Robby Gordon to Remain a One Man Band

Gillett Evernham Motorsports and Robby Gordon Motorsports announced Friday that the two parties have reached an agreement that resolves the issues originating from their planned merger earlier this year.

There will be no merger, and GEM's lawsuit against Gordon for alleged breach of the merger agreement has been dismissed.

It was announced after the agreement Gordon and Gillett Evernham had reached a partnership in which Gillett Evernham would offer technical and marketing support to Gordon.
