Building on his championship success with another dominant performance, this North Tustin racer secured his second consecutive class victory in Pro UTV Forced Induction at the 2023 BFGoodrich SCORE Baja 1000 Presented by K&N, cementing his status as one of the premier forced induction pilots in desert racing. The 43-year-old's commanding win followed his earlier second-place podium finish at the 2023 SCORE Baja 500, demonstrating remarkable consistency across both of Baja's most prestigious events.

This latest championship adds to an impressive resume that includes multiple podium appearances, including his standout second-place class finish at the 2020 SCORE Baja 500. Racing alongside co-driver Derek Murray in their Can-Am Maverick X3, the team has established themselves as formidable competitors in the ultra-competitive Pro UTV Forced Induction class. Their fourth-place finish at a previous Baja 1000, despite mechanical challenges including a broken A-arm at Gonzaga Bay that cost them two and a half hours, showcased the team's resilience and mechanical expertise under pressure.

Known for his calculated approach and technical precision, Murray continues to be a driving force in the evolution of UTV desert racing, consistently delivering championship-caliber performances on the peninsula's most demanding courses.
