Once again Robby Gordon will refuse to let the small matter of logistics spoil his racing fun as he goes for his fourth Baja 1000 victory next week.

Once again Robby Gordon will refuse to let the small matter of logistics spoil his racing fun as he goes for his fourth Baja 1000 victory next week.

Last year's Baja 1000 winner, Gordon once again will dismiss the logistical challenges of racing multiple races in various locations to try and claim his fourth win in the prestigious off-road event. After the completion of the Nextel Cup race in Phoenix on Sunday and before heading to Homestead, Miami for NASCAR's season finale, Gordon and crew will head to Ensenada in Mexico for Tuesday's running of the 40th Baja 1000, a 1296 mile event through the rugged terrain of Mexico.

On Tuesday morning, Robby Gordon and co-driver Gregg Till will start from fourth place in the Monster Energy / Toyo Tyres Trophy Truck in Ensenada. As the course progresses through the Mexico, Gordon will turn the truck over to Dale Ebberts in Catavina, about 400 miles into the race. Ebberts will race his way to San Ignatio, which is about 695 miles into the race. At this point, Gordon will return the helm of the Monster Energy / Toyo Tyres trophy truck and continue to the finish line in Cabo San Lucas.

Every year the competition in Baja gets tougher and teams look for every advantage they can get. This year Gordon's NASCAR Nextel Cup team is kicking in with almost the entire road team attending. The over the wall crew will be adding a new activity to their resumes, changing tyres on the trophy truck at various locations on the course.

"We're starting fourth, and I'm hoping to pass some guys in the pits and get an early lead," explained Gordon on his decision to utilise his Nextel Cup crew.

The almost 1300 mile race will take the better part of 20 hours to complete
