Balap off-road
Gordon, the son of off-road racer "Steel Bob" Gordon, started competing in off road racing. He won five successive SCORE Off-road international championships from 1986-1990, the sixth championship in 1996, and the seventh championship in 2009. Gordon also won two championships in the Mickey Thompson stadium series, three Steel 500 in 1989, 1990, and 2005, and three Steel 1000 in 1987, 1989, and 2006.
Gordon continued to race off-road throughout his career at Champ Car and NASCAR. 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 to win a stage in the car division. He won two stages in total and finished the 12th division. In 2006, Gordon took part in the Dakar Rally in Hummer H3. The US Dakar team did well until 9, when the damaged radiator caused late arrival at Atar, Mauritania, and subsequent disqualification. Gordon and co-driver Andy McMillin won the trophy truck class at Baja 1000 2006, finishing second overall in the race. After that, Gordon competed in his third Dakar Rally in 2007, pushing Monster Energy Hummer H3 for the Dakar Team USA. He finished in 8th position, his best finish in this race. His current trophy truck sponsorship is Speed ​​Energy and piloted his Monster Energy truck at the 2007 Steel 500 with a second overall finish. Gordon's sisters Beccy Gordon and Robyn Gordon competed in Baja 1000 2006 on the all-female all-female Girl Racing team.
Gordon raced in several Traxxas TORC Series events, including the AMSOIL Cup World Cup 2010 races at Crandon International Off-Road Raceway. He leads the first round of the race before retiring with mechanical difficulties.
Gordon ranked 3rd in the 2009 Dakar Rally in South America, where the show was moved after a terrorist threat led to the cancellation of the event in 2008. He finished 8th in the 2010 Dakar Rally in South America with his Monster Energy truck. He was removed from the 2012 edition after stage 10 for his illegal engine modifications.
Super Truck Stadium
In June 2012, Gordon announced that he founded and owns his own stadium truck racing series, titled Super Trucks Stadium, based on the concept of a stadium truck racing developed by Mickey Thompson. The series runs its first season in 2013.
Many racers who are affiliated with the NASCAR Cup Cup team are closed like P. J. Jones for example, following Gordon to race on the Super Truck. Gordon himself would be the owner-driver.
Gordon won the first Super Truck Stadium championship in 2013, with seven points after a year-round battle with former Mickey Thompson Off-Road teammate Rob MacCachren.
The Gordon Series was renamed Speed ​​Energy Energy's Start-Road in 2014. He won the second championship of the year with six wins and a 75-point lead over Sheldon Creed.
Since 2015, the series has started overseas expansion, organizing races in Australia at the Adelaide 500. Later that year, Gordon also participated in the Goodwood Festival of Speed ​​in the UK.
In June 2017, the night after the Formula Off-Road race at Hidden Valley Raceway in Darwin Australia, Northern Territory, Gordon took the truck to a local nightclub and started donating. A day later, he was summoned to court for violating anti-hooning laws of the city and fined $ 4,150 after pleading guilty to four traffic allegations. Gordon defended his actions, stating that he had asked the security guard if allowed, which they agreed to. The Australian Motor Sport Confederation (CAMS) then revokes Gordon's visa for future events, without limitation banning him from racing in Australia. Four months later, Gordon issued an apology to the CAMS and donated $ 10,000 to the Australian Road Safety Foundation, which resulted in the ban on his visa being revoked.

IMSA
In 1990, Gordon started a sports car racing. He won races in Trans-Am and IMSA Camel GT, where he had four consecutive class wins in 24 Hours of Daytona from 1990-1994, and three consecutive 12 Hours of Sebring wins.
Open wheel racing
Gordon's first start in the IndyCar CART series came in 1992. His first full season and starting Indy 500 would come in 1993. He ran for Derrick Walker from 1994-96. With Walker, he earned his first career pole in 1994 (Toronto), and his career victory at CART in 1995 (Phoenix and Detroit). For 1999, Gordon lowered his own team in the series with little success because the power of Toyota that the team used was still below performance.
Gordon shot 10 times in Indy 500 from 1993 to 2004 in his own team in 1999, 2000 and 2004. He, along with John Andretti, Tony Stewart, and Kurt Busch were the only four riders competing in Coca-Cola 600 and Indy 500 in the same day. In 1999, Gordon came in one round winning the Indianapolis 500. He inherited the leadership by not stopping for the final pit stop and trying to save enough fuel to last until the end of the race. His fuel runs out which came out of the 3 turns on the last lap and he had to give up the lead to Sweden's Kenny BrÃÆ'¤ck.
