Robby Gordon is not the average racer; he is a pioneer in motorsports racing with the best of the best more than 40 weekends a year. Since 2005, the inception of Robby Gordon Motorsports (RGM), Gordon is consistently one of the most successful single car teams in NASCAR's elite Sprint Cup Series. The six-time off-road champion has become a staple on the NASCAR circuit as well as a familiar face at the Indianapolis 500 and a fan favorite competitor in the famed Dakar Rally. Between his NASCAR Cup team and his off-road team he manages more than 60 people and is respected as an absolute perfectionist. Despite all of his responsibilities, one thing for sure is Gordon never forgets to take time out for his fans.

Born in Orange, CA, Gordon found at a very young age he was drawn to anything with a motor and he began racing motorbikes at the early age of eight. Under the guidance of his father, Bob Gordon, he had many years of experience before he ever hit the racetrack. He began making a name for himself racing motorbikes and as soon as he turned 16, he jumped behind the wheel of a car and never looked back.

Gordon's most memorable moment is when he won the very first off-road race he entered, the Vegas to Reno 500. The years that followed brought Gordon six off-road championships (Five SCORE Off-Road championships 1986-1990 and one SCORE Trophy Truck title in 1996). Gordon was also a two-time champion of the Mickey Thompson Stadium series and has three Baja 1000 wins. But as much as he loved the no-holds barred spirit of off-road racing, he was eager to try other racing series. In 1990, Gordon moved to sports cars where he quickly proved himself. He won five ISMA GTO races in 1991 and won from the pole in his first SCCA Trans-Am event at Long Beach, CA in 1992. He placed in the top five, 18 out of 23 starts driving for Jack Roush. In 1993, he entered the open wheel series driving an Indy car for none other than AJ Foyt. Success after success followed in 1995 with two wins (Phoenix and Detroit) and several podium finishes in the CART series. In the Indianapolis 500, Gordon scored three top five and five top 10 finishes. He led 53 laps in just 10 starts in the Indy 500. He also had four consecutive class wins at the 24 Hours of Daytona and three consecutive wins in the 12 Hours of Sebring. 1997 marked Gordon's first of four "Double Duty" attempts that include racing the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 race the same day.

Meanwhile, Gordon became increasingly involved in NASCAR's Winston Cup series. From 1991, he drove for various Winston Cup teams until he formed his own NASCAR team in 2000, running seventeen events. After impressive performances in both 2001 NASCAR Winston Cup road races, Gordon was hired to drive for Richard Childress Racing's (RCR) No. 31 Lowe's Chevrolet to finish out the season where he got his first Winston Cup oval track top 10 and a victory at New Hampshire Motor Speedway (RCR's first victory with the 31 team). The decision to run a full Winston Cup season in 2002 landed the RCR Cingular Wireless No 31 five top-10 finishes, including a third place finish at Watkins Glen. The 2003 season proved equally exciting when Gordon went door to door with Jeff Gordon for a stunning victory at Sonoma Raceway and then won Watkins Glen to become the fourth driver to ever win both NASCAR Winston Cup road races in a single year.

In 2004, while still driving for RCR in the NASCAR Nextel Cup series, Gordon decided to start his own NASCAR Busch series team. Even though his team only entered a limited number of races, they brought home a victory at the fall Richmond race in RGM's 10th event. This early success fueled his desire to become his own boss in the NASCAR Nextel Cup series the following year.

The start of 2005 marked a new beginning for Gordon in the NASCAR Nextel Cup series where he became the owner and driver of the RGM No 7 car. The same year Gordon also added another entry into his already impressive resume as he drove for Volkswagen in perhaps the most grueling motorsports event - The Dakar Rally. Gordon loved the event so much that he immediately began planning to tackle the Dakar Rally with his own effort. In 2006, in addition to his NASCAR Nextel Cup team and winning his third Baja 1000, he entered his own Robby Gordon Off-Road (RGOR) Jim Beam/Toyo Tires Hummer H3 in the Dakar Rally. The 2007 Dakar marked Gordon as the first American to ever win a stage and he finished an impressive eighth overall. In 2008 Gordon's Team Dakar USA entered not one but two RGOR Monster Energy/Toyo Tire Hummers in the Central Europe Rally and Gordon won two specials and finished 10th overall. The second RGOR Hummer driven by BJ Baldwin finished seventh overall. 2008 also marked another first for Gordon when he entered the third annual Prelude to the Dream race at Tony Stewart's Eldora Speedway. In his first attempt to race a late model on dirt, he finished second only to Tony Stewart. The event raised over a million dollars for The Victory Junction Gang.

The 2010 season marks his sixth season as a single car owner/driver in the NASCAR Sprint Cup series. He has consistently maintained a top-35 starting position which grants him a starting position for the race each week. The RGOR Team Dakar USA Hummer had their best finish to date with a third place overall finish at the 2009 Dakar Rally in Argentina and Chile. Gordon became the 2009 SCORE Desert Series Trophy Truck Champion.

Gordon's passion for racing is evident. He is an absolute perfectionist and if you ever get the chance to get close enough to look inside one of his race cars you will see the meticulous attention to detail that he insists upon. To be associated with Robby Gordon is to be associated with adventure, opportunity, commitment and determination. He is an internationally recognized name in motorsports and one of the most diverse drivers in the world. Racing has been keeping Gordon "out of trouble" for well over 25 years and the only thing he plans on getting into anytime soon is Winner's Circle.
