SCORE Baja 1000 Peninsula Run

Trophy Trucks at race mile 45 from the 2009 SCORE Baja 1000. Filmed by Chad Ragland on November 20, 2009 in Baja Mexico. The 672.85-mile-long Baja 1000 race is over, and 328 starters were boiled down to just a handful of winners in various classes. The premier events were taken by Andy and Scott McMillin in the trophy truck category, in a Chevrolet Silverado Geisser. Andy won the race three years ago as a Robby Gordon’s co-driver, but this year beat the NASCAR pilot by three places. Check this cool video made by Chad Ragland and see some of the lines the TT guys taking.

By Kyle LeDuc: “I was riding with my dad through mile 160 to 410. We were chasing Rick Johnson since the pole line in Felipe. We almost passed him three times! So when we got that close at Borrego we had to take it. Super sick and tons of fun. We got the truck to Nick Vanderwey and we were 2nd on the road behind Andy, about 4 1/2 mins. Nick drove about 30 or 40 miles and the mechanical fan that they run on the motor broke a blade, (super delux fan system!!!). The fan blade broke and punched through the radiator!
