TOPEKA, Kan. (November 9, 2012) – Two Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ National Champions took their Runoffs gold medals and are trading them in on a wild week of off-road racing as part of BFGoodrich Tires/Wide Open Excursions “Baja Challengeâ€� team for the 45th anniversary Tecate SCORE Baja 1000, Nov. 14-17.
Showroom Stock B National Champ Luke Wilwert and Showroom Stock C winner Michael Crawford each won National Champions last September riding BFGoodrich Tires, making the duo eligible to participate in this year’s event, courtesy of the Official Tire of the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ.

Each of the remaining team members were selected as part of a fan vote on BFGoodrich Tires’ Facebook page to award Team BFGoodrich members the seats. Team BFGoodrich is an exclusive group of racing enthusiasts, including on- and off-road drivers and car builders.
