NASCAR driver Robby Gordon stayed busy over the weekend, completing the Dakar Rally on Saturday then flying some 6500 miles from Argentina to Nevada for the annual SCORE Laughlin Desert Challenge desert race. Gordon won last year's overall and SCORE Trophy-Truck titles but encountered wheel problems and placed sixth in this year's event.

"No, I'm not happy with my result," Gordon told the Las Vegas Review-Journal. "We came here to win."

Gordon's overall race result was ruled a "did-not-finish" due to substitute driver Steve Kendall not completing Saturday's eight laps in the required 80 minutes.

Gordon's next stop will be Daytona where he is scheduled to compete in the Daytona 500 on Feburary 14.
