HOMESTEAD, Fla. – In these tough economic times, here comes some good news – a sponsor plans on returning to its current driver and team next year.
Jim Beam plans on returning as a primary sponsor for the majority of NASCAR Sprint Cup races with Robby Gordon next year as he visited with the company's distributors annual conference a couple of weeks ago and was introduced as the 2009 driver.
Neither side will comment until the contract is signed and becomes official.
The sponsorship should put Gordon in good shape for the 2009 season. He already had confirmed that he had renewed his sponsorship from Menards.
