TEAM BLUE C WAHOO'S MONSTER ENERGY KAWASAKI READY FOR TECATE SCORE BAJA 1000
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. - October 27, 2009 - The Tecate SCORE Baja 1000, it is the longest point-to-point off-road race in the world, challenging the
endurance of a racer's body and mind as they charge through the wilds of an untamed landscape, known to the world as "Baja." This year, a new team of
open desert racing stalwarts have joined forces to form Team Blue C Wahoo's Monster Energy Kawasaki, and the group has one common goal in mind, win
the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000.
Under the direction of former AMA Speedway Champion and Hall of Fame inductee, Bruce Penhall, who is widely known for his role as Officer Bruce Nelson
on the popular television series "CHiP's," Team Blue C Wahoo's Monster Energy Kawasaki is led by three-time SCORE Baja 1000 champion, Robby Bell, who
also brought the coveted 1X number plate to the team. Multiple AMA Hare and Hound Nationals champion and ISDE gold medalist, Destry Abbott, along with
five-time Baja 1000 champion Steve Hengeveld and Penhall's sons, Ryan and Connor, are the foundation of the impressive cadre. All have chosen to ride
the Kawasaki KX450F motorcycles as the brand makes its return to SCORE Baja 1000 competition.
"Blue C Advertising is proud to have a part in featuring the cornerstone of our agency at the signature event for off-road racing," said Eric Morley,
principal of Blue C Advertising. "We are passionate about off-road racing because it provides opportunities for our clients to integrate in an
environment that relates well within their core audience."
Eschewing from traditional conventional motorsports teams, this diverse group of racers also intends to give back to the people of Baja California,
Mexico by donating 1000 cans of food and supplies as part of a special relief project organized by a consortium of passionate off-road enthusiasts
including; Marty Fiolka from Dirt Sports Magazine, Nick Baldwin of the AOK organization (AOKnick.org), Wahoo's Fish Taco owner, Wing Lam, Blue C
Advertising counterparts, Eric Morley and Jeff Bentley, and Jim Riley from Azunia Tequila. The relief project, which was spearheaded years ago, is
intended to help support the villages and farms of Baja California, Mexico who's incomes have been affected by the lack in tourism as a result of the
recent news emanating from the drug related violence occurring in Mexico's border towns.
"We're stoked to be a part of this team and to be giving something back to the citizens of Baja California Mexico," said Lam. "The people of Baja have
opened their lives and their hearts to all of us for so many years and we owe it to them to return the favor."
Another important highlight to the effort is a new reality series surrounding the Penhall family that is currently in production for the Discovery
Channel. Appropriately named "Racing with the Penhall's," the series is being produced under the executive direction of Peter Kaikko, who has served
as creator and executive producer for such popular series' as "Beauty and the Geek" and "For Love or Money." The series will chronicle the life and
times of Penhall's racing family while following Team Blue C Wahoo's Monster Energy Kawasaki as they prepare to tackle the formidable terrain of the
Tecate SCORE Baja 1000.
Nearly 275 entries are projected from more than 34 states and 12 countries, competing in 28 Pro and 7 Sportsman classes for cars and trucks, plus
additional classes for motorcycles and ATVs will take part in this year's Tecate SCORE Baja 1000. It's the oldest and most well known of all desert
races, and it remains the single most appealing accomplishment for any racer. Since 1967, the granddaddy of all desert races has been run over the
mysterious Baja California peninsula every year except 1974 when the international fuel crisis forced a cancellation. This year's SCORE Tecate Baja
1000 will be televised on NBC Sports December 19th, 2009 2:00-3pm ET and 11am-12noon PST.
