Method Race Wheels Post-Qualifying Quotes

September 11, 2024

(As interviewed by Paul Hanson, Isaac Flores; transcribed by Guilherme Torres)

SCORE TROPHY TRUCK (Unlimited Custom Trucks)

TOBY PRICE, No. 46 (Qualified first) – I think we had a good, clean lap. We had a little scare, but we got through it and the truck is still in great shape. The course was really difficult to try to make time on anyone. We got a few days until the race, but we’re excited for it. The race course has some sections from previous races, but it’s a little tricky. We’ll see what the day will bring, but I think it’s going to be really difficult to make passes, so we’ll hopefully let the race come to us.

CHRISTOPHER POLVOORDE, No. 94 (Qualified second) – That was really tough, there was a lot of crazy terrain up there. It was a really challenging course that really pushed us. I made a few mistakes, definitely, but just tried to keep it on the course the whole time. Overall, I feel good and happy with where the team is coming. We’re learning a lot with this truck every race. We want to keep our heads down and learn more on race day. The name of the game this race is going to be patience. We’re going to have a lot of guys pushing hard, but it’s rough terrain and from Mike’s Sky Ranch (race mile 280) to the end, it's very, very technical.

BRYCE MENZIES, No. 1 (Qualified third) – It went pretty well. I thought this was going to be a lot more short-course style, but it was very tight and technical, with some big ditches. You always want to play it safe, but you also want to push it. It felt like a good run, we didn’t make any mistakes and I’m hoping for a top five. The race course is very technical. They took every hard part of every race that we do and added into this one, so it’s going to be pretty slow, technical and tight. It’s going to be challenging, but certainly an awesome day.

ALAN AMPUDIA, No. 10 (Qualified fourth) – We started well and were able to keep it clean for the most part. We only did one mistake, got the car little sideways a little bit and ended up losing a lot of time there. But the car is OK and Saturday is what counts. We still got a couple more days of pre-running, but we’ve been putting on great work this past weekend and a half and I can’t wait for the race on Saturday.

LUKE McMILLIN, No. 83 (Qualified fifth) – It went pretty well. Unfortunately, we had an electrical issue right at the start of our practice lap and it was kind of hard to get our notes having to deal with that. When the green flag dropped, we just hammered it down and I thought we did pretty well. I thought we had the perfect qualifying pace, pushing in some spots and being more conservative in others, but we didn’t make any major mistakes. I think that should put us in the top five.

ROB MacCACHREN, No. 11 (Qualified sixth) – It was a decent run. It’s a new course and we had to take some risks. But I know you don’t win the race in qualifying, so I was cautious in some places. But ultimately, we’ve working hard to get everything in order on the truck since the SCORE Baja 500. It would be nice to be up as high as we can. Anywhere on the top ten is fine. The SCORE Baja 400 is notorious for being a wide-open race the whole day and I know it’s going to be that way. They got some new sections in the race course. I’ve been coming here for almost 40 years and there’s about 20 miles of the course I’ve never been on. It’s a great course, very technical.

CAMERON STEELE, No. 16 (Qualified seventh) CO-DRIVER JOSH DANIEL said: It went pretty well. We were just trying to be really smooth and don’t make any mistakes. I haven’t qualified in seven years probably, so I didn’t want to push it and blow it off a turn and ruin everything. We got on a soft spot and lost two to three seconds there, but other than that, it was just smooth and clean. We just wanted to have a good start and the truck is in good shape. We were looking for a top ten finish and hopefully we got it. There’s a lot of fun stuff and a lot of stuff I don’t like on the race course. Uruapan and Erendira are always a challenge, but the beach section is beautiful.

GUSTAVO VILDOSOLA JR, No. 21 (Qualified tenth) – Unfortunately we made a couple of critical mistakes, one here almost at the end, where the truck made a 360 loop. We had another one in the back, when we came into a ditch and went into the bushes. It was a tough day of qualifying, I think maybe we got a top-15 start. It’s very slippery out here, but the truck feels good. I think the race will be very singletrack, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to do much starting from the back.

MIKEY LAWRENCE, No. 85 (Qualified 13th) – It went fairly well. There were a lot of spots where you could toss it very, very easily, but we’re here and we didn’t get any flats, so I’m happy. It’s our first race with this new truck and it feels good to get a little bit more drive to the wheels. Pre-running has been going well, with no issues. I’m splitting the race with Dustin Grabowski this time and we’re working on our team work.

GUSTAVO VILDOSOLA SR, No. 1L (Qualified first) CO-DRIVER RICKY JOHNSON said: It was good. It was a very tricky course, which represented a lot of Baja. There were a lot of turns you couldn’t see, but also some fast sections. It was a good course, but sometimes a little frustrating for the driver, because you want to hang it out, but you got to keep it clean. We tried some new things with the truck for qualifying which we liked, but we’re learning every race. I’ll do the first half of the race and will get the beach section, which is fast, but before it there’s some technical stuff, which is going to be very dusty. We’ll need to be patient until we get there.

TIM HERBST, No. 19L (Qualified second) CO-DRIVER PAT DEAN said: Our truck was pretty phenomenal. The course was very technical, it had a lot of off-camber, but we still got to go pretty fast. It’s difficult for these trucks, but we did fine. With the race course, I think the fast half is very fast and nice. Tim (Herbst) will get the second half and he’ll get the technical part of it.

CLAY LAWRENCE, No. 85L (Qualified third) CO-DRIVER LARRY ROESELER said: It was pretty fun. It’s a new course for all of us and it was a bit slippery, but it had some really cool jumps and some technical sections. I made a couple of small mistakes, but when you try to push it, that’s what happens. We race right through here, so this course gave us a taste of the race course. It’s very technical for the most part, I really like it.
