Matlock Racing has
taken yet another SCORE victory, winning Class 25 of the 42nd annual
Baja 500. The punishing desert race was held June 5 in Ensenada,
Baja, Mexico.
Riders Wayne Matlock, Josh Caster and Wes Miller conquered the 439-mile course in 10:24:35 hours. "Our
race went just as planned,” said Matlock. “We had the leader in our
sight for most of the first half. At the halfway point we were neck and neck,
and came into our pit for a scheduled tire and rider change. With fresh tires
and a fresh rider, we charged into the lead and never looked back. At
the end, we beat second place by over 50 minutes. I attribute a lot
of our success in Baja to Maxxis tires and the fact that we can push so
hard through the rough terrain and not worry about tearing up the
tires."
In all desert racing conditions, Matlock Racing equips its Honda
TRX700XX with 22x10-11 Razr rears and 23x7-10 Razr fronts.
Defending champions from 2009 and currently first in the 2010
points standings, Matlock Racing also won
the first SCORE race of the year, the San Felipe 250.
Maxxis
congratulates Wayne Matlock and team thanks them for choosing the brand of
champions.
