Tina Gordon - ARCA RE/MAX Series

ARCA RE/MAX Series

Gordon debuted in ARCA on October 20, 2001 at the Food World 300 held at the Talladega Superspeedway driving the #22 Sticks 'N' Stuff Furniture Ford. She qualified 5th and finished 10th just behind future NASCAR Sprint Cup journeyman Casey Mears.

In 2002 Gordon competed in four ARCA races, two driving the renumbered #66 Sticks 'N' Stuff Ford and two driving the #66 3M Post-it Note Ford. Driving the #66 Sticks 'N' Stuff Ford she finished 26th in the Discount Auto Parts 300 at Daytona International Speedway(Feb 10) and 12th later that year back at the Food World 300 in Talladega(Oct 5). In the #66 3M Post-it Note Ford she finished 8th in the Pork, The Other White Meat 400 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway(March 9) and 35th in the EasyCare Vehicle Services 100 at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte NC(May 18). Gordon crashed out of the EasyCare Vehicle Services 100 and suffered leg and foot injuries causing her not to race or practice until September of that year.

Without having any knowledge of Gordon's plans, it must still be noted a return by her to competing in the ARCA series must be considered highly unlikely, as drivers who have moved up to any of the NASCAR series rarely come back to ARCA racing.
