Super Truck Founder Banned From Competing In Australia After Doing Donuts On A Public Road

Former Nascar driver Robby Gordon has been indefinitely banned from competing in Australia and had to go to court after doing doughnuts on a public street in his Stadium Super Truck

DONUT KING: American motorsport veteran Robby Gordon explains why he "whipped a couple of doughies" after a night out at Lizards on Mitchell Street. He's been charged and fined - his car has been seized. See the full story on 9 News at 6pm.

Stadium Super Truck racer Robby Gordon has been handed an indefinite visa ban by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS) for doing doughnuts on a public road last Saturday.

He was also fined more than $4000 (Aus) by the courts for the very unsubtle bit of hooning you see above. CAMS has condemned Gordon - who also happens to be the owner and founder the Stadium Super Trucks series - and will prevent him from getting a visa to be able to compete in Australia indefinitely.

“Such irresponsible behaviour in a racing vehicle and in an uncontrolled environment on a public road is simply inexcusable,” the CAMS statement reads, “and it has the potential to harm the reputation and integrity of our sport across all levels.”

In court, the judge said it was important to keep motorsport and public road driving separate.

“So-called ‘hoon’ behaviour is not respective of our values, and won’t be tolerated,” he said. “We are disappointed that this incident is not demonstrative of the requisite level of professionalism demanded by modern motorsport.”

And this is why I hate my government. He asked the people in charge for permission, the road was closed off for him to do so and he kept it to a minimum, now this crap happens

In Michigan on the sand dunes he’s called “F**king Robby Gordon” for this reason; he doesn’t give a damn! This is hardly his most daring stunt, haha

I understand that what the guy did was wrong, but banned forever from racing? Why not ban him for a year and warn him if he does it again THEN he’ll be banned forever

So if he had permission and closed off the street, why is it an issue? Guess that only works for ken block

He was doing stuff like this during Dakar in South America and folks were going crazy every time. Hero in South America - scapegoat in Australia.
