Robby Gordon wins Laughlin Leap

Sprint Cup team owner/driver Robby Gordon nearly set an event-record in winning Thursday?s SCORE Laughlin Leap competition, a prelude to this weekend?s season-opening 14th Annual SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge in Laughlin, Nev. Gordon won the large truck division by sending his powerful #77 Chevy CK1500 SCORE Trophy-Truck off the six-foot dirt jump for a distance of 152 feet, 2 inches. A total of 17 of the 29 SCORE Trophy-Trucks entered in last weekend?s race competed in the optional SCORE Laughlin Leap. Gordon came close to the event record of 160? 6? set in 2004 by Mark Post and nearly topped in 2006 when Carl Renezeder won with a leap of 159? and Marty Coyne jumped his SCORE Trophy-Truck 157? in 2005.
