Team HUMMER once again
demonstrated why it's one of the most successful teams in
off-road racing, as Team HUMMER driver Josh Hall piloted his H2
to its second consecutive Baja 1000 Stock Full class win at the
39th annual SCORE Tecate Baja 1000. Not to be outdone by his
son, team owner Rod Hall, piloted his Team HUMMER H3 to a 3rd
place Mini Stock class finish, securing the 2006 SCORE Mini
Stock class points championship.
Josh and co-riders (Sam
Cothrun, Reno, Nev./ Thad Stump, Gilbert, Ariz./ Sean Holman,
Huntington Beach, Calif.) completed the grueling 1,047.8 miles
of this year’s race in 26:30:45 hours, averaging a speed of
39.65 miles per hour. Hall, who drove the entire race himself,
finished more than five hours ahead of the nearest stock full
class competitor.
Hall’s victory marks his
third Baja 1000 class victory and the 11th Baja 1000 class win
for Team HUMMER. It also represents the 26th class win for the
Hall family, further securing their place as the winningest
family in Baja 1000 history.
