Robby Gordon runs the Baha every year.
And he won his class in 2006 ...
NASCAR fans will be sure to enjoy the coverage of November's legendary SCORE Baja 1000. The team of Robby Gordon and Andy McMillin captured the overall and SCORE Trophy Truck victory.
Gordon started the race and went about halfway down the peninsula before handing the truck over to McMillin, boarding a helicopter and then a jet to get to Miami for the NASCAR season finale. The duo's total time was second overall, at 19 hours, 15 minutes and 27 seconds, 54.41 mph. The win is Gordon's third in the Trophy Truck class in the Baja 1000.
This year's Baja 1000 had a race-record of 431 starters and 234 finishers from 38 states and 12 countries.

In 2005 Gordon took part in the famous 16 day Dakar Rally, driving for the Red Bull sponsored Volkswagen team. He became the first American in the history of the rally to win a stage in the car division. He won two stages in total and a 12th place division finish.
In 2006, Gordon took part in the Dakar Rally in a Hummer H3. Team Dakar USA did well until stage 9, when a damaged radiator caused late arrival at Atar, Mauritania, and subsequent disqualification.
Gordon competed in his third Dakar Rally in 2007, driving the Monster Energy Hummer H3 for Team Dakar USA. He finished in the 8th position, his best finish in this race.
