2007 Season Underway

With Tony Stewart taking the checkered flag at the 2007 Budweiser Shootout, FBG Racing officially got the first pick of the G2 Auto Racing Cup Series Draft. Unsurprisingly, owner Frank Gordon selected Matt Kenseth. Kenseth has been a stalwart of FBG Racing since its inception. To match, Griffin Motorsports selected its cornerstone, Jimmie Johnson. The biggest surprises of the draft were not who got selected, but rather who did not. For the first time, 4 time champion Jeff Gordon will not be a full time driver, instead being listed as an alternate for FBG. Others who have been full time members not selected were Greg Biffle, Mark Martin, Kurt Busch, Jamie McMurray, and Casey Mears. The following illustrates the starting lineups for 2007.
