NOVEMBER 21, 2013 – The Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 held its 46th annual motorsport competition across the Baja peninsula and over a most treacherous journey through the wild deserts and into the untamed mystique of Northern Mexico.

Baldwin completed the 883 mile event in just over 18 hours 36 minutes at an average speed of 47.5 MPH. (more…)
