San Filipe Race Report

Kicking off the 2010 Score-International Series is the San Felipe 250. This year the 30+ pro team of Javier Hernandez (Rider of Record) Mike Crawford, David Topete, & Earl Roberts, would be piloting a Nextel/United sponsored Honda CRF450X. Javier Hernandez says the team's goal for this year is to win a Pro Championship. With several other top level & factory backed teams competing in the series would be a challenge to say the least. The team's goal for this race is a top 5 finish. With a pill draw of 1st off the line (#301X) in class they were excited to take the green flag.

The team is noticeably pre-pared with several chase trucks, scheduled pit stops, visual checks, impressive bike prep, set up & strategies. Hernandez explains that each rider on the team has duties several months before events like this and takes a lot of hard work. He has recruited Crawford as the team manager, rider & to over-see the race bike preparations. "The San Felipe race course is very dangerous and really more of survival for the racers & equipment. This year is as bad & whooped out as ever" Crawford continues about how the course has been beaten in from the Baja 1000 & all the rain prior to the event.

On race day the 301x team had a consistent day. A few small set backs early and then an unexpected rear tire change at race mile 165 kept the team from top 10 overall. At the end of the day the team pulled off a podium finish 3rd in class and 20th overall. "We are happy with the finish and its great momentum going into the Baja 500. The 500 course is faster and our riders know it well, we are stoked & will be ready. Thanks to Nextel for making everything possible & stepping up big, says Crawford. Hernandez, who is healing from lower back surgery, says he will be 100% soon. Topete, was also happy with the results and is stoked for the next race.

The next event for the team will be in the 42nd annual Tecate Score Baja 500. Team Nextel will be race number 303x for the next event and friends & sponsors will be able to track them live during the race. The team will continue training and working hard to be competitive against the worlds best Baja Racers.

Thanks to all sponsors:

Nextel, United Distributing, LegPegs, Yaque, Maxima Racing Oils, RK/Excel, Maxxis, MTA, IMS, SuperSprox, Decal Works, BOR Racing, SIDI, One Industries, Heatshield Products, HotCams, Wiseco, Oakley.
