The 2015 SCORE Baja 500 was as good of a race as any we have ever seen! 23 Pro UTVs would line up to take on this years epic race with only 11 of those actually finishing. It was long, rough and hard as is always the case south of the border.

After 13 hours of non stop racing it would be Wayne Matlock in his Jimco built Polaris RZR XP1000 who would cross the line first. Not far behind him was the 1932 Jagged X RZR of Brandon Schueler. Derek & Jason Murray in their Murray Motorsports Can-Am Maverick Turbo would cross the line in 3rd. After review, SCORE would hand out penalties causing the 1932 Jagged X RZR to be bumped to 4th, moving the 1917 Murray Motorsports Maverick into second thus placing Michael Cafro in his Polaris RZR into the 3rd position. Jagged X is still awaiting notification from SCORE on where the infractions occurred.

It was an amazing display of speed, prep and navigation by Wayne Matlock and his team. They earned a well deserved win!

Congratulations to everyone who took on the race. Thank you to each and every team who represented UTVUnderground.com, we can’t thank you enough!
