“SCORE continues to build the operational and marketing assets of the SCORE World Desert Championship and our 2021 schedule will include the SCORE Baja Triple Crown races along with our newest race—the SCORE Baja 400,” said Jose A. Grijalva, President/Race Director of SCORE Int’l. “Mexican races are the cornerstone of SCORE and to have all four races south of the border for the sixth consecutive season and sixth time in SCORE’s long history is a distinct honor and a wonderful privilege. We welcome the challenge to continue to add to the illustrious SCORE Baja racing legacy. And finishing the iconic SCORE Baja 1000 in La Paz always attract racing extremists from around the world.”
