Rob MacCachren said: “It is a good feeling. My first
overall SCORE Baja 1000 win was in 2007 to Cabo and the
feeling I got winning that race was second to none. We
had a flawless day with 854.50 miles of the most brutal
desert in Baja. We had over 80 people down here helping
us with this race. We had 11 chase trucks and four fuel
stops and lots of people at home rooting us on. It was a
really good day. When we were first on the road we had an
alternator wire that had broken off so we had to get that
fixed. That put us down for about nine minutes. After that
we were fourth on the road and we started working our way
back up. Around mile 475 the Riviera truck (No. 3 Mark
Post) and one of the Herbst trucks (No. 91 Troy Herbst)
was still in front of us but they pulled over to pit so
we went on by. I gave the truck to Jason at mile 498.
He was first on the road from there and just nailed it.”
