John Story, Gordon’s general manager, confirms talks with Ford’s Jack Roush about providing engines in 2007, and Roush said he’s willing to do that. But Story said there are other irons in the fire, too.
“We’re not buying Robert Yates Racing, though that’s what the rumors have been,” Story said. “We’re still talking a couple of different manufacturers, Ford being one; we haven’t made a decision on that, but we should make a decision within two weeks.
“We’ve talked to a number of people, but at some point as the year gets later and later if we can’t put together an alliance, we’ll have to keep doing what we’re doing.”
