Building his reputation as one of SCORE's most consistent Class 1 competitors, this Long Beach-based desert racer has carved out an impressive career in unlimited open-wheel racing. His breakthrough came with a commanding Class 1 championship at the 2017 SCORE Baja 500, where he mastered the grueling 542-mile Ensenada course to claim his first major SCORE victory.
That championship success launched a remarkable streak of podium performances, including back-to-back second-place finishes at the prestigious Baja 500 in both 2019 and 2021. These consistent top-tier results showcase his ability to navigate the brutal desert terrain while maintaining the blistering pace required for Class 1 competition.
His racing versatility extends beyond the Baja 500, with notable performances in the legendary Baja 1000. Despite challenging conditions during the 50th running of the race, he demonstrated the grit and determination that defines elite desert racers, battling through mechanical setbacks to secure valuable championship points.
Behind the wheel of his Jimco-Chevy, he continues to be a formidable presence in the unlimited open-wheel division, combining technical skill with strategic racecraft. His consistent podium finishes and championship-caliber performances have established him as a respected competitor in SCORE's most demanding class.
The technical and silt-laden course of the BFGoodrich Tires 53rd SCORE Baja 500 Presented by 4 Wheel Parts was slow going for many of the buggy classes. Except for a few that managed to avoid getting stuck in the silt, getting caught in a bottleneck, or hitting a rock that took them out of the race, only about half of the racers in these classes managed to finish the 466-mile course.
