The Shenanigans of Robby Gordon

[@greyhound9960]

I was a Make-A-Wish kid in 2003 and met many of the drivers at Martinsville. Robby was one of the nicest drivers I met, he took me inside his car hauler and showed me around. Jr. was the main driver I wanted to meet and he was really cool also. However out of all the other drivers Robby was the nicest driver. He really seem to enjoy talking and showing me around.

[@FMecha]

Robby has one AOWR shenanigan: "During his time in open-wheel, Gordon earned a reputation as a tough and sometimes overly aggressive racer. According to Gordon, though his decision to leave open wheel was based largely on "safety concerns," significantly more plausible an explanation to Gordon's estrangement from top-tier opened-wheel racing in North America is directly attributable to a high profile incident during the 1996 Grand Prix of Cleveland, where Gordon was evidenced to have exited his vehicle mid-race, after a mechanical failure, and while standing atop his car, Gordon kicked the Ford Motor Company logo on live national television." EDIT: Also, another GT3 music.

[@chrish931]

You Robby had a long relationship with ford and they basically completely bank rolled his baja 1000 truck for years, then he had an engine blow in his Indycar and kicked the ford logo and the side of the car and talked trash about the engine to the pit reporter and pretty much lost a long time very lucrative sponsorship in an instant. Robby let his temper get the best of him many times.

[@davidedington5426]

My best memory of Robby Gordon is from one of the races at Indianapolis when he drove for Felix Sabates. Robby was complaining about the motor not having any power. Felix got on the radio and cussed Robby out for a good two or three laps and used enough F Bombs that a sailor would have been embarrassed. Sadly, we will never see this in a video on youtube because IF the TV recorded it, they would never play it.

@@kilpatrickja for him to be ONE OF. He would have to be at their level. HE IS NOT

[@kilpatrickja]

@@jamesgentry13 the fact he's won in everything he's raced in says you're wrong. 🤷‍♂️ Like I stated, he's one of the most talented all around drivers in the world. Now go to bed.

[@jeanlambert5613]

The dude is a legend. If it has wheels Robby will race it and probably win. NASCAR fans have no sense that other forms of racing exist

[@davidcarter2720]

Nice compilation. He's one of my favorite drivers - for all the reasons you've pointed out. Most of my favorites are simply awesome, traditionally elegant drivers ... Gurney, Donohue, Senna, Dixon, etc. But Robby's a bad boy with incredible talent and no filter ... love him for that. I wish he'd have won the Indy 500 - he had the machines and the talent to do so, particularly during "the split" ... but no. re: the Jimmy Johnson incident - he surely could have avoided Johnson - but it seemed clear that Johnson started VERY slowly for whatever reason. Was a terribly harsh penalty. I was watching the Montreal race and, although sad that he'd been properly screwed out of the win that so clearly was his up until the incident with Ambrose (caused by Ambrose) - was thrilled that he did what he did. While it's a gross misapplication of the otherwise wonderful phrase from John Lewis - that was some "good trouble" that Gordon got into on that day.

I don't think Tony Stewart was scared very often but judging by his face at 2:09 that was one of those times

[@Dratchev241]

Tony can throw down, I think the look on his face was a "well shit, here comes a $100K fine and a loss of 200 points face"

[@insertgenericusernamehere2402]

I don't watch nascar. But hearing about this dude. I love him

[@mcj88]

7:11 - personally I never got what Jeff was so mad about, he'd locked up the championship the week prior and it's not like he never won another race again, he lost literally nothing from getting dumped like that

[@TheLocalLt]

His insane level of competitiveness got him to where he is

[@ffhd1clt]

Robby is his own guy, and one of the most fun people to hang out with away from racing.

[@ithemeparkOFFICIAL]

I would love to see him run in some road courses in Nascar Cup or Xfinity and see him give the Indianapolis 500 another try.

[@ffhd1clt]

He won’t get in an Indy car again. He thinks it’s too dangerous.

[@Raffini]

@@ffhd1clt That's just an excuse for not fitting in the car.

[@JeffGordonRamsay]

@@Raffini 😂

[@JeffGordonRamsay]

Would love to see him in the srx ad well

[@bradrobertson4609]

one of my all time favorite drivers, guy can win in anything with wheels

[@BarryJowers]

Do The NASCAR Shenanigans of Jaques Villeneuve next

[@Loner2012AT]

Rob could kick Tony's ass. Great vid BFM! Pretty bold guy to turn down another season with RCR and run his own deal. Favorite clip was when he was called out for the roll bar pad deal - he looked like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar. On the Mike wreck - the next week Mikey offered a car for him to drive but he turned it down and said he'd drive his own. Before getting fired from the #4 car - Robby said "I can't drive a pig." Lol. Miss this underdog out there and hope he comes back to run some of these road races.

[@lugnutusa]

Talented guy in a lot of different types of cars, and absolutely THE nicest driver I ever met at a track. But then, I never had to race against him. :D

[@firewalker1372]

Dale E. Trying to instigate that fight between Robbie and Tony 🤣.

[@austinmonk8809]

10:26 that wasn’t Robbys fault at all. Jimmie Johnson just didn’t go fast enough while everyone else was

[@xr4ti548]

NASCAR in the 2000s was the best era. The racing, the stars, and the Robby Gordon's always made it a fun watch.
