The team includes: Heather Bonnani, a long time off-road enthusiast who created the concept of the all-girl race team. Robyn Gordon and Beccy Gordon, daughters of racing legend "Baja Bob" Gordon and sisters of NASCAR driver Robby Gordon, jumped at the opportunity to challenge the desert. Beccy is a motorsports TV host, while Robyn is the only female driver to have ever won the Baja 1000 overall. These ladies grew up in the desert watching their fathers, brothers, husbands and boyfriends race. They figured it was time for the men to help them get behind the wheel. In 2006. AAGR became the first all girl race team to ever complete the Baja 1000.
