Robby Gordon's Sprint Cup season could come to a close Sunday on the 1.99-mile road course at Sonoma.
Gordon, a driver/owner who went to 2012's first five races before keeping his cars at home because of a lack of money, said Friday that the Sonoma race is the only one he has a sponsor for the rest of the season.
"For 2012, this is probably my last event," said Gordon, who will start 34th in the Toyota/Save Mart 350. "Right now, today, we don't have anything planned past Sunday."
While he hasn't been in Cup races, Gordon has worked on starting a stadium truck series, scheduled to start in 2013. He is building all of the trucks that will compete in the events. He plans on a 10-race schedule that will include two stops in Los Angeles and San Diego. He also is examining series stops in Texas, Long Beach and Las Vegas.

But as far as his stock-car racing, Gordon said he would like to do between five and 10 races next year.
"I would do more if a deal fell on our plate," Gordon said.
Daytona and Sonoma are the races he likely will run with sponsorship from Mapei next year, he said.
Gordon, who has three Cup victories in 395 career starts, admits he doesn't watch the Cup races all the way through each weekend.
"I come here and get my [rear end] kicked, which is good or me because I'm not a good loser," Gordon said. "What we lack on when you do go away is the system, from the time the garage unlocks, how efficient you are."
