The Las Vegas Shelby Boss 302

#7 Jim Beam Toyota Pre Race Report

• What in the wide, wide, world of sports is going on here? – Just two races into this year’s Sprint Cup series, and already a number of very good teams find themselves at or near the top-35 bubble. Team Hendrick driver Dale Earnhardt Jr, - after arguably causing “the big one” at Daytona - now sits in the 35th spot, one place below Jim Beam Toyota driver Robby… Read More

Tired of all the Robby Gordon Bashing?

If you're one of Robby Gordon's fans growing weary of the public flogging he takes on occasion, you may be in the wrong place. I've taken my fair share of shots at the Sprint Cup driver, by the same token I've praised his off road racing efforts and his occasional "do-good" projects.

This is one of the later times.

Despite the inglorious ending Robby suffered in the Daytona 500 - thanks in no small part to a "Raging Bull" and some extra "Amped Energy" - the former open… Read More

Don't Dissapoint Me, O.C.

If you flip a coin 4 times and you get heads each flip, it is just a matter of time before it comes up tails. Unfortunately, that seems to be the story of Robby's 2009 500. After putting up the best finishes at speedway races last year, a shock issue relegated him to also ran status. Getting hit in the Jr. fiasco probably did not help either. For sure a dissappointing way to start the year. It will

The 500 was a dissappointment from the 7 pit and it was a dissappointment from my… Read More

Just Shoot Me

The Shootout last night provided the baby steps of a very long season, like the first tulips that rise from the frozen earth in the spring. I know that I was saddled up to the TV last night with my other racing buddies and pounded some hotdogs and Ford Dave's famous macaroni and cheese. The season is truly upon us, and there is much to be excited about. Qualifying is on in the background as I write and Truex is still on the pole. You just get the sense that the DEI/Ganassi,… Read More

2009 Dakar Rally T-4 Race Report

The Dakar Rally is in the category of “a once in a lifetime experience” and I am very lucky to now having been there twice. For a U.S. off road racer like me this event raises the bar on the professional side of things to the maximum level. I would like to personally thank Robby for having trust in my abilities and including me on his team!

Congratulations to everyone on Team Dakar USA because you all know what a team effort this is.

Please check out my race report video… Read More

Robby Gordon is a Genious...For Real

After the Homestead race, Carl got out of his car and said he wished that Daytona started the next day. Well, Daytona is upon us my friends. Qualifying is on Sunday (boooooring), and the shootout (definitively not boring) is on Saturday. The trucks are leaving in the next couple of days and we will be off and running.

Speaking of the shootout, Robby Gordon might just be a genious. Unless you have totally tuned out to all of the comings and goings in the Cup world in the last bunch of… Read More
