moved his Busch Series team up to the Nextel Cup and was the only driver/owner
left! During this Season his primary sponsor was Jim Beam Bourbon and his crew
chief was Greg Erwin! That Season Robort struggled as he only had two top 10’s

tens and placing 24th in the point standings, so he was very happy
for improvement! Then this year during the 2010 Season his car was found to
have illegal parts during inspection on May 7th 2010 before a race
at Darlington Raceway. His crew chief was placed on probation for the rest of
the year, and Gordon had to pay a total of 290,000 to NASCAR!! Rule violations!
