#8 Trophy Truck of Roger Norman. Roseler
charged hard and took the lead over Pete
Sohren early on and never looked back. Roseler
handed the truck over to teammate Norman
and Norman charged hard to the finish maintaining
the lead. This is the first win for the
duo this year and you can be certain they
will be a team to watch at this years SCORE
Tecate Baja 1000.
Brian Collins will finish
on the podium in the second spot behind
Norman.

finisher physically as BJ Baldwin comes

BJ Baldwin
Running After Changing Tranny
5:45 PM
- BJ Baldwin is moving again one lap down
after changing a transmission. Baldwin must
start his last lap before 7:30 in order
for SCORE to allow him to take the checkered
flag.
4:56 PM
- Roger Norman & Larry Roseler have a 14
minute lead as they head out on their final
lap. If the two can continue their pace and
run a clean last lap this could be a huge win
for Trophy Truck #8.
Armin Schwartz is also running
a strong race and pulls through the main pit
only three minutes behind Brian Collins, who's
running in 2nd physically.
Damen Jeffries in the #22 K&N
Truck follows Collins with McBeath not too far
behind.
The attrition is beginning
to set in as the leaders begin their last lap.
Leduc/ Whitton have charged hard and moved from
10th to 6th. Robbie Pierce is still running
strong but a little behind as they had a flat
and had to pull into the pit to fix the brakes.
Rob MacCachren is fighting
hard trying to make it to the front and keep
ahold of their Trophy Truck Championship. Going
into this race BJ is holds the points lead over
Riviera Racing's Post & MacCachren by 21
points. This will be huge if Rob MacCachren
can continue to move up in the field and have
a strong finish. After a few problems early
in the race Rob MacCachren has moved from 18th
position on the road to 7th as he begins his
last lap.
Garron Cadiente in the pits
with a blown motor and out of the race.
4:37 PM

changing a tranny at Pit C. Baldwin changed a transmission
at the San Felipe 250 and still finished in the

Norman/ Larry Roseler Back thru Main Pits and Heading out

3:50 PM
- Rob MacCachren, driving the #1 Riviera Racing
Trophy Truck, is on a mission to make up some lost
time as he is 20:45 behind BJ Baldwin who holds
the Trophy Truck points lead coming into this race.
With still half of the race left to go there are
many things that can happen.
3:40 PM -
Larry Roseler & Roger Norman were reportedly running
off the pace but are the first truck to come thru the
main pits. After a driver change the two are still running
strong and in the lead with the next truck of, BJ Baldwin,
running 11 minutes behind.
McBeath is only seconds behind Baldwin,
trying hard to maintain the 50MPH Speed limit going
thru main pit and not lose time on Baldwin.
In the fourth position is Pete Sohren
but gets passed by Brian Collins just before the no
passing zone. Pete will have to give it all he's got
in order to finish up top today.
Damen Jeffries, Armin Schwartz, Vanderway,
Wyllie, Todd Leduc/ Whitton, Robbie Pierce and Billy
Gasper follow.

too far before blowing the motor up. He's on the rope
being towed back to main pit and is out of the race.
2:21 PM -

dead last in the Trophy Truck division and as already