During his time at the open wheel, Gordon earned a reputation as a tough and sometimes overly aggressive racer. According to Gordon, his decision to leave the open wheel was largely based on security issues.
Car stock
Gordon made his debut in stock car racing in November 1990 at Atlanta Motor Speedway, driving for Junie Donlavey in the season finale of the Racing Club of America car race; he completed 21, but turned around by winning the pole for the event.
NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series
Winston Gordon's Cup debut came in 1991, riding two races, including the Daytona 500 for Junie Donlavey at Ford No. 1. 90. In 1993, Gordon drove Ford No. 28 Texaco sponsored for Robert Yates Racing at Talladega in the team's first race after the death of driver Davey Allison. In 1994 Gordon rode in a race for Michael Kranefuss to start and finish 38 in Michigan. In 1996, Gordon rode in Charlotte in what was one of the first to start for Dale Earnhardt, Inc. He also competed in Rockingham and Phoenix for Felix Sabates. The first full-time Gordon trip came in 1997 with Tim SABCO belonging to Felix Sabates. Gordon ran on 22 starting with SABCO, and caught a pole in Atlanta. He also finished fourth in Watkins Glen, the only top 10 at the end of the year. He returned to NASCAR on a full-time basis in 2000, trying to run his own team. Again, the results are disappointing; he failed to qualify for several races and finished with just two Top 10 in 17 starts.
Gordon started the 2001 season for Morgan-McClure Motorsports at Chevrolet No. 4 Kodak were sponsored, but were replaced by Kevin Lepage after just five races. Gordon returned to racing in a one-off deal with Ultra Motorsports, where he replaced regular driver Mike Wallace's team at the No. Ford. 7 sponsored NationRent for the June race at Sears Point. Gordon led the race near the end, but was endorsed by Tony Stewart, as Gordon repeatedly struggled to keep the tucked Kevin Harvick, who gave Stewart a chance to overtake Gordon and win the race.
Later in the same season, he joined Richard Childress Racing as a replacement for an injured Mike Skinner. At the end of the rescheduled season in New Hampshire, Gordon was involved in a closing-lap battle with eventual champion Jeff Gordon (no relationship). With 16 laps to go, leader Jeff Gordon (who eventually led 257 of the 300 laps) was stuck behind 12th place No. 77 Robert Pressley's car tried to stay on the main lap, with Robby right on his tail. In the middle of the three and four bends, Robby gave Jeff a lump as he slowed to try and bypass Mike Wallace's caught car, send it to No. 12 Wallace car and inflict damage to 24 cars. Jeff was marked black when trying to retaliate carefully, and Robby went on to earn his first controversial career victory. The race, originally scheduled for September, was postponed after the September 11 attacks, and after Gordon's event announced he would donate all his victories to the victims of the 9/11 attacks.
Gordon continued to race for Richard Childress Racing in 2002. He crashed at Daytona 500 and had a series of bad endings in the spring. He performed well in Sonoma and led most laps at Watkins Glen with 21 and finished third. He performed Top 10 on Bank of America 500 but crashed in a 10-car-pileup that also garnered teammates Jeff Green and Kevin Harvick. Gordon finished 20th in the championship standings,
In 2003, Gordon broke and compiled his best season statistically. He finished sixth place in Daytona 500 and finished 10th in Aaron 499. Then he earned his first road win at Infineon Raceway, after a controversial but legal pass under the caution of his team-mate, Kevin Harvick. Gordon earned his third career victory at the end of the year at Watkins Glen. He, Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch are the only riders to win both roads (Infineon Raceway and Watkins Glen) in a season since they are part of the current Sprint Cup schedule.
In the summer of 2004, Gordon signaled the desire to leave the No. team. 31 for his poor season. Although Richard Childress asked Gordon to remain in RCR, Gordon announced in late 2004 that he would operate Robby Gordon Motorsports Nextel Cup team himself. Childress initially refused to let Gordon go but when Roush Fenway Racing fired Jeff Burton, Childress released Gordon and hired Burton as a substitute.
