Fresh off a commanding Class 7 victory at the 2024 King Shocks SCORE San Felipe 250, this 59-year-old Paradise, California native continues to demonstrate elite-level competitiveness in desert racing's most challenging venues. The recent San Felipe triumph adds to an impressive podium streak that showcased exceptional consistency across SCORE's premier events.
His 2022 campaign proved particularly stellar, earning a hard-fought second place class finish at the legendary SCORE Baja 1000, followed by a podium-worthy third place class at the historic SCORE Baja 500.

This veteran competitor's recent achievements reflect decades of desert racing experience, positioning him as a formidable contender in one of motorsports' most demanding disciplines.
