I am almost laughing too hard to type this entry. Robby Gordon has given Marcos Ambrose a car of his to drive at the Cup race at Watkins Glen this weekend.

Of course, this is all after Gordon was fined and put on probation for intentionally spinning Ambrose in the Busch race in Montreal last weekend. Ambrose will make his Cup debut driving the No. 77 car owned by Gordon.

"There are a couple of reasons why I'm doing this," Gordon told The Sporting News on Tuesday. "The first reason is that it's unfortunate that Marcos got put in a position in Montreal where I was thinking, 'OK, if I'm not going to win, he's not going to win.' "

When I think of the race coming up ... any driver who is in front of him at Watkins Glen will be wondering, "What is Robby Gordon thinking right now?" But now that I say that ... what's new? I am sure that thought runs through every driver's head at every race that he is in.

Here's the full release from yesterday.

Here's Robby Gordon's statement that was posted on robbygordon.com.
