That's why I left," said Gordon, who gave up a promising open-wheel career to race NASCAR full time four years ago. "One hundred percent, no ifs, ands or buts about it. Indy cars are too fast for ovals, and they run ovals every weekend. If I run on ovals, then I'm running around in a stock car with a lot more protection around me and at less speeds as well."

And making 10-times more money than anyone in Indy Cars could dream of making.

Last year he wasn't going back because Danica had a weight advantage.
Robby "left" OW racing because no-one offered him a ride.

^ Actually, slow bear is right. No one in OW wanted him. But hey Robby, don't let facts get in the way of a good soundbite.

Seems weird, but okay. Guess I'm wrong. :)

Ya, no kidding. It's like the guy that got fired and says, "you can't fire me, because I quit!"

OK Robby, whatever. :rolleyes:

IIRC, '99 was Robby's last season in CART.
Other than one-offs at Indy, his IRL career consists of 1 race in '96.
Robby's a talented driver who has too often let his mouth offset his on-track performance.

Well, facts are facts. He couldn't shut his yap, and he underperformed. He may be right, but he never met a bull**** soundbite he didn't like.
