A bad weekend also for Robby Gordon on his fans. So far 2011 for Gordon it is 3 starts, 3 fails! Another DNF after a 3rd place qualifying, featuring the new Bud Light sponsor, at this BitD race. Also, a strong running at the beginning of the race for Andy McMillin
with a less stellar outcome. O-tone / Facebook Andy McMillin: “Here’s what happened. Tied on time with Rob Mac, at mile 137 on lap 2 I missed a 90 degree right hand turn on a fast road. Instead of trying to make the turn, I drove over the berm and into what I thought was open desert. Instead it was a 15 foot ditch. The Motec in our truck says we went from 93mph to 0 in a quarter of a second. I’m sore but I’ll be fine.”
Jesse Jones summary: “The race went very well, we started 7th and had to fight our way through the dust. What a dusty deal out there. Then we held our position and let the race come to us. That’s what we did the entire last year and that worked out pretty well, so this year we did the same thing. The truck worked flawless, it is brand new, we build this truck for Larry Ragland last year to pre-run the Baja 1000 in it. I never sit in this truck before, jumped in it and qualified 7th and in the race all worked out pretty well”
