The event promoter learned today that fan favourite Robbie Gordon will enter the upcoming NAPA Auto Parts 200 presented by Dodge which will be held August 19-20 at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
The American veteran will be driving the #77 Speed Energy Dodge Charger especially prepared for the Watkins Glen and Montréal events.
While Gordon was confirming his third presence in the five years of the event, Australian Marcos Ambrose was committing to the event he swore he would compete in until he won it. In four Montréal starts, the Tasmanian driver has earned two poles and collected three Top-10 finishes, two of them in the Top-5.
"Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is one of my favourite tracks, and I really enjoy going to Montreal. I like the city, and it has some of the best fans around," said Ambrose who will be driving the Richard Petty Motorsport #9 Ford Mustang.
"It's going to be a tough weekend doing double duty, racing in Montreal Saturday and then flying back to Michigan to race Sunday afternoon."
As for Robbie Gordon, who has had more than his share of troubles with Ambrose in the inaugural 2007 NAPA Auto Parts 200, he was glad to be returning to Montréal.
