Robbie Loomis, who grew up in Central Florida, filed away a career's worth of data and experience in 2000, his first year with Hendrick Motorsports and three-time Winston Cup champion Jeff Gordon. Loomis, who got his start at his local Central Florida short tracks, hopes to put the lessons learned in his first year with Gordon into play in 2000. Loomis has his eyes and ears open in 2000's "down year," and had what most other teams would consider a very successful year with three wins and three poles.
