Biography

Fresh off a commanding Class 10 victory at the 2025 BFGoodrich SCORE Baja 500, Eliott Watson continues building an impressive desert racing legacy that spans multiple disciplines and championships. The El Centro native secured back-to-back Baja 500 triumphs in 2025, demonstrating exceptional consistency in one of desert racing's most demanding events.

Watson's championship credentials run deep, highlighted by his Pro UTV Open class victory at the legendary 2020 SCORE Baja 1000, where he conquered the grueling peninsula race that separates contenders from champions. His versatility shines through his ability to excel across different vehicle classes, from the precision-demanding Class 10 buggies to the high-powered UTV ranks.

The young racer's career trajectory shows remarkable progression from his early days as a 17-year-old co-driver in the 2017 Baja 1000, where he gained invaluable experience in the unforgiving Baja terrain. That foundational knowledge has translated into multiple podium finishes, including a second-place class finish at the 2020 SCORE Baja 500.

Watson's recent dominance in Class 10 competition, combined with his proven ability to win across multiple racing disciplines, positions him as one of SCORE's most promising multi-class competitors for the current championship season.
