Off-Road Racer "Baja Bob" Murders Wife, Takes Own Life


Story out of Orange, California:

Former NASCAR driver Robby Gordon expressed disbelief Thursday as police investigated the deaths of his father and stepmother, whose bodies were found inside their Southern California home.

“I’m so sad and I can’t believe it,” the racing star told reporters near the gated house in the city of Orange where police discovered the bodies Wednesday after receiving a 911 call.

The Orange County coroner’s office identified the deceased as Robert Gordon, 68, and Sharon Gordon, 57. Their bodies were found Wednesday night. Robert Gordon died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, authorities said Thursday afternoon, while Sharon Gordon was strangled.

The younger Gordon races in an off-road series he created in 2013 called Speed Energy Formula Off-Road, following the path of his father. Known as “Baja Bob,” Robert Gordon was also an accomplished off-road racer. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
