Well folks, my job here in Baja is done.
After a full day of chasing the super competitive Trophy Truck class, I captured my favored team's entire effort through stunning photography.
When the dust settled, the clear winner was the very talented Andy McMillin and his father Scott.
Coming in second place, was last year's winner Roger Norman in the number 8 Trophy Truck.
Bringing home another podium finish for Team General Tire, Rick D. Johnson in the #71 F-150 Trophy Truck, captured a 3rd place finish in the highly-competitive Trophy Truck class. It took Johnson 15:02 to complete the 672 mile course.
It was a very tough day for Rick. Despite leading the charge for several hours, a failing steering system coupled with a broken GPS unit prevented Johnson from holding the lead position.
Here are some shots I captured today alongside the course. Enjoy!
Rick thanks his generous sponsors for making his 2009 Baja 1000 effort possible:
