Robby Gordon Wins SCORE Championship

Robby Gordon Clinches Off-Road Title

Charlotte, N.C. (November 21, 2009) – Following a dominating season,
Robby Gordon and the No. 77 Monster Energy / Toyo Tires team were
named the 2009 Overall Series and Trophy Truck division Champion for
the Tecate SCORE International Off-Road Racing Series. Gordon
clinched the championship with his top-five finish in the Baja 1000 on
Saturday, November 21st.

Throughout the 2009 Tecate SCORE International Off-Road Racing season,
Gordon raced in all five events and finished in the top-ten in each
race. Additionally, Gordon actually scored two wins throughout the
five race season. The 2009 Tecate SCORE International Off-Road season
kicked off in January with the Laughlin Desert Challenge where Gordon
dominated the competition, winning the unique two-day event. Gordon
returned to victory lane following the PRIMM 300 in early September,
when he missed the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series event in Richmond, VA.

“I’m so pleased with the progress Robby Gordon Off-Road made
throughout the 2009 SCORE International Off-Road season,” commented
Gordon. “When the season began, we didn’t even know that we were
going to compete in the entire season. But after winning the Laughlin
Desert Challenge in such dominating fashion, we knew that we could
make a run for the championship. The guys did a great job continually
building and preparing the trophy truck, which made it easy to run
upfront. I’m very proud of our success. Returning to my roots to win
two of five races is great, but capturing the championship is very
exciting and rewarding. The entire Robby Gordon Off-Road team is
extremely thankful for such great sponsors. Because of the support of
Monster Energy and Toyo Tires, we have experienced great success this
season.”
