The Southern California construction industry remains in the doldrums. And violence in Mexico is still a problem.
Despite that double dose of bad news, officials of SCORE are looking forward to a strong Baja 1000 off-road race Nov. 19-22 to complete the 2009 season.
More than 275 entries are expected for the 42nd edition of the desert classic, which will start and finish in Ensenada for the 20th time.
The star of the show will be NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Robby Gordon, who leads the overall and TrophyTruck points races going into the 673-mile season finale.
For the past decade, Gordon has run SCORE events when his NASCAR schedule permitted. This year, breaks in the NASCAR schedule enabled Gordon to run in three of the first four SCORE events. H skipped the Sept. 12 Sprint Cup race in Richmond, Va., to compete in a SCORE event at Primm, Nev.
Gordon won that race to widen his SCORE points lead going into the Baja 1000. Gordon will fly from Ensenada after finishing the 1000 to compete in the NASCAR season finale at Homestead, Fla.
Gordon's win at Primm gave him two wins, a second and a seventh in SCORE's first four races this season.
“Prior to the start of this year's SCORE series, we made a decision to run for the TrophyTruck point championship,” said Gordon, who won the title in 1996.
“We are fulfilling that goal and being the overall points leader is a big bonus. We really have our Chevy CK-1500 dialed in.”
Gordon, 40, is an owner-driver in both the SCORE and NASCAR series