For 2005, Gordon moved his Busch Series team to the Nextel Cup, and the only owner/driver left. Gordon's main sponsor is Jim Beam Bourbon; the head of his crew is Greg Erwin. Fruit of the Loom was the main sponsor for nine races in the 2005 season. His friend, John Menard, owns a hardware company, Menards also sponsors, as well as Harrah. Gordon again struggled as owner/driver, finishing only with twenty-ten at the start and failing to qualify for multiple races.
In 2006, Gordon's team used machines from Dale Earnhardt, Inc., and showed little improvement over the previous year's performance during the first few races. He performed well in Sonoma and Watkins Glen, qualifying and finishing in the top 10 in both races. For the 2007 season, Gordon switched to Ford Fusion, with engines supplied from Roush-Yates. He has two Top 10 and completed 26 points.
On February 1, 2008, Gordon said he would go to Dodge in 2008, marking the 4th change in a few years. He also announced a technical service, manufacturing and marketing agreement with Gillett Evernham Motorsports. After dropping to 33th place, Gordon announced it would run Toyota in 2009, which would be the 5th change in a few years.
Gordon competed in fewer races in 2010, as Jim Beam did not renew his contract. The team finished in the 34th position of 2009 owner of the standings. In January 2010, Gordon formed an alliance with BAM Racing, his sixth change in six years. In 2010, with Ted Musgrave driving, his team failed to qualify at Pocono, the first time since the 2005 race in Texas. He performed well in Sonoma at Toyota Save Mart 350 and finished second in Jimmie Johnson, who earned a part-time sponsor for RGM. Punishments involving another team move No. 7 back to Top 35. Due to commitment in Argentina, Bobby Labonte drove No. 1. 7 at the Loudon. P. J. Jones and Kevin Conway also distributed no. 7; Gordon entered the No. 1 car. 07 for a number of races.
He earned sponsorship to compete in Daytona 500 2012, but poor performance resulted in Gordon racing only in Phoenix and a road race in Sonoma. He failed to qualify for the season's early races in Las Vegas and Fontana.
In 2012, Gordon announced the crisis of money sponsors. Robby Gordon Motorsports is facing bankruptcy in connection with NASCAR operations due to a poor settlement. As a result, he is only racing on a road show at NASCAR for 2012, but when he has a bad ending in the NASCAR Gordon race ends in 2013 because he can not attract sponsors for other NASCAR seasons. Number 7 is taken by Dave Blaney from Tommy Baldwin Racing.
In 2013, Gordon officially closed down RGM's NASCAR headquarters in Charlotte to form the Super Truck Stadium series.
National Series
Gordon's first Busch Series experience came in 2001 when he ran 3 races for Richard Childress Racing in No. 1. 21 Rockwell Automation Chevrolet. His best performance was the 5th at Watkins Glen International.
In 2004 Gordon started himself then the Busch Series team, Robby Gordon Motorsports, drove in 25 NBS races and earned one victory coming at Richmond in his new car No. 1. 55 Chevy. From 2004-2010 drivers have been encouraged to Robby Gordon Motorsports including PJ Jones, Bobby Labonte, David Gilliland, Kevin Conway, Scott Wimmer, Reed Sorenson and Johnny Sauter.
He participated in several Busch races in 2006, including some for the Dale Earnhardt Jr. National team. (JR Motorsports). The most notable highlight of the season was second place finish at Watkins Glen on 12 August. Driving a Chevy No. 7, Gordon went door-to-door with Kurt Busch, the No. 1 car driver. 39 for South Racing Penske, for the last few rounds. Gordon gained ground in the chicane, almost catching Busch. The two cars went wildly to the grass and dirt, almost mutually destructive. Gordon was able to save his car, as Busch went straight to the final to win the race. While interviewed on the Busch winning lane Gordon gave praise for the big race and said it reminded him of the race with Ricky Craven at Darlington in 2003.
