The father of Stadium Super Trucks founder Robby Gordon has been found dead in his California home.

The bodies of 68-year-old Robert Gordon, known as ‘Baja Bob’ for his offroading exploits, and his wife Sharon, 57, were found inside a home along with a weapon.

News of the tragedy came at the same time Robby Gordon’s sister, Beccy gave birth to a third son. Beccy Gordon is married to IndyCar driver Ryan Hunter-Reay.

The next outing for Robby Gordon’s Super Trucks is scheduled for this weekend at Costa Mesa.
