Rising through the ranks of SCORE Pro Moto Ironman competition, this 31-year-old Connecticut native has established himself as one of the premier solo motorcycle racers in desert racing. His crowning achievement came in 2022 when he conquered the legendary SCORE Baja 1000, claiming the Pro Moto Ironman class championship on the grueling 1,000-mile peninsula course that tests both man and machine to their absolute limits.
Building on that success, he previously captured the SCORE Baja 500 Pro Moto Ironman class title in 2019, demonstrating his mastery of Ensenada's challenging desert terrain. That same year, he secured a hard-fought second-place podium finish at the Baja 1000, showcasing the consistency that defines elite-level desert racing competitors.
His journey into SCORE competition began uniquely as a father-son racing duo with Lawrence Janesky, making history as the first father and son to both finish the SCORE Baja 500 Pro Moto Ironman division. Working with legendary mentor Chris Haines, a multi-time AMA and Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame inductee, he has developed into a formidable Ironman competitor capable of handling the physical and mental demands of solo desert racing at the sport's highest level.
Finishing in the Pro Moto Ironman Class in the SCORE Baja 1000 is quite a feat, but winning it with the kind of race that Tanner Janesky had is truly worthy of the “Ironman” title. Read More