In 2007 Gordon had only a few top tens in the NBS and was close to winning in Montreal before being disqualified by NASCAR for ignoring a penalty. He went further in trouble when he reacted to a penalty by accidentally bumping into Marcos Ambrose to avenge his previous crash - a move that denied Ambrose (who dominated the race) won and made Gordon suspended from the Sprint Cup Race at Pocono the next day. A reserve driver and one of Gordon's friends, P. J. Jones took over for Gordon for his suspension. Gordon, to make up for the incident, gave Ambrose a free race for RGM at Watkins Glen International next week to start his first Sprint Cup but because of the rain, Ambrose did not qualify. Gordon, his sponsors and fans said today that he won the NAPA 200 in 2007 but still received a penalty. In 2010, Gordon announced that he made himself a banner and an emergency trophy similar to the NAPA 200 trophy that said he won the NAPA 200 in 2007 and when asked by reporters about how he would recover in the Montreal race of 2010 Gordon laughed and said " You because I won? We still have banners hanging on our wall We come back for redemption, and we will do the best job we can. "
On March 28, 2008, Gordon and Team Dodge No. 22 Supercuts of Fitz Motorsports joined for a part-time schedule at the NASCAR Nationwide Series after driver Mike Bliss left the team to drive a Chevrolet No. 1. 1 belongs to James Finch. In a press release, Gordon is scheduled to drive both the Phoenix series and the Texas Nationwide Series in No. 1 car. 22.
Gordon drove No. 55 Mapei/Menard Dodge in the Chicagoland Contest in July. He also started the Watkins Glen race at No. 55 Jim Beam Dodge in 2nd position and finished in 19th position.
In 2009 he drove the No. car. 55 Hard-Rock Hotel in the Watkins Glen Nationwide race. Beginning on the 3rd of him briefly in a fight to win until he caught up with Joey Logano with 7 laps to go. She finished on the 14th.
In 2010 he drove the Toyota No. 07 Menards in the Nationwide series in Montreal as part of his alliance with John Menard for RGM. This is the first time since 2007 that he was driving in Montreal due to his quarrel with Marcos Ambrose (see below) for making the mistake of missing the next race on the track. He dominated the last 20 rounds of the race but ran out of fuel with two laps to hand victory to fellow veteran Boris Said and produced the top 20 at the finish.
In 2011 he drove the No. car. 77 Mapei in Montreal. He led 5 laps but was damaged due to engine failure, finishing the 31st.

Gordon has run 4 career Craftsman Truck Series races with one top-5 and 2 top-10 finishes. He has run for SABCO, Bobby Hamilton Racing, and Morgan-Dollar Motorsports.
Other races
Gordon competed twice in the Race of Champions, first in 2001 in Gran Canaria, where he broke lap time records. In 2014, Gordon competes in the State Cup for the American Team along with World Touring Car 2014 champion, JosÃÆ'Â © MarÃÆ'a LÃÆ'³pez.
Controversy
In 2001 New Hampshire 300, the race was postponed due to the 9/11 attacks and Jeff Gordon won the 2001 Cup championship the previous week in Atlanta. The race was held around Thanksgiving in 2001 and Gordon drove the No. 1 car. 31 Richard Childress Racing, after Mike Skinner chose to retire from RCR after he was nearly killed in an accident in the previous race, won his first race in the Cup series after an incident with Jeff Gordon: with 16 laps to go Jeff led and hopes to make his lead more points big in the inevitable margin against Tony Stewart by winning the race but Robby at No. 31 drove to second place and made little contact, freeing Jeff Gordon, and therefore gave Robby an edge. Jeff gets angry and rushes to Robby under caution and responds by trying to cut Robby's tire but dressed in black before he can make a second attempt to reach the No. 1 tire. 31. Jeff served one lap, still won the championship and managed to race in the middle of the pack. Jeff will eventually return to the order of 15. Robby on the final restart withdrew from Sterling Marlin and won the first trophy race and the first win of an oval in the NASCAR Cup series. This victory gave Robby the car no. 31 RCR for a multi-year contract after 2001. Jeff when interviewed stated that he should not be punished and reply to Robby that he should be ashamed of winning in the finished way is; Robby said in reply that Jeff "should be ashamed of replying as he did." Robby then promised to donate all of his victory money by division to the families of the victims of 11 September. (35)
In 2003 Dodge/Save Mart 350, Gordon was so excited to try his second trophy win at RCR No. 1. 31 RCR. Before the race, Gordon vomited for food poisoning but still ending Jeff Gordon's dominance in Sonoma for 6 years by dominating the race. Coming cautiously with 38 laps to go, Robby Gordon takes advantage of his teammate and friend, Kevin Harvick by passing Harvick in turn 11 under caution and on the last lap able to hold Jeff Gordon to his second trophy win at No. 31 team RCR and his first trophy win on the pitch. Harvick finally finished the 3rd. His escape under warning was laughed at by Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick and several other drivers because while permission was legitimate, it was considered "inappropriate". However, NASCAR declared Robby Gordon the winner and in response to the ridicule he received from Jeff Gordon, NASCAR and Robby fans said, "He won a lot of this stuff, and I do not think he likes it when others bombard the parade." This comment caused NASCAR giving Robby Gordon and Jeff Gordon a warning to resolve their differences.
