SCORE JOURNAL 50 38TH SCORE SAN FELIPE 250 TROPHY TRUCK CLASSES A First For 2WD SCORE Trophy Trucks This 38th King Shocks SCORE San Felipe 250 was also the first race of the newly added SCORE 2WD Trophy Truck Class. With 17 trucks participating in this race, it was great to see some additional teams compete and strengthen the SCORE Trophy Truck division as a whole. Many veterans also joined the ranks of the 2WD class, including 2019 SCORE Baja 1000 winner Cameron Steele, SCORE Champion Tim Herbst, Steve Olliges, and many others. While these competitors also fought to finish in the top five Overall, it took the experience and teamwork of Cameron Steele and the Dessert Assassins, working the No. 16T truck pushed through a broken rear brake line fitting, to win the class. Finishing second was Chad Broughton in the No. 2T truck, followed by Tim Herbst in the No. 19T Terrible Herbst Motorsports truck. "We had one flat and I think that is what cost us the difference between first and second place," said Broughton. " We ran a smooth race, ran our own race all day. At race mile 60, we were going to do a driver switch, but since we were in the hunt, we stayed in. We stayed out of dust and tried to just be clean." "We had a good run today other than a flat tire," said Tim Herbst. "We lost a driveline about 30 miles out and had to change that. It was a fast, fast San Felipe race. It was rough and, as usual, it takes a toll on stuff."
