Robby Gordon skipping Dakar Rally: Robby Gordon “ who has starred in IndyCar, NASCAR, off-road racing and is also the founder of the Stadium Super Trucks Series “ will not be participating in this year’s Dakar Rally (Asuncion in Paraguay to Resistencia in Argentina). “The reason for not running Dakar is that I have been just way too busy with my other projects,” Gordon said in an email to MotorSportsTalk. “Stadium Super Trucks continues to grow, as we have a full schedule in 2017 with races on 3 continents, including 5 races in the US with IndyCar and 2 of our own Stadium Style events. In Australia we have a relationship with V8 Supercars where we have 2 events. And now we are going to China with Stadium Super Trucks for 2 events in 2017.” Gordon is also working on new projects within his Speed Energy drink, the Arctic Cat 4-wheel platform and continues development of the Gordini Dakar race cars, which will not be ready for this year’s Rally. NBCSN will carry updates on the Dakar Rally, check listings for dates/times.(NBC Sports)(1-4-2017)
