The roar of 900+ horsepower engines signaled the start of the SCORE Trophy Trucks for the 3rd SCORE Baja 400 Presented by VP Racing Fuels. With Luke McMillin starting first followed by Bryce Menzies, racers in this class knew the pace would be fast and that they would have to take more chances on the course to be able to stay within passing range of these two top competitors. McMillin got a flat around race mile 70, allowing Menzies to pass and take the lead for the rest of the race. There were some issues with the Stella system so Menzies wasn’t always showing up on the SCORE Live Tracking, but visual spotters reported he was in the lead. “We started out pretty smooth, just trying to chase Luke (McMillin) down,” said Bryce Menzies. “And then from there, we just held him behind us with about a two and half-minute gap and just wanted to keep him there in case we had any issues to be able to get out in front of him again.” Read More
As with any SCORE Baja race, it's ultimately anyone's to win. No matter how fast or conservative you are, it still takes luck, skill, and a vehicle that can survive the harsh course. In this class, some racers prefer to push their vehicles to the limits, risking everything for a win, while others lay back like predators, waiting for an opportunity for a competitor to make a mistake, and pounce ahead for the win.

Among the field of SCORE Trophy Truck racers, there was no doubt in their minds that delaying the race for 24-hours was a wise choice. The changes it caused on the course, however, was something they couldn’t have anticipated and it had a significant outcome for many of the top teams. Starting the field was Ryan Arciero who teamed up with Dan McMillin in the number 32 Herbst/ Smith Levi’s truck. They were first on a course where the conditions were much different than what they had previously pre-run weeks before. “The weather this year put the race on a completely different level,†said Arciero. “Some of that water was so deep and the mud was so bad. I have seen a lot of SCORE Baja 1000’s and I’ve never seen anything like this.†Read More
