Menzies drove the entire 473.67-mile course solo, with no relief driver.
“It started out pretty good and then I earned myself a flat,” Menzies said at the start/finish line back in Ensenada. “It set ourselves back a little and then we had to put a little charge on, which was fun at the beginning. We caught back up to Alan and he had an issue, he was pulled over, and Luke was about two and a half minutes ahead, so I knew I had a long way to catch him. I ran up in his dust up and over the Summit and then he started to slow down a little bit, I think he had an issue.
Ampudia eventually dropped out of the race with mechanical issues and McMillin took a long while to limp to his pit and get a new power steering pump swapped into his Chevy 1500.“It was a rough day, definitely not our best one,” said McMillin, who has won the last three Baja 1000s, the last two San Felipe 250s, and numerous other SCORE desert contests. “We were up front, just cruising along and doing our thing.
By the time the new pump was in, McMillan was “in the very back of the pack.” Regardless, he carried on to a sixth-place finish. “We just started charging through the desert and made up a lot of time, but then I hit a rock. We did the rest of the race on three brakes and ended up losing fourth and fifth gears. We had a little bit of everything , but the power steering pump issue was extremely disappointing. It’s just a reoccurring issue for many of us. Every race is a learning experience, so we’ll try and take what we learned and apply it in the next race.
