RENO, Nev.—Mexico’s Gus Vildosola Jr combined a second place finish with Las Vegas’ Rob MacCachren’s uncharacteristic mishap at the recent Rigid Industries SCORE Desert Challenge to catapult himself into first place in the SCORE Overall and SCORE Trophy Truck point lead after four rounds of the five-race 2014 SCORE World Desert Championship.
With tight battles in races on both sides of the border, most classes have at least two racers within 10 points for their class point lead and a total of just 30 points separate the top 10 SCORE Overall point leaders heading into this year’s season finale. Capping of another memorable SCORE racing season will be 47th Tecate SCORE Baja 1000, the iconic race that will cover approximately 1,292 miles of Mexico’s majestic Baja California peninsula, starting it Ensenada, Baja California Norte and finishing in La Paz, Baja California Sur. This year’s Granddaddy of all Desert Races will be held Nov. 11-15 to decide season overall and class point champions with competition in 25 Pro and 5 Sportsman classes for cars, trucks, UTVs, motorcycles and ATVs.
VILDOSOLA’S MARCH
Winner of the season-opener in March, Vildosola Jr, of Mexicali, as at the front of the pack in SCORE Trophy Truck points and SCORE Overall points with 300 in the No. 21 Branix Mexicana Logistics Ford Raptor.
Vildosola, who has three career SCORE Trophy Truck race wins also has finishes of seventh, 14th and second in class to move to the front of the talented SCORE Trophy Truck stable of thoroughbreds.
Vildosola Jr and his father Gus Vildosola became the first Mexican national team to win the SCORE Trophy Truck division as well as being the fastest four-wheel vehicle in the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 when they won the iconic race in 2010 when it was a peninsula run from Ensenada to La Paz.

But another peninsula run over an extremely rugged course of approximately 1,292 miles still awaits their challenge.

Leading the points after the second and third rounds of the 2014 SCORE World Championship, MacCachren, 49, a two-time SCORE Trophy Truck season point champion with 11 career SCORE Trophy Truck race wins and eight SCORE season class point titles, has slipped to fifth in SCORE Trophy Truck points after an accident on the first lap caused irreparable damage to the No. 11 Rockstar Energy MacCachren Motorsports Ford F-150 and he could finish the first half of the Rigid Industries SCORE Desert Challenge. MacCachren was unable to finish the first half of the two-day race and was the second-fastest during the second half, but was considered a did-not-finish for the race which pushed him back in the standings.
