Three sponsors for Robby.

Robby Gordon's latest venture into team ownership has netted him the assistance of no less than three separate sponsors for the 2005 season with news that Harrah's, Fruit of the Loom and Menards will all provide backing for Team Gordon's 2005 Nextel Cup campaign.

American website www.foxsports.com broke the news that Gordon's first owner/driver assault on NASCAR's premier series since 2000 would be backed by current Busch Series supporters Fruit of the Loom, long-time Gordon backers Menards and the Harrah's chain of casino's.

The FOX story also confirmed that Gordon would be using the #7 plate, as expected in 2005. Where this leaves Jim Smith's Ultra Motorsports outfit is unclear as Smith had professed hopes of sustaining his currently mothballed Nextel Cup outfit.
