The famous SoCal racing family is back in a major way with four family members in three family entries, two in SCORE Trophy Truck and one in Class 10.

A second-generation SCORE race team, the Dan and Andrew have all had their share of race wins in SCORE racing over the years as they prepare to continue this new Myers family adventure.
The biggest Myers family SCORE class win was in 2000 when Steve Myers was the driver of record and split the driving with his brothers Dan and Andrew to win Class 10 in the epic new millennium race of nearly 1,700 miles that started in Ensenada and finished in Cabo San Lucas.
Andrew was away from desert racing for the most part for nearly a decade as he pursued a NASCAR stock car racing career. During his NASCAR years he competed in the Truck Series, the ARCA Series as well as both the NASCAR Pro Series West and the NASCAR Pro Series East.
BIG BLUE M TRIPLE
All entered in the marquee SCORE racing division and the current stars of the third-generation of McMillin family racers from the Big Blue Machine, San Diego’s Andy McMillin, 34, and his cousins Daniel McMillin, 34, and Luke McMillin, 29, who are also from San Diego, are clearly the three of the racers with the largest targets on their backs as the racers to beat in the SCORE Baja 400.
To keep it brief, Andy McMillin won the SCORE San Felipe 250 in 2019 on the way to winning the SCORE Trophy Truck season point championship that year, drives the No. 31 all-wheel drive Chevy Silverado built by Mason Motorsports.
Daniel McMillin won the 2020 SCORE Baja 500 which was held in San Felipe and he drives the AWD No. 23 4 Wheel Parts Chevy 1500 built by Mason Motorsports.

Andy McMillin is tied for second with 11 career SCORE Trophy Truck race wins and he was the 2019 season point championship. Luke McMillin has three career SCORE Trophy Truck race wins and his brother Dan McMillin has one career SCORE Trophy Truck race wins.
     In this year’s SCORE San Felipe 250, Andy McMillin qualified in the fourth spot, just behind his cousin Luke and just ahead of his other cousin Dan.
Andy experienced some mechanical issues but still managed to finish 20th out of 34 starters in the preeminent class in all of desert racing. Luke McMillin won the overall in the race and Dan finished 22nd.
In this year’s SCORE Baja 500, Luke McMillin finished sixth, Dan McMillin finished 10 and Andy McMillin was an unfortunate DNF as the substitute driver for Eric Hustead.

From Mexicali, Gus, 68, and Tavo, 40, are both veteran SCORE racers with numerous race wins and season point titles on their impressive resumes.

Racing in different trucks in the same class in the second SCORE Baja 400 race in 2021, Gus Vildosola Sr finished seventh in SCORE Trophy Truck while his son Tavo Vildosola finished ninth in SCORE Trophy Truck.
AWD MENZIES
A one-time protégé of Rob MacCachren, Las Vegas’ Bryce Menzies has molded his own substantial career in desert racing and rally racing out of the Menzies Motorsports race shop in his hometown.
Menzies, 34, literally exploded onto the SCORE desert racing scene in 2011 winning the SCORE Overall point championship, the SCORE Trophy Truck season point crown, two individual race wins and was voted as the 2011 SCORE Rookie of the Year.
Menzies has seven career SCORE Trophy Truck race wins, the most recent being in last September in the SCORE Baja 400.
A great start that has evolved into branching out into short-course racing, rally race, long-jump record feats and rock-crawling victories.
In 2016 Menzies made history by jumping his off-road truck 115.6m (379.4ft) over a New Mexico ghost town to set a new truck distance record.
With seven career SCORE Trophy Truck race wins including last year’s SCORE San Felipe 250 and the SCORE Baja 400, Menzies is obviously among the favorites in his No. 7 Red Bull Menzies Motorsports Ford Raptor all-wheel drive SCORE Trophy Truck built by Mason Motorsports. He opened the 2022 season with a second-place finish in the SCORE San Felipe 250 after winning the same race in 2021.
Menzies suffered a DNF in this year’s SCORE Baja 500.

In the SCORE Baja 1000, LR, as he is also known by friends and competitors, has a race-record 14 overalls (including 10 on motorcycles) among his 18 career class wins.

Last year, Roeseler won the SCORE Baja 500 overall and drove solo to a strong finish in the SCORE Baja 1000 peninsula run. The SCORE Baja 500 victory last year gave him five career SCORE Trophy Truck race wins.
In the 2020 season finale at the SCORE Baja 1000, Roeseler drove the first half of the race for the overall winning Luke McMillin.
In San Felipe this year Roeseler had a rare DNF and he came back in June’s SCORE Baja 500 with another impressive podium finish in third place out of 32 starters.

Broc Dickerson, 21, and his dad Jeff Dickerson, 46, can share the driving duties in their team’s No. 34 Ford Raptor built by TSCO but dad will say he is just a back-up in case his son needs some driving assistance.
Like most SCORE desert racers, the Dickersons started SCORE racing at a young age and have raced in a number of classes in their careers. Broc Dickerson won the 2017 SCORE Class 10 season point title and Jeff Dickerson won the Class 20 Motorcycle class championship in 1991.
Together, the Dickersons opened the 2022 season with a 19th place finish out of 34 starters in the marquee SCORE Trophy Truck class. In June’s SCORE Baja 500, Broc Dickerson drove solo in an impressive second-place overall finish behind the winning Rob MacCachren.
AMPUDIA BROTHERS
Part of a popular second-gen Mexican race team, brothers Alan Ampudia, 31, and Aaron Ampudia, 29, both of Ensenada, Baja California, will easily be among the favorites in the very loaded SCORE Trophy Truck class in SCORE Baja 400.
The brothers share the driving in their No. 10 Papas Y Beer Ford Raptor built by ID Designs.
Following in the tracks of their famous father Rodrigo Ampudia Sr, the Ampudia brothers along with their oldest brother Rodrigo Ampudia Jr, 39, are strong contenders in every SCORE Baja race.
In the SCORE Baja 400, the Ampudia brothers finished in third place in 2019 and fourth place in 2021.
After consistent seventh and fifth-place finishes in the first two race of 2022, the Ampudia brothers are currently third in 2022 SCORE Trophy Truck Season point standigns.

After opening the season with a 20th place finish followed by a podium third place finish, the 26-year old-twins have too many business commitments and dad Steve’s first choice for a substitute driver for the SCORE Baja 400 was the young gun Cayden MacCachren.
There is considerable family history as Rob MacCachren teamed with Steve Sourapas for several years in domestic U.S. races, winning several races and two season point championships and a season second-place along the way.
Cayden MacCachren will be driving solo in the No. 219 Sourapas’ Coors Light Herbst/Smith-built Ford truck in the ultra-competitive Trophy Truck Spec class. Christian Sourapas is currently fifth in SCORE season points in his class after finishes of 20th and third place.
