DOVER, Del. - With Robby Gordon in Ensenada, Mexico, for the Baja 500 off-road race Saturday, Busch Series driver Paul Menard will practice Gordon's No. 7 Nextel Cup car at Dover International Speedway.

Not coincidentally, Menards - the Midwest-based home improvement chain owned by Paul's father, John - is the sponsor of Gordon's car this weekend.

"I've obviously had an ongoing relationship with Menards Inc., and Paul's done a tremendous job," Gordon said. "[He] actually blew my doors off at Charlotte last weekend."

Gordon, a veteran off-road racer, was scheduled to fly to Mexico after Friday's final Cup practice

session, start the Baja 500 on Saturday in his Trophy Truck and finish, he hopes, in his Hummer H3 before flying back to Dover for Sunday's Neighborhood Excellence 400.
