A mere two and a half minutes separated the two after 400 miles.
Bryce Menzies won his second SCORE Baja 400 in a row with a victory last weekend over second-place finisher Luke McMillin.The race was the third round of the four-race SCORE desert racing championship, with the Baja 1000 next on Nov. 15-20.
Race leader Luke McMillin's Chevy 1500 was about two and a half minutes ahead of challenger Bryce Menzies' Ford Raptor in the 400, when number-one qualifier McMillin got a flat tire 70 miles into the race. That was exactly what number-two qualifier Menzies needed. Menzies also had a flat, but his co-driver changed it in just 50 seconds, “…which is unheard of,” he said. A flat tire wasn’t the only challenge Menzies faced in the Baja desert race. “We lost our four-wheel drive at race mile 210. It tested my skills. I had to learn how to drive a four-wheel drive, then I had to re-learn to drive it with two-wheel drive.”
