This year’s SCORE Baja 1000 will be a loop race of a spectacular 898.40 miles in the northern state of Mexico’s majestic Baja California peninsula. The distance is a race-record for a loop race. It will start for the 46th time and finish for the 27th time in Ensenada and the race is annually the finale of the SCORE World Desert Championship, which has been held exclusively for the past five years in Baja California. With a total time limit of 40 hours in the elapsed-time race, the motorcycle and quad classes will start at 4 a.m. (PT) on Friday, Nov. 20 and the car, truck and UTV classes will follow with their start on at 10 a.m. (PT).  While the fastest vehicles are expected to cover the course in approximately 18 hours, all vehicles will have 40 hours from the time each starts to become an official finisher. MAC ATTACK Las Vegas’ Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame inductee Rob MacCachren, 55, is the winningest all-time off-road racer with over 300 career open desert and career short-course victories. He has nine career class wins in the SCORE Baja 1000 including four overall crowns. Included in his overall wins were three consecutive years (2014, 2015, 2016). In 2014 MacCachren won with Andy McMillin and Jason Voss as his additional drivers. In 2015, McMillin was his second driver and in 2016 Voss was his additional driver.

He drives the No. 11 Geiser Bros-built MacCachren Motorsports Ford F-150 in the featured SCORE Trophy Truck division. He is the all-time leader in SCORE Trophy Truck career race wins with 17 total. Another of MacCachren’s many magical moments in his storied career was winning the overall and SCORE Trophy Truck titles in 2018 in the 50th anniversary of the SCORE Baja 500. TALENTED TEAM Prominent Texas energy entrepreneur, real estate investor and co-owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Bobby Patton, 57, of Fort Worth, and Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame inductee and owner of the iconic Jimco Racing Products company Robbie Pierce, 61, Alpine Calif., have moved up as a talented team to compete this year in the SCORE TT Legend class for SCORE Trophy Truck drivers over 50 years of age. For this year’s SCORE Baja 1000, the dynamic duo will split the driving in the Jimco-built No. 20L Chevy Silverado. PARKHOUSE FAMILY Keeping it all in the family, Cody Parkhouse and his father Brian Parkhouse will be racing in the unlimited Class 1, fresh from an impressive class victory in September’s SCORE Baja 500. For this year’s SCORE Baja 1000, the son/father duo will be a favorite in Class 1 in their No. 127 Jimco-Chevy open-wheel desert race car. Cody Parkhouse, 33, and his father Brian Parkhouse, 61, both of Long Beach, Calif., are veteran SCORE race champions. As a pair, the Parkhouse family has three Class 1 victories in SCORE Baja 500 (2014, 2015, 2020) and Cody Parkhouse has two Class 1 season point championships in 2012 and 2013. ARREDONDO RETURNS Guatemala’s Francisco Arredondo, 43, returns to the SCORE World Desert Championship after a absence of almost three years. Arredondo won the 2017 SCORE Overall motorcycle and Pro Moto Unlimited titles with three class wins in four races on the No. 45x BREMEN-Arredondo-Haines Racing Honda CRF450X. His primary teammates were Shane Esposito and Justin Morgan. He also had assistance from Roberto Villalobos in winning the 2017 SCORE Baja 500 and Max Eddy Jr. and Ty Davis in winning the epic 50th anniversary of the SCORE Baja 1000. For this year’s SCORE Baja 1000 Arredondo switches to a four-wheel class to drive the Bremen No. 1945 Honda Talon in Pro UTV NA (Naturally Aspirated) class supported again by Chris Haines Racing. SPINALI SUPER TEAM Veteran SCORE age-group motorcycle champion Giovanni Spinali, 54, has put together another championship team to run in Pro Moto 50 for riders over 50 years old. Spinali won his class in the 2018 SCORE Baja 1000 and he has earned three season Pro Moto 50 class titles (2014, 2018, 2019). Riding on his No. 500x Yamaha YZ450F, Spinali has put together another stellar team to tackle the longest loop race course in SCORE Baja 1000. He will have six co-riders this year.

BOLIVIAN IRONMEN SCORE has had few racers from Bolivia compete in a SCORE race but this year’s SCORE Baja 1000 will see a pair of Bolivian international rally racers and national motorcross champions—Juan Carlos ‘Chavo’ Salvatierra and Fabricio Fuentes, each competing as solo riders in the SCORE Pro Moto Ironman class. Salvatierra, 39, Santa Cruz, Bolivia, has raced nine years in the Dakar Rally, also mountain biking and triathlons. Considered the most important athlete in the history of Bolivia, In 2011, Salvatierra became the first racer from Bolivia to race in the Dakar Rally. He is also a nine-time Bolivian National Motocross champion. He won the Pro Moto Ironman class in September’s SCORE Baja 500, his first SCORE race. “Racing solo in the SCORE Baja 500 was like doing four stages of the Dakar Rally in one day. The SCORE Baja 1000 will be twice as demanding, but it is a challenge that I am willing to face,” says Salvatierra, who will compete on his No. 725x Villamontes Racing KTM 500 EXC-F motorcycle. Salvatierra wants to climb to the top of the podium and add a new world title to his career. He was already World Cross Country Rally Champion in 2013, won the 2014 Rally of the Pharaohs as well as a top 10 finish in the Dakar Rally in 2017. Honored by the Bolivian Senate in 2019 for his accomplishments on and off of the motorcycle, Salvatierra is both a UNICEF Ambassador and a Special Olympic Ambassador. Fuentes, 43, Villamontes, Bolivia, four-time Bolvian National Motocross champion who competed in the Dakar Rally from 2014 through 2019.  He races for Villamontes Racing.
