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.”
