ENSENADA, Baja California, Mexico (Sept. 22, 2019) – Running a relatively conservative pace over a rugged, dusty, tight and twisty race course in the midst of 36 battling ‘monsters’ in his class, third-generation veteran SoCal desert racing champion Ryan Arciero roared to the Overall and SCORE Trophy Truck race victory Saturday by winning the Inaugural Lucerna SCORE Baja 400 in dramatic fashion in the elapsed-time race.
Round 3 of the four-race 2019 SCORE World Desert Championship was held in Mexico’s Baja California, starting and finishing in Ensenada, the seaside port on the Pacific Ocean, 80 miles south of San Diego.
The celebratory internationally-televised race on a characteristically challenging, intensely rugged 390-mile course started and finished in front of the historic Riviera del Pacifico Cultural Center in the heart of Ensenada. The race will be televised as a one-hour special on a date to be announced on ESPN2’s World of X Games programming. In association with SCORE, the show is co-produced by BCII TV. Executive Producer is Bud Brutsman.
ARCIERO SOARS
Ryan Arciero, 46, of Foothill Ranch, Calif., recorded a hard-fought, penalty-free winning time 8 hours, 26 minutes and 32 seconds while averaging 46.20 miles per hour in his No. 32 Levi Arciero Racing Ford F-150 built by Herbst-Smith Fabrication.
After starting the season with a second-place 33rd SCORE San Felipe 250 in April, Arciero, whose family racing roots extend long and deep including his father Frank Arciero Jr who will be inducted to the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame on Nov. 3 in Las Vegas, he had a did not finish in the SCORE Baja 500.
It was Arciero’s fourth career SCORE Trophy Truck race win and first since 2004 when he won the SCORE Baja 500 with Mark Miller.
FINAL FLAG
When the final checkered flag fell, a total of 189 vehicles left the start line early Saturday morning with racers from 25 U.S. States and eight countries. When the course closed at 3:58 a.m. PT on Sunday, there were 146 official finishers for an unusually high 77.25 finishing percentage, especially considering the difficulty of the race course. The results were made official following complete data tracking review of the devices on each vehicle in the event late Sunday morning.
THE PODIUM
Joining Ryan Arciero on the podium were San Diego’s Andy McMillin, who won the first two races of the 2019 SCORE World Desert Racing Championship and Mexico’s Gustavo ‘Tavo’ Vildosola Jr.
McMillin, 32, who debuted a sparkling new all-wheel drive No. 31 McMillin Racing Chevy Silverado built by Mason Motorsports, finished second with a time of 8:28:09 (46.05mph) and Vildosola Jr, 37, of Mexicali, with a finishing time of 8:28:56 (45.98mph) in his No. 21 Vildosola Racing Ford Raptor (Vildosola) for third place.
MORGAN WINS MOTO OVERALL
Riding the No. 1x Honda CRF450X, Justin Morgan, 27, El Cajon, Calif. and his three-rider team raced to the overall motorcycle victory for his seventh consecutive overall motorcycle win in the SCORE World Desert Championship. The trio crossed the finish line in 8:32:30 with an average speed of 45.66mph.
Morgan split the riding with Mark Samuels, Yucca Valley, Calif. and Ricky Dietrich, of Yucca Valley, Calif.
Morgan rode from the start to race mile 190, Samuels rode from there to El Cambro, and Dietrich from there to about 30 miles from the finish and Morgan rode the final stretch that he drove on the start.
Starting first among the motorcycles and never relinquishing the physical lead, the 1x team held of Mexico’s Santiago Creel and his 66x team by a mere 6.14 seconds in the elapsed time race. Creel, the international motorcycle rally racer from Mexico City who raced in four classes in this race, teamed with Brandon Prieto of Ensenada, Mexico and Eric Yorba of Jamul, Calif. on a KTM 500EXCF.
As rider of record, Creel’s teams also finished second in Pro Moto Limited and second in Pro Moto 30. As a co-driver for Luis Pelayo, also of Mexico City, Creel finished 18th in Trophy Truck Spec.
TOP 19 OVERALL ALL SCORE TROPHY TRUCKS
Besides podium finishers Arciero, A. McMillin and Vildosola Jr, all of the top 19 overall four-wheel vehicle finishers were SCORE Trophy Trucks. SCORE Trophy Truck had a race-high 36 vehicles (including seven in SCORE TT Legend for drivers over 50) start the race. SCORE Trophy Truck is the marquee racing division in the sport for high-tech, 950 horsepower unlimited custom trucks. The class was created by SCORE 26 years ago (1994).
