Darn .

SOOOO having a big mouth doesn't always work.

From the Article:

The company cited Gordon's comments as one of the reasons it sought to cancel its contract with his Dakar teams, and is seeking in court to officially terminate the deal and recover any money Gordon was paid before the event was canceled.

 

Which is why it isn't always a good idea to run your pie-hole................expressing your feelings, if you will.

This "opinionating" looks like it's gonna' cost Robby a lil' over $1MIL. I don't know............maybe he's got the cash. Maybe the money doesn't matter. Maybe some of the other "opinionaters" on the NASCAR circuit will pony up with the cash.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

They may have cited what he said, but it looks like the real problem is centered around using their logo in the United States.

I'm really not sure what the issue is here as it relates to Robby Gordon speaking his mind.

What exactly is it that he said that was untrue? Is this an LA based company?

Are any of his other sponsors pulling out because of his comments?

True character is not something shaped from without or put on, but it is something radiating from within.


All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Vanguard Integrity Professionals is suing Gordon in U.S. District Court in California over the sponsorship of Team Gordon in the Dakar Rally and is asking for $1.15 million back from the driver.

It sounds like they want their money back. Since the Rally wasn't held they shouldn't have to pay for sponsorship. They may be using his comments as an excuse. The article states the sponsorship was for overseas and not for NASCAR events.
