Monster Energy-Backed Johnny Campbell Wins The 2008 SCORE International Tecate 250

Monster Energy’s Campbell teams with Robby Bell to win the grueling contest in the unforgiving San Filipe (Mexico) terrain

CORONA, Calif (March 17, 2008) – Monster Energy-backed Johnny Campbell and his JCR teammate Robby Bell won the overall Open Pro bike class at this past weekend’s SCORE International Tecate 250 in San Filipe, Mexico.

Rockin’ the Monster Energy helmet aboard the factory Honda-backed CRF450X, Campbell’s widely-known Baja expertise turned the difficult San Filipe terrain into a golf course as he led the team to a 13-minute victory over fellow Honda racer Steve Hengeveld (4:08.32 to 4:21.15).

“This win was amazing,” said Campbell. “It was the first win for me a team owner. I put a lot of pressure on myself and my expectations are high. And that’s when being a Monster Energy athlete really helps – when you are wearing multiple hats and you still have to perform at a top level.” Note: The win for Campbell was his ninth SCORE Tecate Baja 250 victory with Bell.

In addition to racing in Baja, Monster Energy’s Campbell had a JCR team running at the WORCS race in Lake Havasu (Calif.) and commuted by private plane between the two races.

“It was a Monster weekend for us,” said Campbell. “A BIG Monster weekend.”

Next up for Monster Energy’s Campbell on the SCORE International circuit is the May 30-June 1 Tecate Baja 500.
