Building his legacy in the unforgiving desert terrain of Baja California, James Justin Shultz has established himself as a formidable force in SCORE International desert racing. The Lake Forest, California native captured the coveted SCORE Baja 500 championship in the Pro Moto 30 class in 2021, conquering the grueling Ensenada desert course that has broken countless competitors over the decades.
Shultz's victory in the Baja 500 represents the pinnacle of achievement in one of desert racing's most demanding disciplines. The Pro Moto 30 class attracts some of the sport's most skilled veterans, making his championship triumph a testament to both his riding prowess and strategic racing intelligence. His success came during a particularly competitive era in SCORE motorcycle racing, where technical precision and desert survival skills separate champions from the field.
Operating from Southern California's racing hub, Shultz has positioned himself among the elite motorcycle competitors who tackle SCORE's legendary peninsula races. His championship pedigree reflects the dedication required to master Baja's notorious terrain, from technical rock sections to high-speed desert washes. With his proven ability to handle the physical and mental demands of long-distance desert racing, Shultz continues building his reputation as one of Pro Moto 30's most accomplished champions.

James Justin Shultz took the No.308x Pro Moto 30 team to the team’s first win this season. The team's Rider of Record was Greg Bardonnex who led the team to a second-place finish in San Felipe. In this race, the 308x team had co-riders Ryan Liebelt, Jason Parsons, Chane Shorno and Morgan Crawford put in a stellar effort for the team. "The course was good. Most of it was the same old trails as usual, but they used a couple of new ones that hadn’t been used in years," said Crawford. "We got to go 100 miles an hour down a road for like nine miles straight, and that was fun. We’re in for the championships until the SCORE Baja 1000, so we’re definitely coming back for the SCORE Baja 400– and hopefully with the same guys." Read More
