Defending race winner Robby Gordon of Charlotte, N.C.,
charged back from early problems with the No. 71 Chevy CK1500 to place third in
the SCORE Trophy-Truck category and fifth overall among four-wheel
vehicles. Gordon had to run an early
portion of the course in the dark with just a handheld portable lamp for
vision. But the Nextel Cup team
owner/driver fought his way back to compete the event with a finishing time of
27:12:14.
"Just when you thought you couldn't top the
unusual in Baja, we topped it,” said Gordon, whose second driver was Dale
Ebberts, Canyon Lake, Calif. “When we
stopped at the first pit stop, the crew (part of the Nextel Cup crew) thought
we didn't need lights in the next section.
They were wrong. We had to borrow
a portable lamp to see. We used a
handheld portable lamp through that section (early in the race). By the time we got through that section, we
were way back with the Class 10 car. You
talk about giving one way, that's what we did today."
