Conway joins Robby Gordon Motorsports
Cup rookie Kevin Conway will finish out the 2010 season at Robby Gordon Motorsports and will drive the No. 7 Toyota in Sunday’s race at Atlanta.
Conway’s sponsor, ExtenZe, is moving with him.
Conway has one previous start for RGM, at Bristol, Tenn., two weeks ago. He made 21 starts earlier this season with Front Row Motorsports.
Gordon, meanwhile, will compete this weekend in a Traxxas TORC series event in Wisconsin.
Nationwide owner penalized
NASCAR this week fined Nationwide Series car owner Johnny Davis $5,000 in connection with an altercation on pit road after Sunday’s race at Montreal.
Davis, owner of the No. 01 that was driven by Mike Wallace in the road course event, was also placed him on probation through the end of the year.
