If the 466-mile course was brutal enough for some of the vehicles with lots of suspension and horsepower, it was that much tougher for the 5-1600 class competitors.

After more than 18-hours of driving, Medina and his team won the class. Their final time was 18:42:25 and averaged 24.91 mph on the course. Aiding Medina were co-drivers Ramon Fernandez, Antonio Espinosa, Alejandro Medina Jr., Mario Carrillo Haro, and Abraham Saldate. Read More
