2019 Dakar Team Speed Textron XXR Shakedown
Textron Test Flight
Robby Gordon and Team Speed returned to the 2019 Dakar Rally with three Speed-Edition Textron Off-Road XXR UTVs entered in the car category.
The vehicles have sponsorship from Toyo Tires, King Off-Road Racing Shocks and Speed Energy Drink.
Gordon drove his familiar bright orange and black Speed Energy/Toyo Tires/ Speed Edition Textron XX entry. Joining Team Speed for their first Dakar Rally attempts, young Stadium Super Truck racers Blade Hildebrand and Cole Potts fielded their own separate Speed Edition Textron XXR race vehicles.
Here’s a video from January 5, where the team is in Peru and getting the Textron race machines ready to contest the 2019 Dakar Rally:

ABOUT Textron Off Road®
The Textron Off Road story starts in 2003, in Natchez, Mississippi, where Textron built all-electric and hybrid gas/electric 4WD vehicles under the name Bad Boy, gaining a reputation among serious hunters for stealth, off-road performance. In 2010, Textron Off Road became part of Textron Inc., a Fortune 250 company, known worldwide for its powerful aviation brands. The innovation Textron put into Bell helicopters, Cessna aircraft and more is now part of the Textron's story, and is key to its future.
