Drawing from years of desert racing experience, this Prescott, Arizona-based competitor has established himself as a consistent podium contender in SCORE's premier desert racing series. Roberts earned back-to-back third-place class finishes at the legendary SCORE Baja 500 in both 2019 and 2021, demonstrating remarkable consistency in one of off-road racing's most challenging events.
The historic Baja 500, celebrating over five decades of desert racing heritage, has been the proving ground for legendary racers like Ivan Stewart, Larry Roeseler, and the McMillin family. Roberts joins this distinguished lineage of competitors who have conquered the punishing Baja Peninsula terrain that has tested countless racers since the sport's inception.
His dual podium performances at the Baja 500 showcase the technical precision and endurance required to excel in SCORE competition, where mechanical failures and navigational challenges eliminate many competitors before the checkered flag. Operating from Arizona's high desert terrain, Roberts benefits from ideal training conditions that mirror the demanding rocky sections and high-speed desert corridors that define Baja racing.
These verified achievements position Roberts among the accomplished racers who continue to write new chapters in SCORE's storied racing legacy.
Within the SCORE Lites class, there were a total of 10 competitors who took on the 466-mile course, but only six finished. Among them was Matias Arojna IV and his family in the No. 1202 car, who ultimately hung on to finish and win the class. The win was some vindication for a disappointing DNF in San Felipe, but one that still had its difficulties to achieve. " It was a really nice day for us,†said Arojna IV. Both my dad and I got to drive some fun sections. I blew a corner and a shock absorber at the beginning, but after that, we had a perfect race. Despite the fact that we raced more than 400 miles without our front shock, it was a great day." Read More
