Biography

Racing out of the challenging Baja Peninsula terrain he calls home, Kevin Sanchez has established himself as one of SCORE's most consistent podium contenders. His breakthrough 2021 season showcased elite-level performance with back-to-back second-place class finishes at both the SCORE Baja 1000 and SCORE Baja 500, demonstrating remarkable consistency across desert racing's most demanding events.

Sanchez's dual podium achievements in 2021 represent a rare feat in SCORE competition, where mechanical failures and treacherous terrain typically prevent such sustained excellence. His second-place finish at the legendary Baja 1000 highlighted his ability to navigate the grueling 1,000-mile course while maintaining competitive pace throughout the multi-day endurance challenge. Following this with another podium at the historic Baja 500 cemented his reputation as a driver capable of performing under the intense pressure of Mexico's premier desert races.

Operating from his Ensenada base provides Sanchez with intimate knowledge of Baja's unforgiving landscape, giving him crucial advantages in race strategy and terrain navigation. His proven ability to extract maximum performance from his equipment while maintaining the reliability necessary for race-winning results positions him as a formidable competitor in future SCORE World Desert Championship events.
