Ivan Stewart And Sal Fish selected as 2018 Grand Marshals For golden anniversary of 50th BFGoodrich Tires SCORE Baja 500 Seems definitely fitting for a golden celebration of a major desert race that launched the World’s Foremost Desert Racing Organization, that the Grand Marshals for the 50th BFGoodrich Tires SCORE Baja 500 would be a racer who won his class a record 17 times, and the former CEO/Owner of SCORE who helped give the race its legendary status. Ivan ‘Ironman’ Stewart has gladly accepted the invitation to be the Co-Grand Marshal of the race that earned him the most admired nickname in all of desert racing. Sal Fish, is the desert racing promoter who owned and ran SCORE International for 38 years and will be the Co-Grand Marshal with Stewart. Both Grand Marshals will play an active part of the celebration of the popular early summer race when it is held this year from May 30-June 3 in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico as Round 2 of the internationally-televised four-race 2018 SCORE World Desert Championship. Both men are Off-Road Hall of Fame Inductees and have contributed to off-road motorsports and SCORE International’s history over the years.
