By all accounts, the MasterCraft Racing / Rockstar Energy Drink team was going to be a force to be reckoned with at the 2010 Tecate SCORE Baja 500.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. “That is why we race,” explained a sage Robbie Pierce, CEO of MasterCraft Safety. “If we already knew who was going to take home the victory, it wouldn’t be very exciting. The unforgiving and challenging Baja peninsula always has a way of keeping things interesting, and that is one of the biggest appeals of desert racing.”
