Fresh off his commanding victory in the 2018 SCORE Baja 500 SCORE Lites division, Gustavo Pinuelas Jr. continues to establish himself as one of Mexico's most formidable desert racing talents. The Mexicali native captured the prestigious SCORE Lites class championship at the 50th BFGoodrich Tires SCORE Baja 500, teaming with co-drivers Cesar Castillo, Sergio Salgado, and Joel Serna to conquer the grueling 542-mile course through Baja California's unforgiving terrain.
This latest triumph adds to Pinuelas Jr.'s impressive resume, which includes multiple SCORE Baja 500 class championships with victories in both 2020 and 2018, demonstrating his consistent mastery of the historic desert classic. His success in the competitive SCORE Lites division showcases his ability to extract maximum performance from limited, sealed-engine vehicles while navigating some of the world's most challenging off-road terrain.
Representing the rich Mexican desert racing heritage, Pinuelas Jr. has proven himself capable of competing at the highest levels of SCORE International competition. His victories at the legendary Baja 500 place him among an elite group of racers who have conquered one of motorsports' most demanding endurance challenges.