During the 2005 Daytona 500, NASCAR penalized 10 racing teams. Team No. 7 The new Gordon was among them. The Bob Temple crew was fined $ 50,000 and Robby was cut from 25 drivers & amp; the owner of points for illegal installations not approved in his car. With no point owner to fall back, because his team is brand new, Gordon did not qualify for the Daytona 500 2005 due to a penalty.
During 2005 running Sylvania 300, Gordon was involved in an accident with Michael Waltrip, driver of NAPA Chevrolet No. 15. Angry Gordon gets out of his car and throws his helmet into No. car. 15 as it passes. Tony Stewart No. 20 lost the helmet just seconds after crashing into Waltrip's car. When TNT interviewed him about the accident, he stated, "You know Michael, everybody thinks Michael is a good guy, he's not such a good guy as he is, be careful coming out and he's crushing me and he's a bastard." TNT apologized for his language, and Gordon apologized after the race, but Gordon was fined $ 50,000 and docked 50 driver points. When asked by some for a helmet, Gordon decides to auction off for the benefit of the Harrah Employee Assistance Fund, a grant that provides assistance to Harrah employees who were replaced by Hurricane Katrina. Helmet taken $ 51,100, and purchased by GoldenPalace.com.
During the 2006 Bass Pro Shops 500, he brings controversy with allegedly throwing a roll bar padding onto a track at Atlanta Motor Speedway, drawing a warning flag that has a significant impact to the end of the race, especially drivers on the pit road, especially NEXTEL Cup Winner Jeff Burton who eventually finished 13th. The video of the race was not conclusive if he really put the debris on the track but NASCAR reacted by closing Gordon 50 points (each in the Driver and Car Owner category) and a $ 15,000 fine. Gordon denied that he deliberately threw the debris.
During the inauguration of the NAPA Auto Parts 200 at the Gilles Villeneuve Circuit in 2007, Gordon was involved in a row at the circuit with fellow driver Marcos Ambrose. Gordon passed Ambrose to lead at the same time as a multi-car car accident happened behind them; Ambrose turned him, under the yellow flag, to retrieve it a moment later. After a very long delay in sorting out fields to restart, NASCAR finally determined that Gordon would restart at 13th position. Gordon, who had a strong race all day, refused to go to that position, and became black after the restart, and after turning Ambrose. Gordon did not come for his sentence and then was given a black flag with a diagonal white cross, which meant that the next round was no longer judged. As a result, he finished 18. After the race, Gordon went on to do the burnouts in front straight away as if celebrating his victory, along with the winner of the Kevin Harvick race. He announced in a post-race interview that he would appeal the outcome of the race. However, NASCAR suspended Gordon for the following race at Pocono. In a statement released shortly after the NASCAR announcement, Gordon apologized for his actions but maintained that NASCAR made a mistake by telling him to line up in 13th place.
Gordon docked 100 drivers and owner points as a result of violation of the rules during Speedweeks in 2008 in Daytona. Gordon's car was found with an unapproved front bumper cover. Frank Kerr's crew chief was suspended for 6 weeks until 9 April 2008, fined $ 100,000, and placed on probation until 31 December 2008. Gordon is not fined. Gordon appealed a penalty issued by NASCAR in February 2008. Gordon issued a press statement. "This is an innocent mistake made by someone even in our racing team they accidentally sent us a new Dodge nose that NASCAR has not approved yet." According to Dodge NASCAR's nose Gordon says Charger, but is actually Avenger and has an approved nasal passage. On March 5, 2008, the National Stock Exchange Car Revenue Commission returned the missing points in a penalty and canceled the suspension of the Crew Kerr Chief. In their decision, the commission also increased the fine up to $ 150,000.
Gordon's off-road finishing is also a source of controversy. His second place in San Felipe 250, March 2009, was overshadowed by accusations that in a very remote area he was completely off track and down the cliff. Maneuvers let him through the difficult part of the course, progressing from another competitor without passing, and is a four-mile shortcut. Truck Cup contender Ed Herbst protested, backed up by evidence from a pit crew known as Baja Fools who had set up a pit stop in the course. On investigation, two sets of Toyo wheel tracks (identical to those on Gordon's truck) were found that set a shortcut for four miles. The protests were rejected based on the fact that with Gordon's average speed, a four-mile shortcut would not change results. After initially appealing the decision, Herbst, who shared the sponsorship with Gordon, chose to appeal and the result was deemed final.
