Biography

Nick Lanning represents the true spirit of grassroots SCORE desert racing, bringing Texas grit to the brutal Baja peninsula. Based in Beaumont, Texas, this determined competitor has carved out his place in the ultra-competitive Pro Moto 30 division, where riders over 30 years old battle across hundreds of miles of unforgiving desert terrain.

Lanning demonstrated his resilience and determination at the historic 50th BFGoodrich Tires SCORE Baja 500, where he piloted his Honda CRF450X through the grueling 542-mile course. Racing alongside teammates Kevin Gravett, Ryan Morgan, Dr. Sloan Hilderbrand, Allen Colic, and Kyle Parry, Lanning's team 365x completed the legendary race in over 20 hours of non-stop desert warfare, finishing eighth in their class.

The Louisiana native's commitment to SCORE racing extends beyond individual achievement, as he consistently assembles strong multi-rider teams capable of handling the extreme physical and mental demands of Baja's most challenging terrain. His participation in milestone events like the Baja 500's golden anniversary showcases his dedication to off-road racing's most prestigious series, where mechanical preparation, strategic planning, and sheer determination separate finishers from the desert's casualties.
