UPDATE: Jay Robinson Racing will make history this weekend at Daytona International Speedway. Tina Gordon will make her debut with the #39 Yahoo! Ford team in Friday night’s Winn-Dixie 250 NASCAR Busch Series race at the 2.5-mile speedway, and will be in the driver’s seat the rest of the 2004 season. At that point, Jay Robinson Racing will be the first team in NASCAR history to have placed two female drivers in full-time driving roles. Tammy Jo Kirk was in a full-time driving role for Robinson last season. Gordon comes to the Yahoo! Ford team from the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series, but also brings strong experience credentials from the weekly short tracks of Alabama. “The tradition of racing in Alabama is important to me, and I want to help carry on that heritage,” Gordon said. “Being able to work with a consistent team such as Jay Robinson Racing and a cutting-edge sponsor like Yahoo! is important to my career and to my development as a driver.” Microtel Inn and Suites, which has received the J.D. Power & Associates award for highest guest satisfaction the past two years, and Vasarette, a top of the line lingerie manufacturer, will join Jay Robinson Racing as associate sponsors on the #39 Yahoo! Ford.(Williams Company)(7-1-2004)
