What a joke. I don't think he has very many fans. Does anyone else think he is a dork of a driver when he is 50 laps down and won't allow the top 5 or 6 drivers to pass him.???

Robby Gordon has fans? The man has no class. Doesn't matter who he drives for. Yeah, he might have some talent in "other forms of racing". I wish those fans would talk him into going back to the other forms.

If Robby would keep his attitude in check, he would be able to land a top ride and do something. Imagine if he was still in the #31 car? Robby has a bad attitude and wants to do things his way, which is why he owns his own team. He is one of the best drivers out there and can pretty much drive anything with 4 wheels. I met Robby last November at Phoenix and he is a nice guy, he even signed a piece of foam padding for a fan.

Whose idea was it to get him into auto racing anyway? Anyone who can crash in the middle of the desert with no one around should not be put on a track where there are 42 other drivers!
Yeah he has won a couple of offroad races but if you look at the stats he has only finished about 22% of the offroad races he has started. Obviously he has a very dangerous wreck it or win it philosophy.
Personally I blame helicopter pilots I think that if they quit sending out helicopters to pick him up out of the desert every time he wrecks out there all by his lonesome that he wouldn't be on the race track wrecking when there’s other people around!

I think Robbie Gordon is doing pretty well better than team Red Bull and MW racing and look at the bucks they have and all the engineers trying to get them into the races and Toyota`s still falling short , Robbie is one of the last driver owners , got to hand it to him still in top 35 points .

i tried to answer this earlier,and my internet went out,so here it is again.............
i like robby gordon.i think robby has talent,more so in other forms of racing than in nascar.i think that robby's tenure in the 31 car was cut short.with a couple more years of guidence he would have won his share of races in that car.
robby is more successful in other forms of motorsports.he won the baja 1000 in 2006,he has top 10's and top 5 finishes in the IRL,notably at the 500.
he races all kinds of different types of racing vehicles.motorcycles,buggys,trucks,are just a few of the offroad vehicles he races.
i think that if he had the resources and dollars that the bigger guys like dei,hendricks,childress,and rousch do he would be more successful because he could afford to do the windtunnels,hire the good crews,have the shops and the equipment that the bigger guys do.
he is also one of the hardest racers on the circuit.he puts up with no crap from anyone else,and i like that.
here are a few links to robby's career,hope u look at them and change ur opinion of him a little bit.

Robby isn't that bad. He's a hard racer, and no matter what lap you're on, if you've pissed him off he's not going to make it easier on you. Ryan Newman races the exact same way. Quit picking on one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. Why don't you pick on a real jerk like Dale Earnhardt Jr. I've met him several times and each time he somehow made me dislike him more than I already did. He won't say hi to you, he won't even acknowledge your existence unless you meet him at some place where he's paid to act like a civil human being. I wish he would grow up and get over himself.

I am a Robby Gordon fan because he can and will race anything with four wheels. However I will agree with many that he uses poor judgement in many cases.

When I saw the heading on the main page I thought to myself "What fans?" I think a lot of people respect him as a versitile driver and one who does fairly well owning his own single-car team. But, he definately is very aggressive.