Likewise, Gordon was originally declared the winner of Baja 500 2009 on June 6, 2009. However, he was stripped of the title and moved into seventh place after it was determined that he broke two rules: one refueling offense, another violating the speed of the highway. A total of 100 minutes of punishment is assessed: 90 minutes for a more serious refueling violation in which an amateur video proves that he illegally receives fuel on the highway, and 10 minutes for speed violations.
Gordon's problems with NASCAR rules continued in 2009. He was caught with excessive toes (wheel angle to car) after May 27, 2009 Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. This illegal adjustment allows the car to bring more speed into the bend. Gordon docked 50 points and his crew chief was fined $ 50,000. Gordon chose not to appeal the violation.
In 2010, Gordon's car had and the drive was found to have an illegal passage during inspection on May 7, 2010 before racing at Darlington Raceway. Gordon docked 25 owner points and 25 driver points. The head of the crew, Samuel Stanley was fined $ 25,000 and placed on probation NASCAR for the rest of the year. This fine brings Gordon's five-year total to $ 290,000 paid to NASCAR.
On March 4, 2011, Gordon was placed on an unlimited trial period at NASCAR due to a fight he had with driver Kevin Conway in the garage area the night before. According to published reports, the two were involved in a fight because each lawsuit had been filed against the other. Las Vegas Police confirmed that Conway filed a criminal complaint charging Gordon with a minor infraction battery.
On August 25, 2011, Danica Patrick officially announced his plans to leave the IndyCar Series for the race at NASCAR and expressed his hope that he would retain the number 7 he had during his motor sport career. Gordon, who has been running under a lot of numbers but has numbered 7 over the past six years, refused to give out a number, stating: "Why me?"
After the Bristol race in August 2011, Gordon admits that he is now a "start and park" driver and will do so for much of the rest of the season. "Start and park" is a controversial practice in which a racer starts the race but then immediately parks his car, collects last place money prize and protects his car from every incident on the track. In Bristol, Gordon completed only 10 laps but pocketed $ 85,960.
Ironically, in 2012, Gordon defeated past champion Terry Labonte to "start and park" after 12 laps in the Daytona 500 qualifying race. As past champions whose team did not top 35 in 2011, Labonte is guaranteed early regardless of how he finished. Gordon states: "That's not true. Why ride free when we all have to hold our butts to get into the 500?" Labonte replies that his team only has one car and they need it for the race. Labonte ran full, leading three laps and finishing 18, while Gordon retired after 25 laps and finished 41st.
The controversy continues to disrupt Gordon in 2012. While participating in the Dakar Rally, Gordon ran a strong second after nine stages before being disqualified after the board decided that the tire inflation system on his Hummer was illegal after another competitor made an anonymous suggestion to the inspector's technicians along the rally route, where it is questionable. Gordon states that if there is a problem with the system, he will install it and still win the stages. He did so the next day, winning the stage more than 15 minutes in front of the second-place finisher.
Gordon was allowed to continue while the verdict was submitted to the French Automobile Federation of Sports (FFSA). Appeals rejected two months later. After Gordon's disqualification, he was struck out of the race.
Hummer Gordon fell and rolled on the Peruvian dunes on the second stage of the rally (01/14/2012), but was back on the wheels by the audience and Gordon went on to 10th place from the stage. He then won the final stage the next day, completing the 5th place rally as a whole.
Personal life
Son Gordon, Max, is also an off-road driver. By 2016, the eight-year-old Max competed at UTV on the Bluewater Desert Challenge with Gordon as his co-driver. Max also test Super Truck Stadium in 2017.
On September 14, 2016, at about 5 pm, Gordon's father, Robert, and his wife Sharon, were found dead in their Orange County home by suicide. It was confirmed later that week after careful investigation, that it was indeed a murder-suicide. It has been verified that Robert strangled Sharon and then committed suicide. Upon hearing the news, Gordon cried in an interview. Off-Road Speed ​​Series Energy Formula from Gordon was in Orange County for a weekend race at the Sand Sports Super Show; He declared that the weekend race would go according to plan, but added that "to shift away from what happened to a completely rotten business mode." He went on to win the first race.
