Rumor has it that Monster will be funding a two-car Busch Series (or whatever it will be called) effort for RGM as well.
snippet:
"Monster Energy and Robby Gordon Off-Road have entered into an agreement that will team Monster Energy with Gordon’s world-wide off-road racing efforts including the famed Dakar Rally and the team’s SCORE International Trophy Truck program.
The Dakar Rally, arguably the world’s most demanding and grueling motorsports event, will start Jan. 6 in Lisbon, Portugal and end Jan. 21 in Dakar, Senegal – 6,500 miles and seven countries later. The SCORE International Off-Road series consists of six races, including the Baja 500 and the granddaddy of all off-road races the Baja 1000.
Gordon, who last month teamed to win his third Baja 1000, will drive the Monster Energy Hummer H3 in the Dakar Rally with co-driver Andy Grider and will be a co-driver in the Monster Energy Trophy Truck in the Baja 500 in June and the Baja 1000 in November. Monster Energy and a Team Gordon driver will compete for a SCORE Series championship in 2007."
snippet:
"In addition to off-road racing, when Gordon begins his third season as a NASCAR Nextel Cup Series owner/driver in the Feb. 18 Daytona 500, his highly visible racing helmet will feature a unique green and black paint scheme with Monster Energy branding. The No. 7 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series pit crew also will wear Monster Energy branded helmets, and Monster Energy will be prominently featured as an associate sponsor on the NASCAR team’s equipment and vehicles including its track-side merchandise trailer."
