About Robby Gordon
The most accomplished and versatile driver ever to compete at X Games (yes, including RallyCross), Robby Gordon has done it all, from open-wheel to NASCAR to off-road. He is perhaps most regarded for his off-road accomplishments. He’s a three-time Baja 1000 winner, four-time Baja 500 winner and the winner of nine stages on the famous Darkar Rally. An ironman, Gordon also has pulled the incredibly rare double: racing both the Indy 500 and the NASCAR Coca-Cola 600 in Charlotte, NC, on the same day. In 2013, Gordon created the SPEED Energy Formula Off-Road Series, modeled after the former Mickey Thompson Off-Road Championship where Gordon started his pro racing career as a teen.
