Under clear skies and across 427.64 grueling miles of desert, mountain, and beach terrain, Alan Ampudia delivered a landmark performance to claim the overall win in the 6th SCORE Baja 400. Driving the No. 10 Ford Raptor for Team Papas and Beer, Ampudia crossed the finish line with a time of 8:12:29, averaging about 52.10 mph. To top off the win, it was Mexican Independence Day and Ampudia is the local Ensenada hero.
Ampudia was locked into a fierce battle almost to the end of race with top qualifier Toby Price. Price team went down with a flat tire, giving Ampudia the advantage and win. Both drivers were getting time split updates during the race that things could be close. Ampudia’s victory marks three consecutive overall wins in the 2025 SCORE World Desert Championship.
It was another victory for the Slam Life Moto team with riders Tyler Lynn and Carter Klein. The team also claims their third consecutive victory in the series.
