Robby Gordon, a fantastic NASCAR CAR DRIVER, was taking time off in-between his season to do some alternative driving. So, instead of vacationing in the bajamas or relaxing on the coast of Cali, he decides to jump behind the wheel of a Volkswagen Touareg and drive 5,500 miles in the Dakar Rally.This kind of off-road racing isn't for the sissy-la-la kind of guy. If you get stuck, you don't have your pit crew to call upon...you have to jump out of your heep of metal and fix it yourself or your finishing last. Gordon finished 12th after battling back from being 101st place.
