Jose Juarez - Pro UTV Forced Induction

Jose Juarez

Chula Vista, CA - #2978

Biography

Racing out of Southern California's competitive desert racing scene, Jose Juarez brings nearly two decades of SCORE off-road experience to the unforgiving terrain of Baja California. The 42-year-old Chula Vista native has established himself as a consistent contender in the ultra-competitive Pro UTV divisions, demonstrating remarkable perseverance across multiple vehicle platforms.

Juarez's racing resume spans several SCORE International events, including the prestigious Baja 1000 and Baja 500. His versatility shines through his ability to compete effectively in both forced induction and naturally aspirated UTV categories, piloting everything from Polaris RZR XP1000 Turbos to Can-Am Maverick X3s. His partnership with co-drivers like Alejandro Zuniga has proven particularly effective in navigating Baja's challenging courses.

The racer's commitment to the sport extends beyond individual achievements, as he's become a fixture in the tight-knit desert racing community. His consistent participation in SCORE's premier events showcases the dedication required to compete at the highest levels of off-road racing, where mechanical reliability and strategic navigation are just as crucial as raw speed across hundreds of miles of unforgiving desert terrain.
