OVERALL SHOWDOWNS
While the overall motorcycle victory is easier to identify potentially
as one of three factory-supported teams from American Honda (Colton
Udall, rider of record), Kawasaki (Robby Bell) and KTM (Kurt Caselli),
the overall four-wheel vehicle is destined to be another survival of the
fittest among many favorites in the field of 34 SCORE Trophy Trucks,
SCORE’s marquee racing division for high-tech, 850-horsepower unlimited
production trucks.
A trio of Las Vegas desert racing stars-Rob MacCachren, Bryce Menzies
and B.J. Baldwin are clearly the favorites in the SCORE Trophy Truck
field, but not far behind are two Las Vegas brothers Tim and Troy
Herbst, RPM Racing’s Lopez/Gordon duo and Steven Strobel of Nebraska.
MacCachren currently leads the season point standings in SCORE Trophy
Truck with two race wins this season and 271 points in the No. 20
MasterCraft Safety Rockstar Ford F-150, Lopez/Gordon are second with 265
points in the No. 18 RPM Racing Speed Chevy Silverado and Baldwin is
third with one win this season and 254 points in the No. 97 Baldwin
Motorsports Monster Chevy Silverado.
With this race being the most prestigious in all of the sport, numerous
other racers are capable of winning it, including Tim Herbst and Larry
Roeseler, El Cajon, Calif., in the No. 19 Terrible Herbst Motorsports
Monster Ford F-150 with 226 points in fifth place in class, Troy Herbst
and Ryan Arciero, Foothill Ranch, Calif., in the No. 49 Terrible Herbst
Motorsports Ford F-150 with 216 points and sixth in class points and
Strobel, Clarks, Nebraska in the No. 94 Strobel Motorsports Ford F-150
and 240 points and fourth in points.
While those season regulars will certainly be among the four-wheel front
runners there will also be the two teams who won the last three years
who aren’t running the full SCORE schedule this year but still among the
favorites.
Menzies did not race the full schedule this year but won June’s Tecate
SCORE Baja 500 by 11 seconds over Baldwin in the No. 1 Menzies
Motorsports Red Bull Ford F-150 as the defending series overall and
SCORE Trophy Truck point champion.
The second and third-generation desert racing team of Andy McMillin and
his father Scott McMillin won the overall four-wheel title in both 2009
and 2011 in the No. 31 McMillin Homes Ford F-150.
Mexico’s Gus Vildosola and his son Gus Vildosola Jr., won the last
peninsula run in 2010 in the No. 21 Vildosola Racing Red Bull, Ford
F-150. In 2010, Vildosola Racing became the first Mexican national team
to win the overall title of this race as their time on the course was
faster than the overall motorcycle winner for only the eighth time in
the 44-year history of this race.
REVVING THE RPMs
RPM Racing, based in Bristol, Tenn., not only has a SCORE-record eight
entries in the upcoming Tecate SCORE Baja 1000, the team is leading the
season point championship races in six of those classes, is second in
one and tied for third in the other. RPM has already recorded a
SCORE-record 18 class wins in the first four races of the year.
With team principals Justin Matney and Clyde Stacy, who each have
already captured four SCORE season class point titles individually as
drivers of record, RPM Racing has entries in the marquee SCORE Trophy
Truck division, unlimited Class 1 for open-wheel desert race cars, Class
5-1600, Class 6, Class 8, Class 4, Class 2 and Sportsman Buggy.
RPM is leading the points entering the season-finale in Class 5-1600 (2
wins), Class 6 (3), Class 8 (4), Class 4 (3), Class 2 (3) and SPT Buggy
(3). The team is second in SCORE Trophy Truck and tied for third in
Class 1.
MORE TIGHT POINTS
Several classes enter the 45th Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 with very tight
title point’s races for the SCORE season championship in each class.
SCORE Trophy Truck tops the list with the top three separated by just 17
points and Class 22 for open motorcycles is even closer with KTM’s
Caselli, Murrieta, Calif., leading with 146 points, followed by JCR
Honda’s Udall, San Clemente, Calif. with 144 and Kawasaki’s Bell,
Menifee, Calif. with 140.
The other closest battles for season championships among the car and truck classes are Class 1/2-1600, 5-1600, 7SX and 10.
In Class 1/2-1600, Cody Robinson, El Centro, Calif., has 226 while nine
points back is Robert Archibald, El Cajon, Calif. with 217.
Battling RPM’s Stacy in Class 5-1600 is Canadian fireman Erich Reisen.
Entering this race, they both have two class wins this season and Stacy
holds a 218-199 edge in the point standings.
In Class 7SX, Mexico’s defending season champion Eliasa Hanna has two
wins and 178 points but leads the Justin Fisher/John Holmes team, who
have won win this year, by just three points.
Three teams seem to still be in the hunt for the Class 10 season points,
separated by just 21 points. With two wins this season, Matt Cullen,
Long Beach, Calif., has 227 points while second is Mike Lawrence, Sunset
Beach, Calif., who has one class win and 211 points while third place
Peter Hajas, Wayzata, Minn., has 206 points.
Besides Class 22, the three other closest point races in the pro motorcycle classes are Class 20 and Class 21.
In Class 20, solo racer Gabriel Williams, Provo, Utah, has one race win
and 144 points while Chad Broughton, Scotts Valley, Calif., also has one
win and enteres this race with 140 points, just four behind Williams.
Mexico’s Francisco Septien has a race win and leads Class 21 with 148
points, while second with one win is the team lead by Jim O’Neal with
141 points and third is Carlos Casas, Chula Vista, Calif., with 131
points.
The class with the tightest overall point battle is Class 25 for open
ATVs where the top four teams are separated by just seven points.
Leading Class 25 is defending series champion Wayne Matlock, El Cajon,
Calif., with 143 points while second is Josh Frederick, Moapa, Nev., who
has one win, with 142 points, third is Brandon Brown, Umatilla, Ore.,
with 138 and fourth just two points behind Brown with 136 is Mexico’s
Rafael Torres.
LIVING LEGENDS
This year’s race will also commemorate the achievements of legendary
desert racers like Rod Hall, Ron Bishop, Johnny Johnson, and Larry
Roeseler.
Hall, who will turn 75 next Thursday (Nov. 22), has a record 21 class
wins (including one overall win in 1972), and is the only racer who has
competed in all 44 SCORE Baja 1000 races. Bishop is the only racer who
competed in the first 40 SCORE Baja 1000 races.
Hall will be racing this year in the Stock Mini class where he will
split the driving with his granddaughter Shelby Hall in a Hummer H3.
Bishop is the only racer who competed every year of the first 40 on a
Motorcycle. Johnson, also now retired, had 15 class wins, amazingly in
eight different classes.
Roeseler, has 17 class wins in this race, including a record 13 overall
wins (10 on a motorcycle). Roeseler will share driving duties again this
year in SCORE Trophy Truck with Tim Herbst in the No. 19 Terrible
Herbst Motorsports Monster Ford F-150.

racing, winners of 23 of the26 Pro classes that had finishers last year

Class 40. Jim O’Neal, another age-group motorcycle rider, has put
