“Ballistic” BJ Baldwin wins the Parker 425!
BJ Baldwin wins Parker 425!
The Best in the Desert Parker 425 started in 1972, known then as the Norra Dam “500”, by 1974 the race had evolved to the Parker “400”, and continued to develop into one of the premier off-road races on American soil. Taking place along the banks of the Colorado River, the race features time trials pitting racers against the clock in a short dash for start position. The 140-mile loop features some of the most challenging terrain in America including sandy whoops, rocky washes, high speed graded roads, silt beds, and the crowd pleasing ” Parker Python” a spectator friendly winding infield section of the course.
On Thursday despite being 77th car to start qualifying BJ had a solid qualifying run finishing 4th setting him up for a dust free first lap. The weather also worked in the favor of racers with frequent light rains dust would be much less of a factor than previous years. The race started at daybreak on Saturday February 6th as the vehicles rocketed out of downtown Parker off-into the treacherous Arizona desert. BJ was off to a good start keeping a constant pace, pressuring the top race field. On lap one BJ had a quick-release mechanism fail causing the spare tire to fall off the rear of the truck. Shortly their after BJ received his one and only flat while in the dust passing a fellow competitor. The tire held up until the truck was at 126 mph on fence line road. By lap 2 BJ had gained position on time but kept steadily moving up. By lap 3 BJ had the lead both physically and on corrected time.
“Ballistic” BJ Baldwin won the grueling race in domination fashion finishing 19 minutes ahead of the nearest vehicle and 39 minutes ahead of the next trophy truck. Shaking off a rough 2009 season BJ had this to say about the victory; “It feels great to be back on top of the podium. We had a great race with very little problems. The truck ran great and we came prepared. We had some radio issues after we knocked our antenna off, but other than that we ran pretty much problem free. I was just trying to be steady and let the race come to me. It was hard to not push hard the whole time. There was a lot of good competition, but I just tried to run my race and not worry too much about any body else. I have to thank my crew, my sponsors, and all the fans who came out to see the best racers in off-road do battle. The champ is back!”
BJ Baldwin’s next race will be the Mastercraft Safety Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250 March 12th – 14th

Robby Woods runs fastest lap and hangs with the front runners at Lucas Oil Off-Road Series in Lake Elsinore, CA
Robby Woods charged the field at the Lucas Off-Road Racing Series Round 5+6, at Lake Elsinore Motorsports Complex managing not only to challenge the front of the pack, but to run the three fastest laps of the weekend. The young upstart has already been on the podium this year managing to battle his way to a 2nd place finish at the Surprize, AZ race. Sporting new sponsorships from Lucas Oil’s Slick Mist and General Tire, Robby came out swinging finishing 5th on Saturday and breaking on Sunday while in 2nd place.
Saturday
Robby started 9th and immediately attacked the field working his way up to 5th by the 3rd lap. Then when he battled Jerry Whelchel for 4th, Robby lost oil pressure and was forced to retire. The issue was caused by damage incurred during a rollover during practice. Robby managed to shake it off and come out and finish 5th in the combined Unlimited 4 + Unlimited 2 race, making him the first Unlimited 2 to the checkered flag.
Sunday
Robby started in 6th position, but immediately moved up to 5th. By lap 3, Robby had moved to 2nd and held position for seven of twelve laps. Robby fell back to 5th after making a slight mistake in turn one causing him to lose his momentum. Robby fought his way back up passing Carl Renezeder, Bryce Menzies and Jerry Whelchel to get back to 2nd and on the heals of race leader Greg Adler. During a full course caution caused by Jerry Whelchel’s crash, Robby’s electrical system caught fire taking him out of the heated race. Only his 7th off-road race of his young carrier, Robby left an impression on the 6,000 plus crowd gathered to witness the no-holds barred spectacle of short course off-road. The message he sent was simple “ I am here to win and race as hard as I can.”
Robby had this to say about the effort; “We not only ran upfront until we had mechanical, issues but we ran the 3 fastest laps of the weekend. I think this proves I am going to challenge the podium at every race.”
“I really want thank all my sponsors, especially Slick Mist and General Tire. They really helped me get here. The General’s worked great. I also want to thank my family, friends and fans, they all have a part in getting me out to every race,” stated the enthusiastic Woods.

Tire testing with BJ Baldwin
We just got back form tire testing with BJ Baldwin and General Tire. Two days of some of the roughest, nastiest locations the Nevada desert has to offer. The funny thing was the only flat we got was on my truck and it wasn’t a General. We shot some amazing footage on a Red Camera and the HVX for a upcoming General Tire project. Keep your eyes open, this project is going to be sick!
