It was exciting to have such close racing with B.J. (Baldwin) – some of the better racing we’ve ever had,” said Gordon. “We didn’t have radio communication with our team for the last 250 miles, so it was really hard which makes this win even better. Our team has learned to overcome obstacles and make the most of every situation. We gave up a bunch of time due to the communication problem because we were able to use the true navigation. Still, we just paced it and kept it smooth. I had a couple of strategies in place. But, honestly, I just cruised most of the day. Once I was the first truck on the road, I knew they had to pass me to beat me and that would be hard to do.”

Gordon has won two out of three races so far this year. After the Baja was complete he flew to the Pocono Nascar race where he didn’t do as well, finishing 31st. Maybe he should have raced the truck at Pocono?

Here is Robby Gordon at Glamis with a trophy truck… safety first!
