PORTLAND, Maine --- NBC Sports will air the November running of the 2006 SCORE Baja 500 & 1000 on Saturday, Dec. 2 and Sunday, Dec. 10.

Produced by Aura360, the one-hour specials hosted by Emmy Award winning sportscaster Al Trautwig will feature point-to-point coverage of the off-road races. The programs will focus on the top overall finishers and competitors in the 28 Pro and six Sportsman classes.

NASCAR fans will be sure to enjoy the coverage of November's legendary SCORE Baja 1000. The team of Robby Gordon and Andy McMillin captured the overall and SCORE Trophy Truck victory.

Gordon started the race and went about halfway down the peninsula before handing the truck over to McMillin, boarding a helicopter and then a jet to get to Miami for the NASCAR season finale. The duo's total time was second overall, at 19 hours, 15 minutes and 27 seconds, 54.41 mph. The win is Gordon's third in the Trophy Truck class in the Baja 1000.

This year's Baja 1000 had a race-record of 431 starters and 234 finishers from 38 states and 12 countries.