All among the top 19 overall four-wheel vehicle finishers after penalties were assessed, fourth in SCORE Trophy Truck was Justin Lofton, Brawley, Calif. (No. 41 Ford Raptor-Jimco), fifth was brothers Alan, Aaron and Rodrigo Ampudia of Ensenada, Mexico (No. 10 Ford Raptor-ID), sixth was Cameron Steele, San Clemente, Calif. (No. 16 Ford Raptor-Geiser), seventh in class was Las Vegas’ B.J. Baldwin (No. 97 Toyota Tundra-ID) and eighth was Chris Miller, Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. (No. 40 Chevy Silverado-Mason).
Finishing ninth in SCORE Trophy Truck and overall 4-wheel vehicle was Ricky Johnson, Trabuco Canyon, Calif. (No. 6 Chevy Silverado-Mason) and 10th was Bobby Pecoy, Anaheim, Calif. (No. 14 Ford Raptor-Geiser).
OVERALL UTV
Defeating 20 starters in his class and 34 total UTVs to win the overall UTV win title in this year’s race was veteran racer Wes Miller, Henderson, Nev., with a winning time of 10:00:50 in his No. 2975 Polaris RZR XP4 Turbo. He also won his Pro UTV FI (Forced Induction) class and he began his career racing on a quad over 20 years ago.
CLASS 1 SUPERLATIVE
Second generation SCORE desert racer Cody Parkhouse, Long Beach, Calif., captured the unlimited Class 1 while finishing 21st overall among four-wheel vehicles in the No. 127 Chevy-powered Jimco open-wheel desert race car. His winning effort was completed in a penalty-free 9:12:02 (42.39mph). He defeated 10 starters in his class. Finishing second behind Parkhouse, three minutes, 40 seconds behind Parkhouse, was reigning SCORE Class 1 season point champion Brad Wilson, Long Beach, Calif., in the No. 100 Jimco-Chevy.
ARCIERO COMMENTS
Enjoying his joyous victory celebration with his famous father and team at the finish line, Arciero said, “It was a great race for us. We started in the middle of the Trophy Truck field and I knew Andy McMillin was just two trucks in front of us. I used Andy as a guide for most of the race. Everything was smooth for us today and the new Joe Gibbs Racing motor was sensational. Great power and we have NASCAR guys in off-road which is a super crossover in the sport. We didn’t quite know where we stood overall with so many trucks bunched up and running very close.”
“The dust made it tougher for the SCORE Trophy Trucks and we just had to work our way through the field as best we could. I’m excited that my dad (Frank Arciero Jr) could make it down to this race too. He got me started in the sport and it’s fun to celebrate an overall win with him. We knew we needed a good finish for the starting position in the upcoming SCORE Baja 1000. And we couldn’t have done better than taking the victory today.”
MORGAN REFLECTIONS
Leading his team to its seventh consecutive overall and Pro Moto Unlimited race win in SCORE races over two years, Morgan reflected after the race, “The race was fairly smooth; we had a couple small close calls without having a helicopter. Ricky had a really good crash and knocked himself out. He got up and managed to make a little time back. I had to do my best to make up the time when I got the bike back. No mechanical issues the bike was awesome all day. Mark did really good and made up some good time. He rode the course really smooth up the coast. Ricky is fine he was totally ok after the race just had an unlucky crash. We have lots to build on and work on for the SCORE Baja 1000. But it was a really awesome course to run. We are really happy to get the win."
UNBEATEN
After three races, there remain just two unbeaten racers in their respective classes for this season.
Leading the group is the Justin Morgan team (Pro Moto Unlimited—No. 1x Honda CRF450R).
The other three-time 2019 2-wheel class winner is Giovanni Spinali, El Cajon, Calif. (Pro Moto 50—No. 500x Yamaha YZ450FX). Spinali’s teammates were Troy Pearce, Ramona, Calif./John Griffin, Lake Forest, Calif.
SCORE TT LEGEND
Driving as a substitute driver for Clyde Stacy, former SCORE Class 8 season point champion Nick Vanderwey, 52, Phoenix won SCORE TT Legends class for SCORE Trophy Truck drivers over 50 years old for the second straight race. Vanderwey drove Stacy’s RPM Racing No. 5L Chevy Rally Truck V-16 (Geiser) to victory in the hunt to win the class season point championship.
TROPHY TRUCK SPEC BATTLE
In a class with 25 starters, winning the Trophy Truck Spec class for the first time was Jorge Sampietro, Ensenada, Mexico in the No. 298 Mason-Chevy. He finished the race with a class-winning time 9:30:24 (41.02mph).
