I got the call up to the big leagues! I'm finally racing the Baja 500

[JoeyD23]

After 15 years of spectating, chasing, covering and providing media I finally get the chance to RACE the SCORE Baja 500!!

Thanks to Bill Schueler and Matt Parks of Jagged X, they gave me an invitation to join the team and get a taste of what its like to be on the other side of the dash and fulfill a dream!

Its something I have always wanted to do, heck I want to race all the time, but I have sacrificed to ensure I am able to cover the races for all of you guys. Its been a few years since I was able to do a desert race. I did get the chance to race WORCS one round last year and that was a blast. Getting this opportunity, you better believe I am going to make the most of it!

So will this affect our media coverage? HECK NO! We will still have Mad Media filming for us and you know we will still have our awesome photographers scouring across the Baja peninsula shooting those epic photos. It just means my story will be written from an entirely new perspective!

I can't wait to get it on in Baja! Thank you again to Jagged X!!! I can't wait!

I'm pretty excited! Last time I got to race in a desert race was the 2011 BITD Vegas 2 Reno and Bluewater Desert Challenge with Mike Lasher in his Monster Energy Kawasaki Teryx! I can't wait!

By the way you are not fat, just under tall - just saying
