Robby Gordon's first taste of Winston Cup came in 1991, when he drove for Junie Donlavey in the Daytona 500. He then drove the No. 28 Ford for Robert Yates Racing in that team's first race following Davey Allison's death in 1993.

Gordon made single starts for Kranefuss-Haas and Dale Earnhardt Inc. before signing on with Felix Sabates in 1996, running 22 races with that team over the next two years, winning the pole at Atlanta and posting a best finish of fourth at Watkins Glen.

Then after one race with Buz McCall in 1998, Gordon formed his own Winston Cup team in 2000, running 17 races and earning a 43rd-place finish in the overall standings. He finished fourth at Watkins Glen and ninth at Sears Point. He started the 2001 season with Morgan-McClure Motorsports, running five races with a best finish of 20th at Atlanta. He will finish the 2001 season in the No. 31 Chevrolet of Richard Childress Racing.

A six-time off-road champion, Gordon moved to sports cars in 1990, winning five GTO races in 1991 and a Trans-Am race in 1992. He got his first taste of Indy cars in 1993, driving for A.J. Foyt. Gordon then went on to win four CART poles and races at Detroit and Phoenix in 1995. He also had success in the International Race of Champions, finishing second in 1996 and 1997. Gordon nearly won the 1999 Indianapolis 500, running out of gas on the final lap while leading.
