Gordon to Dakar again
Robby Gordon completed shakedown tests last week in California of the Hummer H3 he will drive in the Dakar rally, his second time in the African desert.
Gordon's H3 will have a carbon fiber body and a 427-cid LS1 V8, built by Katech Engineering, a Detroit-area firm. The engine is similar to those in the Le Mans Corvettes.
This year's Dakar starts New Year's Eve in Lisbon, Portugal, and covers 16 stages in two weeks, running 6500 miles to the Atlantic coastal city of Dakar, Senegal, on Jan. 15. Among the 508 teams from all over the world are 10 from America, three in the four-wheel category and seven in motorcycles. See www.dakar.com for more.
NASCAR notes
Former crew chief Michael "Fatback'' McSwain is the new general manager at Wood Brothers Racing, which named David Hyder crew chief for new driver Ken Schrader. They worked together last season at BAM Racing, which named Ron Otto crew chief for rookie driver Brent Sherman.
Todd Parrott, formerly of Robert Yates Racing, is the new crew chief for Bobby Labonte at Petty Enterprises. Penske South shut down its No. 77 team and made Kodak a major associate on the No. 2 Dodge of new driver Kurt Busch. Roy McCauley replaced Larry Carter as his crew chief. Travis Kvapil, driver of the Kodak Dodge last season, was told to look elsewhere for work.
