MR. PERFECT | January 2025 Issue

Kaden Wells’ first season racing a Can-Am in SCORE events couldn’t have gone much better for him, as he drove every mile of every race. The SCORE San Felipe 250 saw him have to deal with some axle problems, and he says, “There were quite a few cars that had issues, but it seemed like whoever got their car fixed first was going to be the one to win it.” And, indeed Wells got his car going again in about 15 minutes, and other than stopping for fuel, he had a smooth cruise to finish first with nearly a 40-minute lead.

To get to that point, however, he and the Risq Racing Team also had to do everything right all season long. With third-place finishes at every race this season, Wells remained unfazed and focused, knowing he could win the race if he just held it together mentally and physically. Read More

RACING IN THE MUD | October 2022 Issue

For SCORE’s Pro UTV racers, the course before Hurricane Kay hit the area was much different than it was on race day. While the rain had stopped about a week before the start of the 3rd SCORE Baja 400 Presented by VP Racing Fuels, sections had been washed out or became muddy. Moto and Quad classes simply went around certain muddy areas, and the SCORE Trophy Trucks and Buggies simply had enough power and tire to blast right through them. So by the time the Pro UTV classes got onto the course, there were deep pits of mud, slush, and rocks dug up by the previous classes. Read More
