Robby Gordon
Car: #7 car for Robby Gordon Motorsports in the Nextel CupBorn: January 2, 1969 in Bellflower, Calif.
In the family: His father, Bob, was an off-road racing legend.
Career highlights: Robby Gordon began his career in off-road racing, winning several championships.
Gordon is known for his aggressive driving style, incredible car control, and for controversy on and off the track.
- In 1990, Gordon began racing sports cars, where he had considerable success. In 1992, he began racing Indy Cars, and raced full time in the Indy Car series from 1993-1996, capturing two wins. In 1998 and 1999, Gordon fielded his own Indy team, but with limited success. He ultimately left open-wheel racing for safety concerns, claiming that Indy Cars are too fast and dangerous to run on oval tracks.
- In 1991, he made his first NASCAR Cup Series start in the Daytona 500, and ran in the serried occasionally until 1997, when he ran 22 races for Team SABCO. He returned again in 2000 and ran a half season with his own team, though his results were again disappointing.
- In 2001, he ran a few races for Morgan McClure, then signed on with Richard Childress Racing at the end of the year and won a controversial race at New Hampshire International Speedway in which he was accused of spinning out Jeff Gordon for the victory.
- In 2003, he won at Infineon Raceway after he passed his teammate, Kevin Harvick, under caution. He won again in 2003 at the series’ other road course, Watkins Glen.
- In 2004, he started his own Busch Series team, which he moved up to the Cup Series in 2005, at which time he left Richard Childress Racing. Gordon gained national attention in 2005 when he got into an on-track altercation with Michael Waltrip. After he climbed out of his wrecked vehicle, he waited for Waltrip to pass and threw his helmet at him, and then proceeded to call Waltrip a “piece of s**t” in an interview on TNT just after the crash. The helmet was later auctioned off for charity, and was purchased for $51,100 by the online casino GoldenPalace.com.
- A huge number of Robby Gordon fan sites exist out there, as he is amongst the most loved racers in NASCAR.

Robbie,
Sorry about Dakar this year. Its true and I agree that they could have put on a show for the fans and given the sponsors something for their money in the safer country's. Its a shame to bow to the terrorists and give them what they want. Why doesn't Al-Qaeda visit us here in South Carolina where 85 percent of the population carry guns ? We would the terrorist a very handsome welcome. Again I feel for the sponsors and the teams that spent the year preparing for the event. I have see the million dollar rear engine Hummer up close and it is very impressive. The cockpit and dash looks like something you would expect to see in a jumbo jet. I don't know what next year will bring, and I can't say things will be diffrent. How can one prepair for a event that has a good chance of being cancelled ? How can you get a sponsor to invest after this year ? Good luck at Daytona and I will see you in the Garage. |
