Home :About Us
Who We AreIt is fairly common for sites to have an About Us section. Saying who you are and what you do is basic politeness in any conversation. Trust and credibility are major issues on the Web. Explaining who you are and where you come from does matter and we make the following promises to our audience: We'll provide you with accurate, engaging content. Like a friendly neighbor, we'll give you information that you can trust. We won't make you dig through a haystack to find the needle. We'll make it easy to learn the basics of the topic we cover and we won't confuse you with unnecessary jargon. Our content is succinct, digestible, and entertaining. So many About Us pages are a waste of HTML. Though not everyone wants to know more about you, there are those who do. This page will tell you everything you ever wanted to know (and some things you don't) about us! Pay attention, we'll be giving a quiz! Starting in 1996 with the idea of gathering and providing Dick Trickle and stock car racing fans stuff that could not be found elsewhere on the net. The site covers all aspects of stock car racing and stock circuits. I gleaned the web, newspaper articles, magazines, pictures, etc. which I wanted to keep and along with some original content add the things I'm interested in and I hope you are too. I come from Missouri originally and operate this site from Oklahoma. I have a construction background, but since the stroke I do this Web Site. The Contact Us, The Small Print, and a Link Exchange are located on the contact page. There is a breed of man who does not choose to die in bed. NFL-coach-turned-race-team-owner Joe Gibbs said, after the death of Neil Bonnett, "To take the safe path, for a lot of us, is not quality life." All sport offers some degree of risk; some, the risk of death. When men are killed driving race cars, it is easy for critics to discount motor racing as sport ... What is missing in these criticisms is any sense of the basic drama of motor racing, which has nothing to do with death or injury but rather has to do with courage and exceptional powers of concentration. Few of us can even imagine the level of skill and concentration required to take a small fragile missile hurling to the outer edges of control at over 200 miles per hour; fewer still can imagine doing it with machine-like precision lap after lap for 500 miles ... These are not stick-and-ball games, where mistakes earn you an unkind word from the coach or manager. This is competition in its purest form, where winning is sweetest because there really is something to lose ... If motor racing can be cruel and unforgiving, it is also a serious ritual, filled with thunder and grace. In 2005 the Dick Trickle 'Die-Hard' Journal & Scrapbook site became about Robby Gordon also. In 2006, Robby Gordon got his own site, the only owner/driver currently in Nextel Cup. Which says a lot. In 2008, Robby became a part of this site. Born in Bellflower, California, on January 2, 1969, Gordon is an American racing driver, who currently competes in the cup Nextel Cup Series. Robby is regarded as one of the best road course drivers in cup. A six-time off-road champion, Gordon moved to sports cars in 1990, took five GTO checkered flags in 1991 and won a Trans-Am race in 1992. His background is in open-wheel racing, and he won races in IndyCars for Derrick Walker, also running his own team in the late 1990s. He has also competed in the Indy Racing League. In 1999, Gordon came within two laps of winning the Indianapolis 500. He inherited the lead by virtue of not stopping for a final pit stop and the tried to conserve enough fuel to last until the end of the race. He ran out on lap 199 (of 200) and had to give up the lead to Sweden's Kenny Brack. In 2002, Helio Castroneves tried almost exactly the same move and won when a crash brought out the caution flag at the end of the race and allowed him to coast the last two laps. He made the transistion to Indy cars in 1993, taking an offer to drive for A.J. Foyt. Two years later in 1995, Gordon took four poles and two victories in the CART series. He also proved he could drive a stock car, finishing second in the International Race of Champions series in both 1996 and 1997. Robby's first taste of Cup racing actually came in 1991, when he entered the Daytona 500 for Junie Donlavey. Two years later, he drove the No. 28 Ford for Robert Yates Racing at Talladega in the team's first race since Davey Allison's death. Gordon then made single starts for Kranefuss-Haas and Dale Earnhardt Inc. before signing with Felix Sabates in 1996. Gordon ran 22 races with the Sabates team over the following two seasons. Perhaps Gordon's most famous moment came at the Indianapolis 500 in 1999. After leading 33 laps, Gordon ran out of fuel while leading on the race's final lap. Gordon then decided to start his own Cup team in 2000. He finished 43rd in the series standings that year, which included a fourth-place finish at Watkins Glen and a ninth-place effort at Infineon Raceway. After disbanding his team, Gordon ran five races for Morgan-McClure Racing and two races for Jim Smith before signing on with Richard Childress Racing to take over the driver's seat of the No. 31 Chevrolet after Mike Skinner elected to have reconstructive knee surgery with nine races left in the season.
