ROBBY GORDON PRESS RELEASE:
CHARLOTTE, NC (May 27, 2008) - Three-time Baja 500 champion Robby Gordon will return to Ensenada, Mexico this week to power his fierce Monster Energy / Toyo Tires Hummer in the 40th Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 500, the second-oldest desert race in the world. Gordon has claimed three overall and four class wins in this race. Gordon stated, “This year we are going to the Baja 500 on a mission to not only win the race, but to gain more experience in the Monster Energy / Toyo Tires Hummer for the 2009 Dakar Rally, which is only seven months away. It will be interesting to see how the Hummer’s unrestricted 700hp engine performs. This should be a fun race and a beneficial practice run for the 2009 Dakar Rally. The more we run the Hummer, the better it gets.”
