For the newbie fans out there, Robby Gordon might be a new name, but for ardent fans of the sport, Gordon is the embodiment of perseverance and resilience. Much like the great Tony Stewart, Gordon also is a man of many talents and his auto racing career is one of many episodes. Over the years, he has competed in a plethora of motorsports promotions including  NASCAR, CART, the IndyCar Series, the Trans-Am Series, IMSA, IROC, and the infamous Dakar Rally.

While his NASCAR career including his 19 seasons in the Cup Series did not materialize the way many anticipated or the driver expected, his success in rally stages and off-road courses have earned him quite a solid reputation on the world stage as he became the first American to win a stage in Dakar Rally in their car division back in 2005.

Though he only has 3 wins coming off of 396 starts in the Cup Series with his last win coming at Watkins Glen road course back in 2003, his NASCAR return is certain to catch some eyeballs, especially if the 54-year-old makes his comeback in a road course. Currently, the excitement is amped up high as Gordon’s former mechanic dropped a major bombshell about the driver’s return with his recent revelation – “So you want a fun fact that make his fans smile and so on…. Robby isn’t done with Nascar or Indycar as well lol recent talk with him. Few weeks ago. Tho if he returned it would be for Indy 500 and for road courses in NASCAR top series.”

The driver’s confidant shared even more details about the driver’s future racing aspirations!
