Las Vegas, NV - #569
Fresh off a strong showing in the grueling SCORE desert racing circuit, this Las Vegas-based competitor has established himself as a formidable force in Class 5-1600 competition. His crowning achievement came at the 2017 SCORE Baja 1000, where he secured a hard-fought second place finish in the legendary 1600cc VW Baja Bug class, demonstrating elite-level competitiveness in one of off-road racing's most demanding events.
Racing alongside co-drivers Bryan Johnson, Danny Sanchez, Steven Fuentes, and the Garcia father-son duo of Ruben and Ruben Jr., Savedra's team #569 completed the punishing 1000-mile Baja peninsula course in 38 hours and 13 minutes. The podium finish came after battling through 12 starters in a class known for its mechanical challenges and unforgiving terrain, with only six teams ultimately crossing the finish line.
This achievement represents years of dedication to SCORE's premier desert racing series, where split-second decisions and mechanical reliability often determine victory or defeat. Savedra's second-place finish at the Baja 1000 showcases his ability to compete at the highest levels of desert racing, where international competitors converge to test their skills against Baja's legendary challenges.
