Dang if Robby Gordon didn't win himself a stage in Dakar.
Eurosport.com has much, much more, including the bestowing of the title "Nascar legend" upon Robby G. (Hint to Eurosport: I think you mean the other Gordon.)

This is why part of me always pulls for Robby Gordon even though his results are not that impressive. I just have a tremendous respect for driver versatility.

Didn't he win a stage last year or the year before? I think he was even a leader until he had problems. But maybe I'm imagining things.

Robby Gordon = legend? Obviously someone made a typo. Or had too much exhaust fumes in the brain.
When ya gonna blogroll me, John? ;) I feel so left out.

You're on there now, Lena. But I dare you to find it ... the accountants decided to stick a bunch of ads on the rail, so my links are waaaaay at the bottom.
If anyone clicks through to Lena's site, she's got a link to a USA Today piece on Junior living the life, complete with pictures of his pad in Mooresville.

Matt, I believe you are right about R. Gordon either leading the overall Dakar Rally or being near the front in the last couple of years. I know he won at Baja recently and has won both the long and short versions of Baja over the past several years.
John does this story on Jr. have pictures of him and Teresa doing things together or does Jr. own a Teresa dartboard?

Mark: If you look closely at the grass in Junior's yard, I think he had it cut to say something kind of nasty about Teresa. Or maybe the lighting was bad.
