South Boston, VA. - Though Gordon, driver of the No. 66 Samuel Metals Ford, was unable
to repeat as the Northern Division champ, he was exactly
disappointed to give up his title to St. Amant.
"He’s a great guy," said Gordon. "I have to congratulate him on a
great regular season. We had a couple of DNFs that cost us, but Gary
had a great year."
"I don’t think it has
sunk in yet. To hold off Benny Gordon, one of the
best short-track racers in the country, down the stretch
of the regular season was a real test."

Don’t Forget About Me…
Benny Gordon wasn’t spraying champagne, hugging Hooters Girls or
mugging for the cameras at the end of the Miller Lite 250, but don’t
overlook him in the Championship Series.
"Yeah, I would have liked to win the title, but I was more worried
about getting this team ready for the Championship Series," said
Gordon. "The car is working good, and the team’s working good. We’ve
got the Championship Series coming up, and that’s where they pay all
the big money."
