This morning, nearly 300 entries from 32 U.S. States and 18 countries will participate in the 57th BFGoodrich SCORE Baja 1000, the world’s oldest off-road race, covering a 864.13-mile course that both begins and ends in Ensenada, Baja. The race will feature 35 entries in the premier SCORE Trophy Truck division, showcasing all-wheel drive machines with cutting-edge technology and engines over 1,100 horsepower, with trucks now exceeding a $1 million cost. In addition to SCORE Trophy Truck, there are several other pro four-wheel vehicle classes with double-digit entries, including Trophy Truck Spec, Pro UTV FI, Pro UTV Open, Class 10, and Pro UTV Stock. Two-wheel classes like Pro Moto Unlimited, Pro Moto 30, and Pro Motorcycle Ironman also have significant participation, with a SCORE-record 32 entries in the latter. Young racer Christopher Polvoorde earned the top starting position in the No.1 Red Bull/Optima/Toyo Tire all-wheel drive Ford Raptor, while off-road legend Rob MacCachren set a fast qualifying lap in the McMillin Racing Beast Unleashed/BFGoodrich No.83 Ford Raptor at 59 years old, aiming for another Baja 1000 victory. Andy McMillin and Dan McMillin will join Luke McMillin in the No.23 Monster Energy/BFGoodrich Ford Raptor, making it a family affair in the fierce competition.
