Jeff Gordon To Make Shootout For FBG Racing
2004 Griffin Motorsports alternate and now free agent Jeff Gordon has been picked to represent FBG Racing in the Budweiser Shootout for G2 Auto Racing on February 12 at Daytona International Speedway. This is a crucial event for the G2 teams, as the highest-ranking driver will give his respective team first pick in the 2005 G2 Auto Racing draft.
"We're all very excited to kick off the season," said FBG Racing's found and CEO Frank Gordon. "Jeff posted some very strong numbers during testing, and given his success at Daytona in the past, we thought we'd give him a shot." There have been rumors circulating about why FBG Racing front man Tony Stewart was not picked to compete in the Shootout, but Gordon insists that they are completely unfounded. "I am well aware of Tony's skill here at Daytona, and the decision not to have him compete for us in the Shootout was not an easy one. However, given to the new changes that NASCAR has made concerning the aerodynamics of the car, Jeff has more seat time in the new setup, and was consistently at the top of the field during testing. Tony is looking forward to Speed Weeks at Daytona, and is ready to make the 2005 G2 Auto Racing season a great one for FBG Racing. I, for one, can't wait to see what he does at the Daytona 500."
There has been a buzz for days around the Daytona garage area about the G2 draft, with which drivers will be picked for the G2 Auto Racing teams. With rules changes from both NASCAR and G2 taking effect this season, team owners Frank Gordon and Lincoln Griffin will both need to make careful choices as to who will compete for the coveted G2 Auto Racing Championship.

In a startling revelation, Griffin Motorsports has announced that Tony Stewart will be their oficial representative at the Bud Shootout. Not really, that would be funny though!!
