He returned strong after health challenges earlier in the season. The win also marks Polvoorde\u2019s first Trophy Truck Baja 10000 victory. The duo started the race on the pole position and never looked back.\r\n\r\n\u201cIt's just something I've been dreaming of for a long, long time. I've never won a SCORE race, so to win a SCORE Baja 1000 as the first one is pretty awesome,\u201d said Polvoorde.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_14480\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"640\"]<img class=\"size-large wp-image-14480\" src=\"https:\/\/dirtsportsworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2025-SCORE-Baja-1k_SLR-Win-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/> The SLR team won the overall motorcycle victory at the SCORE Baja 1000.
