     ENSENADA, Baja California, Mexico—Referred to with admiration as the ‘Monsters of the Desert,’ SCORE International is celebrating the 25th ‘Silver’ season of the marquee SCORE Trophy Truck division for high-tech, 950-horsepower, unlimited custom desert racing trucks. The salute to these ‘Monsters’, created by then SCORE-owner Sal Fish in 1994, continues at next week’s Golden Anniversary of the legendary BFGoodrich Tires SCORE Baja 500.

     Online racer registration remains open until tonight (June 23) and pre-running on the rugged, race-record 542.12-mile course continues for through Friday (June 1) a total of 281 vehicles entered so far.

    Round 2 of the four-race 2018 SCORE World Desert Championship will be held next Tuesday through Sunday (May 29-June 3). The celebratory internationally-televised race will start and finish in Ensenada, the seaside port on the Pacific Ocean, located 80 miles south of San Diego.

DETAILS

     Most the world’s best desert racers will be in action at this year’s celebration of the golden anniversary of one of the top 10 motorsports events in the entire world.

     It is an elapsed-time race with staggered starts as the green flag on Saturday (June 2) will drop first for the motorcycles and quads at 3:30 a.m. (PDT) and approximately 8 a.m. (PDT) for the cars, trucks and UTVs. While the fastest vehicles are expected to finish in around 11 hours, all vehicles will have a 22-hour time limit from the time each starts to become an official finisher.

     Over 350 vehicles, in classes for cars, trucks, utvs, motorcycles and quads, are expected at the start line with racers from as many as 30 U.S. States and 20 countries anticipated.

     Race title sponsor BFGoodrich Tires has posted a US$25,000 contingency bonus to help commemorate this year’s race.

SCORE TROPHY TRUCK

      A class like no other in all of the motorsports, SCORE Trophy Trucks are the rugged thoroughbreds of the most grueling of all forms of motorsports and will once again be in the spotlight of next week’s Golden Jubilee race of the SCORE Baja 500.

     When first started by then SCORE-owner Sal Fish, these ‘monsters’ ran as their own series within the SCORE series for four years, 1994 through 1997. The Tecate SCORE Trophy Truck Series would usually run the day before the rest of the classes in a kind of made for TV series.

     Starting in 1998, SCORE Trophy Truck was merged into the rest of the classes in the SCORE series and has run as the featured racing division for every year since.

     In the early years, with factory teams from Toyota, Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Nissan and Jeep competing, the class peaked at 20 starters, but usually had no more than a dozen entries at any single race.

     Since the factory teams pulled out with the emergence of the NASCAR Truck Series, SCORE Trophy Truck numbers have grown dramatically, averaging nearly 35 in every event in the SCORE World Desert Championship.

     In the SCORE Baja 500, a SCORE Trophy Truck has been the overall winner in 13 of the last 14 years, including the last eight straight.

SAL REFLECTS

     “With the help of several people, most notably Frank DeAngelo (BFGoodrich Tires consultant), we launched the amazing SCORE Trophy Truck in 1994 with significant factory support,” remembers Sal Fish, who owned SCORE from its beginning in 1974 until he sold the organization to current owners Roger and Elise Norman after the 2012 season.

     “We began with these special trucks running their own series for four years (1994-1997—Tecate SCORE Trophy Truck Series), but as manufacturer support waned because of the advent of the NASCAR Truck Series, we moved SCORE Trophy Truck to the marquee racing division in the SCORE series. Since then, the SCORE Trophy Truck class has just exploded in popularity.”

     “In 25 years, this unique racing division has developed into one that rivals all forms of motorsports. The expanding technology involved and the amazing ingenuity of the racers and their teams have made SCORE Trophy Truck a racing machine beyond compare. I have never regretted for one moment introducing this class to the motorsports world.”

THE T-T PILOTS

     Entered in this year’s 50th BFGoodrich Tires SCORE Baja 500 among 35 total entries so far are seven racers who have combined to win the SCORE Trophy Truck division in this race 11 times including eight of the last 10 years.

     In terms of the overall history of this class, entered in this year’s race are seven drivers who have combined to capture 16 of the 25 SCORE Trophy Truck season point championships.

     In terms of career race wins in the SCORE Trophy Truck, 12 racers entered in next week’s race have combined to win this class 72 times out of 128 all-time SCORE races over the last 24-plus years.

     While there are many great driver’s in this year’s SCORE Trophy Truck field at this race, just seven have won it at least once.

SCORE BAJA 500 WINNERS

     Leading the way in SCORE Trophy Truck race wins in this race is Las Vegas’ Bryce Menzies, 30, with three wins in four years (2011, 2012, 2014) in the No. 7 Red Bull Menzies Motorsports Ford Raptor, built by Geiser Brothers. In early April he broke his back while filming a commercial and while he continues to recover, he has added a Red Bull teammate to the No. 7 truck. Driving much of the race will be France’s five-time Dakar Rally motorcycle champion Cyril Despres, 44, who has driven for the Peugeot car team the last three years and finished third in 2017.

     A pair of veteran racers have won this race twice. Former NASCAR team owner/driver Robby Gordon, 30 of Charlotte, N.C., won SCORE Trophy Truck in 2005 and 2013. He will be driving the No. 77 Speed Energy Team Gordon Chevy Silverado (custom-built).

     The other two-timer will be San Diego’s Andy McMillin, 31, who won SCORE Trophy Truck in this race in 2010 splitting driving with his talented father Scott McMillin and he is the defending champion after driving solo last year to the checkered flag. Next week, McMillin will drive the new No. 31 McMillin Racing Chevy Silverado (Mason-built) with his father listed as an additional driver, if needed.

GRAN HISTORIA

     Following last year’s epic celebration of the 50th BFGoodrich Tires SCORE Baja 1000, this year’s SCORE World Desert Championship spotlights the special tribute to the 50th BFGoodrich Tires SCORE Baja 500.

     The SCORE Baja 500 is one of the top motorsports events in the world. It was started originally in 1969 by the NORRA organization. Mickey Thompson and his SCORE International organization were invited by the Mexican government to take over the event in 1974. Sal Fish ran and later owned and produced the SCORE Baja 500 for 39 years until he sold SCORE to Roger and Elise Norman in December of 2012.

     This year will be the 45th time the race has started and 41st time it will finish in Ensenada, the off-road capital of the world.

GRANDEST CO-GRAND MARSHALS

     Legendary Hall of Fame former SCORE owner Sal Fish will join Hall of Fame retired racer Ivan Stewart as co-Grand Marshals for the 50th BFGoodrich Tires SCORE Baja 500.

     Fish, the ‘godfather’ of desert racing who ran SCORE from its Baja start in 1974 for 38 years through the end of the 2012 season joins the iconic ‘Ironman’ Stewart, who has 17 class wins (including 10 overalls) in the SCORE Baja 500, to share duties for the special golden anniversary race that they both have been such a major part of over the years.

     Fish, who turned 79 on May 2 and Stewart will turn 73 on June 4.
