NASCAR TO TROPHY TRUCK SPEC

     Fresh from winning his first NASCAR Infinity race in October on his hometown track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Terrible Herbst Motorsports’ young gun Riley Herbst, 24, unofficially blasted his way to victory over a race-high 36 starters in the Trophy Truck Spec class while also finishing eighth overall.
     Herbst drove the middle section while his champion father Troy Herbst, 59, returned to race for the first time in six years while devoting his time to his son’s NASCAR career, started the race and drove the first section while another third-generation Las Vegas desert racer Jordan Dean, 25, finished the race.
     Their finishing time was 25:33:14 over the exceedingly rough race course.
CLASS 1 SUPERLATIVE
     In his second season as the driver of record after over a decade as the team’s second driver, Kyle Quinn, 36, Lakewood, Calif., led a Wilson Motorsports team to victory in the unlimited Class 1. Quinn was the primary driver for the No. 100 Wilson Motorsports Chevy-powered Jimco open-wheel desert race car.
     Defeating a field of 11 starters in Class 1, splitting the driving with Quinn were John Herder, 54, Tucson, Ariz., and Greg Distefano, 53, San Diego.

     In this year’s SCORE Baja 1000, trio drove to a winning time on the Baja California peninsula of 26:14:51, over the extremely demanding race course.
‘MINI MAC’ TOPS UTVS
     Being son of the G.O.A.T. of off-road racing (Rob MacCachren), Las Vegas’ third-generation desert racer Cayden MacCachren, 21, has clearly stepped away from his famous father’s tracks and is forming his own trail in desert racing. He capped his first season with the new four-vehicle Polaris Factory team by winning his Pro UTV Open class as well as being the fastest of 54 UTVs in four different classes in this year’s SCORE Baja 1000.
     In just a few short seasons, Cayden MacCachren has raced in multiple SCORE classes
     Cayden MacCachren finished his ‘rookie’ season by finishing third in the 2021 SCORE World Desert Championship point standings in the Pro UTV FI class as the second driver for Brandon Schueler. Cayden MacCachren was voted as the 2021 SCORE Rookie of the Year for his exemplary efforts. Last season he raced part of the season in Pro UTV FI and part in the Trophy Truck Spec class.
     Cayden MacCachren has spent several years in Baja prior to the last two-plus seasons. Mini-Mac has driven for pre-running with his famous father while dad Rob records all the course notes for both of them.
     He opened the 2023 season with a fourth-place finish in Pro UTV Open in the SCORE San Felipe San Felipe 250, 14th in the SCORE Baja 500, and fourth in the SCORE Baja 400 before defeating a field of 15 starters in his class with a victory margin of over 14 minutes. He clearly had help from his friends as also driving part of the race this year were former motorcycle champion Justin Morgan, 33, El Cajon, Calif., and New Zealand’s international drifting champion Rhys Millen, 51, who lives in Huntington Beach, Calif.
     With his new Polaris Factory Racing team, Cayden MacCachren is the driver of the No. 1821 SCI Motorsports Polaris Pro-R. The three teammates finished this year’s SCORE Baja 1000 in a winning time of 27:25:03.
MORE UTV GOLD
    Winning the other three UTV classes this year included Jason Murray, 40, North Tustin, Calif. (No. 2917 Can-Am X3) in Pro UTV FI, Lawrence Janesky, 59, Middlebury, Conn. (No. 1914 Honda Talon 1000R) in Pro UTV NA, and Lucy Block, 48, Park City, Utah, and her daughter Lia Block, 17, Park City, Utah (No. 3943K Can-Am Maverick R).
     While both Murray and Janesky are veteran SCORE champions, while this was the first SCORE race for Lucy and her daughter, who race in memory of Lucy’s husband and Lia’s father Ken Block who passed away this past January.
MENZIES & CO COMMENTS
     At the finish line celebration of three times combining for the huge victory, all three drivers had plenty to say about the race and their team…
  Bryce Menzies
     Menzies said at the finish line, “This one feels really special. It’s taken me 12 years to win the SCORE Baja 1000 and to win the second-longest SCORE race in history, it feels pretty special. I had a very smooth first section, with no flats or anything, Andy had one flat in his part but did a great job too and Tavo went through San Felipe and all the bumps and the cold weather. I also wanted to thank SCORE for putting on another amazing race here in Baja.”
  Andy McMillin
     McMillin shared at the end, “Bryce got me the truck in a great spot, first on the road and on time. Unfortunately, I had a flat tire early in my section and had to change it, so some of guys behind us got closer. I really had to dig deep and continue to push forward. I knew that if we were still first at around race mile 640, in the Bay of LA, we were going to make dust in those big, fast roads and no one was going to be able to come around. We were able to make up some time there”.
     “In the Catavina Loop, we just wanted to keep the truck clean, even if we needed to go slow. This is a very grueling and demanding race on your mind, your body and your emotions and when you chase it for so long and you come up short, there’s a lot to be said about that. Bryce has been trying to win his first SCORE Baja 1000 for 13 years and he always came back and kept fighting. That says a lot about his character and the kind of person he is. I’m very thankful for them having me here racing for them ”.
  Tavo Vildosola
     Vildosola Jr commented, “Having been racing down here for the last 25 years, I was very familiar with my section. The Valle de la Trinidad section is always very difficult, but it wasn’t as bad this time. The Goat Trail was ridiculously wet and it was really hard to even see anything in there. Luke (McMillin, No 1.) was making up time on me so I just put my shield up from Ojos Negros to the finish and kept pushing. It was an interesting final 120 miles. It feels great to win the race. We knew we were a great team and a lot of people expected us to win it, but I’m glad we actually did it.”
‘CHAVO’ COMMENTS
     At the finish line, Salvatierra commented about his 1x team and their huge victory, saying “It feels really good to be at the finish, especially with this being the second-longest SCORE race ever and all that we have gone through before the green flag even dropped.. It’s great to think we made history here. We had a very eventful week with two of our riders getting injuries and another getting sick. But we have lions in our team and Shane (Logan) and Diego (Llanos) had to step up for us and take sections from other riders without pre-running them and did a wonderful job. I couldn’t do my section because I got injured on Friday. The bike was flawless during the entire race. Outside of tire changes and regular maintenance things, we didn’t have to do anything on it. I have been honored to race with SCORE these past years and this is a very big accomplishment for me personally and for this team.”

    The race featured a course, fully plotted, and marked by SCORE President/Race Director Jose A. Grijalva, and Co-Race Director Rodolfo Fernandez, of 1310.94 miles of rugged Baja California terrain.
     The challenging, predominantly up-hill rugged race course was another memorable example of all that Mexico’s Baja California has to offer, including high-speed dirt trails, sandy, rocky, and silty natural terrain, majestic Baja washes and canyons, stretches along the seashore with elevations from sea level to over 4,000 feet. The course was another crown jewel reflecting the stark beauty of Baja California.
     The 1310.94-mile race course, ran for the first time from La Paz to Ensenada, UP Mexico’s magnificent Baja California peninsula.
     The iconic race started for the first time on the picturesque El Malecon in La Paz along the Sea of Cortez and finished on Boulevard Costero, adjacent to the historic Riviera del Pacifico Cultural Center in the heart of Ensenada.
