from a question on Robby Gordon’s Mailbag on CNNSI.com, will Gordon run the Coca-Cola 600 and Indy 500 this year? “I’d love to do the Double on Memorial Day weekend again, so I’m working on getting a sponsor for the Indy 500 right now and I think I’m getting close. Cingular Wireless sponsored me in the Double last May when I competed in the Indy 500 and then flew to Charlotte for the Coca-Cola 600. That was a blast but it was also a lot of work and an exhausting day. I finished eighth at Indy and brought home a 16th-place finish in the Winston Cup race. If I get the chance to do it again, I’ll make sure I take the IV fluids between the races and work out a little more leading up to the race. It takes a lot of stamina to make 1,100 miles.”( CNNSI )(2-7-2003)
