BFGoodrich, the official tire of
the
SCORE Desert Racing
Series, won its 25th overall Baja 1000
title with Team BFGoodrich member Andy
McMillin and his father Scott McMillin
taking turns at the wheel.
The
McMillins finished the race in 14 hours
and 51 minutes, averaging 47.12 miles per
hour throughout the course. Their victory
on Baja T/A KR tires marks the company’s
25th win in the last 26 years. It also
claimed eight of the Top 10 overall
spots.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better finish
to the 2011 SCORE Baja 1000 or a better
weekend overall,” says Silvia Mammone,
motorsports marketing manager.
“We are thrilled with the McMillins’
overall win, Bryce Menzies’ SCORE Trophy
Truck championship and Nick Vanderwey’s
second-place podium finish, running for the
first time on the 42-inch BFGoodrich Baja
T/A tires,” she reports.
“Congratulations to the drivers who
finished what looked to be one of the
toughest Baja races in history,” Mammone
adds.
“That was the most intense race I’ve ever
been a part of,” says Andy McMillin,
describing the event as “a freight-train
free-for-all. It was such a blast. It was
so much fun.” He was especially pleased to
win with his father: “It means a
lot.”
“Well, I had the awesomest tires – I had
the 42-inch BFGs on 20-inch TrailReady
wheels,” says Vanderwey. “What a race –
holy moly! It was intense racing. We just
hit so many rocks. It was unbelievable what
these tires will take.”
Jessica McMillin earned the
SCORE
(Southern California Off-Road Enthusiasts)
Pro Truck class championship for the
season as series rookie Menzies took the
Trophy Truck championship with a third-
place finish.
