Gordon Makes A BIG Move

March 15, 2012 (Charlotte, NC) – What is another form of racing that Robby Gordon can mark off his impressive list of racing series? If you guessed monster trucks, you guessed correctly. Robby Gordon Motorsports and SPEED Energy have formed a partnership with BIGFOOT 4x4, Inc., owner of the most well –known monster truck in the United States.


NASCAR and Off-Road racer, Robby Gordon, and BIGFOOT 4x4, Inc. have entered into a multi-year agreement beginning with the 2012 season. The addition of the monster truck, built at Gordon’s race shop in Charlotte, NC, will be the nineteenth chassis in the line-up of BIGFOOT trucks.


Gordon’s energy drink company, SPEED Energy, will be the co-primary sponsor of the monster truck. “This partnership with BIGFOOT 4x4, Inc. is a big step for our company. It opens the door to market SPEED Energy to a new demographic. Being featured as a sponsor on the truck is just one element to the relationship, we will also be selling SPEED Energy/BIGFOOT #19 diecasts, t-shirts, hats and other merchandise,” says Gordon. During the first year of the agreement the monster truck will be used primarily for display purposes. From there the truck will participate in events, with the possibility of Gordon being behind the wheel. “I’m excited about the opportunity to drive the SPEED Energy/BIGFOOT #19 monster truck. We built the truck a few years ago and we’ve played around with it, but actually competing in events would be a lot of fun,” Gordon remarks.


“We are really looking forward to teaming up with Robby and Speed Energy! Robby and Bob Chandler go back to the early days when both teams were Ford sponsored. Robby’s dynamic outlook and his racer’s mentality fit right in with the BIGFOOT way of life! Be on the lookout for a whole line of Robby Gordon’s Speed Energy/BIGFOOT #19 merchandise,” says Bob Trent, Vice President of Sponsorships & Business Development at BIGFOOT 4x4, Inc.

Yup Ford pulled Factory Support (well not really pulled, just didn't renew sponsorship) of Bigfoot a few years back in-order to put more money into the Blue Thunder truck that Feld owns.

A couple years ago Bigfoot was bodied/engined up as a Chevy for a co-promotion with the MLB too so it's not like it's always only ever been a Ford.

HUMMER RC PLEASE. I'm tired of avoiding those RC guys at the mall in Cheyenne, "When's the Hummer coming out? When's the Hummer coming out? When's the Hummer coming out? When's the Hummer coming out? When's the Hummer coming out?........."

I think this is going to be huge for both speed energy and Bigfoot. Been a really big fan for both for a long time it's great to see them coming together. 
I cannot wait to see what they come up with in terms of merchandise, diecast, RC trucks, everything. I would love to see a traxxas truck of the hummer and this monster truck. Is what we see a final product Kevin or are we still on the rendering stages for a wrap?

I know this would be a great opportunity for Brett , Bigfoot and Robby/SPEED since Traxxas already has Monster Jam covered , why not get Crawford in on it and run the regular shows Bigfoot already does . 4 wheel jamboree etc .
