Kahne keeping an eye on Robby Gordon

For the time being, Kasey Kahne and Robby Gordon are teammates, sort of. Gordon recently partnered with Gillett Evernham Motorsports, which has a three-car team in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
Kahne drives the No. 9 Dodge for GEM and Gordon owns and runs his race operation independently, receiving support and equipment from GEM.
Kahne said he is hoping the newly forged relationship will make Gordon a different driver. In other words, Kahne is hoping Gordon develops an appreciation for his new partners in racing.
“I’ve always got along with Robby Gordon,” Kahne said. “But as far as on the race track, when he’s out there, you have to race differently. He has a different style of racing. It’s very aggressive”
Gordon has been know to ruffle a few fenders and Kahne even said his spotter makes sure he keeps an eye on Gordon during races.
“Robby is the kind of driver that wants to be a teammate and wants to be part of our company,” Kahne said. “He’s going to race us like he wants us to race him.”
