"You don't have to get old just because you've been around a long time," said Hall. "There are other things I can't do much anymore, but I can still sit in a driver's seat and make this thing go down the road." In the Baja Challenge Class, Brad Lovell, along with co-drivers Kyle Tucker, Bill Weber Rich Minga, and Brian Finch, managed to finish first and take home the win. "I couldn't be prouder of all the guys that put this together and we faced a lot of adversity out there," said Lovell. "We had some big mechanical issues and we all worked together.
