#7-Robby Gordon will compete in the fourth of five SCORE International Off-Road Racing Series races, the Primm 300 in Nevada on Saturday. Gordon will drive the #77 Monster Energy / Toyo Tires Trophy Truck in the SCORE series event. Gordon and the Robby Gordon Off-Road team have been nearly flawless during the 2009 season, currently leading the Trophy Truck point standings. Gordon looks to clinch the championship this weekend, which would be his sixth Off-Road Championship and his first since 1996. This is the first time I have run a full SCORE schedule since 1996. I won the Trophy Truck Championship back then and I am confident we can do it again this year, commented Gordon.” Meanwhile, David Gilliland will take Gordon’s place in the #7 Jim Beam Camry on Saturday night at the Richmond International Speedway. California natives Gordon and Gilliland grew up with racing in their blood. Both worked in their fathers’ race shops and learned every aspect of cars from the chassis up. That knowledge will serve Gilliland well this weekend in Richmond as he works with crew chief Kirk Almquist to finely tune the #7 Jim Beam Camry for Saturday nights Chevy Rock & Roll 400. When asked about Gilliland being in the #7 this weekend Gordon stated, David did some testing for me earlier this year, and he and Kirk formed a good working relationship that will pay dividends this weekend. Hes an excellent race car driver and I am confident he will be competitive this weekend in Richmond.(RGM)(9-12-2009)
