With entries so far from 35 U.S. States, the U.S. Territories of Guam and Puerto Rico and 18 countries, this year’s Granddaddy of All Desert Races will be a peninsula run of 1226.35 masterful miles down Mexico’s majestic Baja California peninsula, starting in Ensenada, Baja California and finishing in La Paz, Baja California Sur. Starting and finishing under strict BioSecurity health and safety protocols in Baja California, Mexico, the final round of the four-race 2021 SCORE World Desert Championship race-week festivities and the Granddaddy of All Desert Races itself will be held this Sunday through next Saturday. 2021 CROSSOVER/CELEBS The legendary SCORE Baja 1000 has always attracted crossover/celebrity races to leave the pavement and hit the desert and this year’s BFGoodrich Tires 54th SCORE Baja 1000 is clearly no exception to the historical rule. Nearly 25 of the multi-discipline stars are lining up for this year’s bodacious run down the Baja California peninsula. Leading the crossover celebs this year is clearly Romain Dumas, 43, of France. A factory Porsche driver since 2004, Dumas is a two-time winner of the 24 Hours of LeMans in his homeland and is the current record holder in the Pike’s Peak Hill Climb in Colorado. He is an additional driver for this year’s SCORE Baja 1000 for driver of record Darren Skilton in Class 1 in the No. 122 Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus (SCG) that has evolved with several modifications from the original SCG that won Class 2 in both 2019 and 2020. Alexander Rossi, 30, of Nevada City, Calif., the 2016 Indy 500 race winner as a rookie is an additional driver again this year with DOR Jeff Proctor in Class 7 in the No. 709 Honda Ridgeline. Ken Block, 53, of Park City, Utah, is a profession Rally racer, action sports athlete and TV personality. He will be one of three drivers competing in SCORE Trophy Truck with DOR Alan Ampudia of Ensenada, Mexico, in the No. 10 Monster Energy Hoonigan Racing Chevy G-6 built by Geiser Brothers of Phoenix. Third driver on this ‘super team’ is young gun 16-year old Jax Redline, of Amarillo, Texas. Anyone in motorsports has heard of the ‘Mears Gang’ of Bakersfield, Calif. Casey Mears, 43, of Scottsdale, Ariz., returns to the desert after spending several seasons in IndyCar racing and 15 years in NASCAR Cup racing. Son of Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame inductee Roger Mears, Casey Mears will be an additional driver for DOR Robby Gordon, 52, of Charlotte, N.C., who himself is a celeb racer after his lengthy careers in both IndyCar and NASCAR Cup racing. They will be driving in Gordon’s No. 77 custom-built Chevy truck in SCORE Trophy Truck. Officially debuting in the desert in 2019 after years of pre-running and spectating other Mears’ family racers including his father Roger, uncle Rick, brother Roger Jr, cousin C.J. and grandfather Bill, Casey Mears was DOR in that year’s SCORE Baja 1000, finishing 12th out of 28 starters. Coming to Baja from Australia, Toby Price, 37, arguably is the most-accomplished motorcycle racer of all-time from the Land Down Under. Price, a two-time Dakar Rally overall motorcycle champion finished second overall and in SCORE Trophy Truck in the 2019 SCORE Baja 1000 as the second driver with fellow-Dakar champion four-wheel racer Nasser Al Attiyah of Qatar. In this year’s race he will be one of three drivers in Trophy Truck Spec on the team led by 2018 class point champion Bryce Swaim of El Cajon, Calif. and rising star Eliott Watson, 20, El Centro, Calif., who won his UTV class in last year’s SCORE Baja 1000.
