the team's fourth in as many years, and fielded Toyota's for the season. Gordon ran 35 of the 36 races, with David Gilliland running at Richmond, finishing 24th. Robby Gordon's greatest finish on an oval track for a long time and his greatest finish for 2009 came at Charlotte in the Coca-Cola 600. There under caution he was trying to decide whether or not to make a bet to stay out for the rain that soaked up the track. He made the bet but David Reutimann and Ryan Newman made last second decisions to stay out. When the race was called official minutes later, Robby Gordon ended up in third place. Had David Reutimann and Ryan Newman pitted before the red flag, Robby Gordon would have won the race. The team ended the season 34th in owners points. Sponsors included Jim Beam, Menards, Camping World, and Freightliner, among others. A second RGM team, the No. 04, debuted for the first time in 2009, with P. J. Jones finishing 43rd at Infineon and 41st at Watkins Glen. David Gilliland attempted the race at Kansas, but failed to qualify for the event. 2010 For 2010, Robby Gordon Motorsports aligned with BAM Racing and continued with Toyota. Starting with the 2010 Daytona 500, Robby Gordon Motorsports expanded its partnership with Monster Energy Drink to include sponsorship in some Sprint Cup events. RGM's alliance with BAM Racing was to allow BAM Racing's sponsor Warner Music Nashville to sponsor Robby Gordon's No. 7 Camry starting at California as well as the events at Atlanta and Bristol. They also planned to field the BAM Racing No. 49 Toyota for a number of races out of the RGM shop. For the first half of 2010, the team had floated in and out of the Top 35. At the 2010 Gillette Fusion ProGlide 500, the team had its first DNQ since 2005, with Ted Musgrave driving. A major penalty by another team moved the No. 7 back into the top 35. The Toyota/Save Mart 350 proved to be the best race in 2010 for Robby Gordon Motorsports, Gordon finished second in the race and a second RGM entry, the No. 07 car driven by P. J. Jones, qualified and finished 41st. Former series champion Bobby Labonte drove at New Hampshire. Robby Gordon made his return to Montreal, for the first time since his controversial run in 2007, in
