Following a 12th-place qualifying effort, Mikey Childress fought through a course that over time; became rougher and tougher to navigate. The California-native worked his way through traffic to finish third in class 1 and sixth overall with a time of 7:37:51. A solid start to the season for the Team GT veteran. 
In an environment notorious for destroying equipment and drivers’ will, La Paz Racing has found the secret to success in the desert. “Drive the vehicle you have, not the vehicle you wish you had,” La Paz driver Tim Casey shares. This philosophy has provided Casey with not just a rock solid finish rate, but an unprecedented nine class victories in the last two years, including SCORE International’s 2010 Baja 500. Most recently La Paz Racing won Best In The Desert’s (BITD) Henderson 250 to secure the Class 8100 title for the second consecutive season.
