Upon discovering that TBS will be running a 12-hour marathon of the 90's sitcom "Family Matters", Robby Gordon has decided to skip this week's upcoming race.
"We are all committed to keeping the #7 Dodge in the Top-35 in points here at Robby Gordon Motorsports--all 9 of us", Gordon said in a press release. "But the opportunity to see the episode where Eddie, Steve, and Waldo get stuck on the fire escape is too good to pass up."
Gordon went on to explain that, while his sponsor (Speed Energy) originally had some reservations about his skipping the race, a 4-hour-long conversation with a mirror convinced him otherwise.
"I checked my TV-Listings thing on my cable system, and there's some really good episodes this Sunday", Gordon explained in a recent interview. "The one where Carl and Eddie rebuild a police car, the one where Harriet embarrasses Laura in front of her friends, even the first appearance of Stephan Urquell. Its just too good to pass up. I can run a race and spin out on the last lap any day."
Rumors abound as to who will run the #7 car this Sunday, as normal substitute Scott Wimmer is "booked solid" with a rare showing of the first few episodes of "Step by Step".
