2019 Robby Gordon Headquarters
Robby Gordon Looks To Pad Score Lead
Robby Gordon has opted to race Saturday in Primm instead of in the NASCAR Sprint Cup event at Richmond, Va.
Gordon, who owns and drives the No. 7 Toyota in the Cup series, decided last week to skip Richmond to race in the Terrible’s Primm 300 as the SCORE Desert Series overall and Trophy-Truck points leader.
At Richmond, David Gilliland will sub for Gordon, who is 33rd in driver points and 34th in the owners standings.
Gordon won January’s SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge and finished second in the Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250 in March.
It’s been a busy and eventful two weeks for Gordon.
After suffering minor injuries a week ago while testing in the Arizona desert, he placed sixth last Saturday in The Off Road Championship series in Crandon, Wis., and 16th Sunday in the Cup race at Atlanta.
On Wednesday, Gordon placed 18th out of 23 cars at Ohio’s Eldora Speedway in the Prelude to the Dream dirt-track race, won by event promoter and track owner Tony Stewart.
Another late entry into the Primm race is Las Vegan Rob MacCachren, who will drive solo in a Trophy-Truck owned by MasterCraft. MacCachren had been the co-driver this season with Mark Post, who withdrew from the Primm race a week ago.
Racing for most SCORE sportsmen classes begins at 6 a.m. and the premier Trophy-Trucks and Class 1 will leave the starting line at 1 p.m. behind Buffalo Bill’s off Interstate 15.

...and finished somewhere between 7th and 1st in the Baja 500.
;-) Funny the writer chose not to even mention that race - he must be as confused as everyone else.

There is no confusion, SCORE needs a points chase. In order to keep a big name (Robby) in the race at Primm, they had to keep the points chase close. Vince McMahon couldn't have drawn it up better himself.
