Griffin, Gordon To Attend Ford 400

As fate would have it, the remaining five contenders for the first Nextel Cup Championship are all G2 Auto Racing drivers: Two alternates from Griffin Motorsports (Gordon, Martin), two primaries from Griffin Motorsports (Johnson, Earnhardt) and a primary form FBG Racing (Busch). With the Championship hinging on the last race of the year, both G2 owners have decided to attend the Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway to oversee their teams as they attempt to bring the Cup back to their respective G2 Garages.
Lincoln Griffin, founder and CEO of Griffin Motorsports, as well as Frank Gordon, founder and CEO of FBG Racing, will not be attending the Ford 300, having decided to lend all of their support to the drivers who are competing for the Nextel Cup. "We couldn’t be happier with the success of G2 Auto Racing in its initial year," says Gordon. "Although we were certain that many of our drivers would be amoung the leading contenders in the Chase, Lincoln and I were both very happy to see 9 G2 drivers in those coveted spots. I think it says a lot about the organization."
When asked if he was worried that his one competing driver for the cup was contending so closely against two drivers from Griffin Motorsports, FBG Racing’s CEO did not seem overly concerned. "Of course I’m anxious to see how it all turns out, but Kurt [Busch] has the easiest job. He’s in the lead, so as long he can finish better than the other contenders, he should be fine."
