the permanent replacement for Skinner in the #31 Chevy by next month’s race in Atlanta.(TimesDaily)(10-24-2001)
