Gordon garners Primm win on Toyo tires

Robby Gordon has taken the checkered flag in the 14th Annual SCORE Terrible’s Primm 300 race in Nevada while running on Toyo tires.

Gordon’s No. 77 Monster Energy/Toyo Tires /Polaris Chevy CK1500 trophy truck is equipped with 39X13.50R17 Open Country M/T-R tires, which have contributed to a 2009 SCORE winning streak that includes two victories plus second- and seventh-place finishes over four races, according to Stan Chen, Toyo’s manager of events and motorsports.

“This win was especially impressive as Gordon is still recovering from injuries sustained during a high-speed testing crash with his Hummer H3 racer only a few weeks prior,” Chen reports. “He endured the challenging 276-mile race, covering the four lap course in 4 hours, 49 minutes and 18 seconds for an average speed of 57.24 miles per hour and a margin of victory of 1 minute, 2 seconds,” Chen points out.

The Primm event “was the perfect time to be running on Toyo tires,” Gordon recounts. “If I would have had to get out to change a tire, it would have cost us the win,” he explains.

“Toyo has changed the game in off-road racing with no flat tires, and I’m proud to be associated with them,” Gordon observes. “We had another perfect race, and winning another off road race is a testament to my team and all of the equipment that is supplied to us by outside vendors.”
