so which one is it? conflicting rumors:
Tina Gordon is talking with several Busch and Truck teams about the 2005 season. She would move to a new team with Vassarette, Microtel and Sticks ‘n Stuff backing financially, as well as a couple of other sponsors that haven’t been announced. She is also finalizing talks with a television series about a regular national show beginning in 2005. She will supposedly NOT return to Jay Robinson Racing and this is not with KCR Racing…….
OR Keith Coleman, owner of KCR Racing told a reporter this evening that Vassarette has severed all ties with Tina Gordon as well as with Jay Robinson Racing and will be sponsoring the #50 entry of Jennifer Jo Cobb for the 2005 season.(11-17-2004)
UPDATE: Former ARCA RE/MAX Series driver Jennifer Jo Cobb has linked with Kentucky’s Keith Coleman Racing for this weekends Ford 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway as well as partnering together for the entire 2005 NASCAR Busch Series schedule, with Cobb aiming for Rookie-of-the-Year honors. In a second KCR (Keith Coleman Racing) entry, she will jump in the #50 Chevrolet Monte Carlo looking to become the third female this season to compete in the NASCAR Busch Series. Kim Crosby, another ARCA RE/MAX Series sensation has competed in a limited schedule with WARE Racing and Ortec Racing. The other, Tina Gordon, pilots the #39 Yahoo! Ford Taurus for Jay Robinson Racing. KCR is a new NASCAR Busch Series team joining the tour in the latter part of the 2004 season purchasing the remaining assets of Holigan Racing. Cobb will drive Holigans former car number #50 this weekend. Aiding her this weekend in the sponsorship department will be Vassarette. Vassarette, a slick women’s lingerie apparel firm is stepping up from their prior commitments and ready to soar into victory lane with Cobb and the Keith Coleman Racing team. Vassarette debuted in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series with driver Tina Gordon at ThorSport Racing in February at Daytona. Shortly after, ThorSport dropped Gordon. She rebounded in the NASCAR Busch Series a short time later to take the reins of the No. 39 Ford Taurus previously driven by Mark Green, who now drives for Keith Coleman Racing. Gordon has struggled behind the wheel with Vassarette as an associate sponsor, failing to make any of her 12 events on time. Vassarette is no longer associated with Tina Gordon, or Jay Robinson Racing, said Keith Coleman, owner of Keith Coleman Racing. We are pleased that they have joined our stable and we are looking forward to a very productive relationship. Cobb will definitely have lots of support and guidance this weekend. Mark Green, Keith Coleman Racing’s other driver will look to mentor her smoothly into the secondary series of NASCAR. Green pilots the #26 Lovefifi.com Chevrolet Monte Carlo. Since debuting the team at Kansas Speedway in October, they have been able to qualify for each event they have attempted and the finishes have been promising. Without any provisonals to fall back on the team has needed to gain entry through qualifying times, and they have. With a worst start of 26th, it has to give Cobb confidence going into the weekend knowing that she is going to have strong Wagner horsepower under her. Following Homestead, it will be a busy off-season for Keith Coleman Racing. Lovefifi.com will return as the primary sponsor of Greens #26 in 2005, while Vassarette inks with Cobb in the #50 next season. In addition to running two-full time NASCAR Busch Series teams with Green and Cobb in 2005, he is also going to launch a third full time NASCAR Busch Series operation with another female driver at the helm. Coleman has sponsorship set for the team, and is currently reviewing possible female candidates for the position. Thats not all Keith Coleman Racing has planned. In addition to his impressive Busch operation, he will also unveil a NASCAR Nextel Cup Series team in 2005. The Keith Coleman Racing Cup entry will run a limited schedule with a driver to be announced at a later time. The experience the team receives in Cup will only aid them in their bid for a full-time NASCAR Nextel Cup Series program in 2006.(Catchfence)(11-18-2004)
