CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico
Starting his 70th birthday party a bit early, venerable veteran desert racer Rod Hall lit the candles on his celebration by earning a record 19th class win during the final hours of the legendary 40th Annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 desert race Thursday. As the final checkered flag drop early Thursday evening for the last of a race-record 239 official finishers in the 40th annual Tecate SCORE Baja 1000, it was obvious that another incredible and colorful chapter had been added to the legacy of this popular desert race down the majestic Baja California, Mexico, peninsula.
The personable Hall who lives by the adage that ‘you have to first finish, in order to finish first,’ split the
driving with his oldest son Josh who lumbered their Team Hummer H3 into the finish line just before
sunrise on Thursday, earning the Stock Mini class win and yet another chapter for his family in his
remarkable desert racing career. With 19 class wins, he is the only racer who has competed in a car or
truck in all 40 Baja 1000 races, Hall’s son Chad was also a class winner, coming in a few hours before his
famous father to win the Stock Full class in the very first race of a Hummer H3 Alpha, earning his sixth
career class win in the race. Between them, Rod, Josh and Chad Hall are the winningest family in the
history of the race with 29 career class wins.
BAJA 1000 RESULTS - Team HUMMER win STOCK MINI and STOCK FULL Classes in both H3s! The brand new H3 Alpha smoked the field. #760 beat the Toyota FJ Cruiser in one of the race's most exciting showdowns.
Rod Hall captured his 19th Class win and celebrated his distinction as the only person on 4 wheels race in all 40 Baja 1000s. Rod enjoyed his Grand Marshall duties by waving off the first trophy truck at the starting line.
2007 marks the 40th Anniversary of the Baja 1000. Film crews followed Rod and the team as they collect footage for a 90 minute documentary on Hall.
