The First Win is the Best

SCORE PRO UTV FI racer Craig Scanlon pulled off one of the most nail-biting finishes of his racing career by taking a class win at the 51st SCORE Baja 500. The win was Scanlon's first at an official SCORE event, racing against some of the biggest names in off-road desert racing, despite having to wait until the official results were tallied before he could celebrate. "Winning the SCORE Baja 500 to me is like winning the Super Bowl or the Stanley Cup," said Scanlon. "I was troubled with those racers starting ahead of us because I didn’t think I was going to be able to weave past the bottlenecks to catch the leaders. I started near the back of the field."
