Robby Gordon refuses to relinquish the number 7 to Danica Patrick, thought's, comments?
@ Bill you're correct Nascar own's the number's and leases them annually and reissues number's that team's have previously used.

Everybody has a right to do business the way they want to. Maybe that number means more to Robby Gordon, and it should, it's on his car. It just shows that he isn't a quitter. He's not done with the #7. Obviously this shows that he has some pride, and he isn't going to be insulted by money or being forced into believing that Danica Patrick is special or important. It's not about money, it's about how Robby Gordon does business. He isn't manipulated easily, in business and obviously that's good for him since he runs his own business. I'm sure he puts all his hard earned money from off-roading into his NASCAR business, and that's very respectable. Maybe Danica might have to race against Robby Gordon in the Cup Series some day. After all Robby is a Cup driver, Danica isn't. She's being guided and flaunted through the sport, and a lot of it is because she's a female. Robby don't play that way, and he isn't about to give up now. He works hard to be a Cup driver. Maybe he's old fashioned, like "if you want something earn it". I'm sure Robby Gordon didn't get by in life on his looks. A business transaction has to be mutual, but Robby's not the one asking. I hope Robby wins another Baja and keeps racing in NASCAR. I've seen some of his off-road videos on You Tube. Very cool. The guy is pretty deeply dedicated to motorsports. He deserves a little more respect than to make any speculations against him for how he conducts his business.

NASCAR owns the numbers, currently Robbie Gordon has the lease on it, he doesn't want to give it up. Enough said.

Biner if I'm not mistaken The Car owners lease numbers from Nascar,
Robby has the lease and paid for it , no matter who thinks Nascar has the right to just take it away
is wrong, If we all remember Dale Jr wanted to take the number 8 with him and take it away from DEI --He didn't get the job done,guess we just gotta hang around and see what happen's. seems to the rules in Nascar are made as they go along.

Good for Robby Danica can shove the 7 up her you know Robby for no amount of $ will part with it unless NASCAR says so and for gos sake folks spell Robby right. (above me)

They'll take the 7 from Robby just to make an example and show all the drivers what they can do if they want to. They'll benefit from Danica having the 7 and give Robbie the shaft seeing as he's the underdog. Brian France is just that sorry.
