Sending Busch Teams South Of The Boarder...Is It Worth The Risk?

Not for FBG Racing CEO Frank Gordon, it isn't. "I understand that NASCAR is trying to get money from our neighbors to the North and South of the United States, but this schedule they have us running is hectic enough as it is without driving to Mexico", Gordon stated earlier today. "I mean, sure motor sports are big down there. They're big everywhere you find cars. But you don't see us flying to Germany or Australia, do you? Just because there is a way to get there by land doesn't make it any easier logistically."
Gordon also stated NASCAR is "asking for it" by sending high-profile athletes to a country where "crime, pollution and kidnapping are the norm". "I have instructed all of my teams that are going to Mexico to stay at the track near their haulers despite the Saturday evening off," says Gordon. "If they need something they can't get at the track, we'll try to get someone with security to get it for them, but no one's leaving the area to go any where or do any thing. We're here to race."
The G2 Auto Racing Teams will compete in the Telcel Motorola Mexico 200 on Sunday, March 6th at 3PM Eastern.
