While much of the racing world focused its attention on the overwhelming overall victory of 22-year old Mexican racer Carlos “Apdaly” Lopez and his father Juan Carlos Lopez at the 50th anniversary BFGoodrich SCORE Baja 1000, for 404 other teams, individual class victories (like those taken by Casey Currie, above) and just outright finishes in what many consider one of the toughest races in recent memory were just as significant.

There were 405 total starters and 238 official finishers (58.77 percent) racing in Pro and Sportsman classes for cars, trucks, UTVs, motorcycles and quads. Racers came from 44 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, two U.S. territories and 27 countries for the elapsed-time race that covered a rugged 1,134.40-mile course. With a 48-hour time limit to become an official finisher, the course officially closed at 1:43 p.m. PT last Saturday as racing for the motorcycles and quads started Wednesday at midnight PT followed by the start of the car/truck/UTV classes at 10 a.m. PT on Thursday morning in Ensenada.

Included in the 405 official starters in the elapsed-time race were 300 cars/trucks/UTVs and 105 motorcycles/quads. The total number of entries was the third-most in the 50-year history of the SCORE Baja 1000 and the second-most in the 21 years it has finished in La Paz.

It was also the most number of finishers in the storied 50-year history of the oldest and most prestigious desert race in the world. Here are the official Top 10 and four-wheel class victories. Congratulations to all the class winners and those hard-working teams that earned an official finish in one of motorsports ultimate endurance races.
