SCORE 2015 Schedule Release
September 6, 2014
2015 SCORE World Desert Championship schedule announced
Five-race series for cars, trucks, UTVs, M/Cs, ATVs will feature 4 SCORE Baja races, 1 SCORE USA race;
Entire 2015 SCORE World Desert Championship series to be televised by CBS Sports Network
RENO, Nev.—SCORE International announced today its official five-race schedule for the 2015 SCORE World Desert Championship series featuring four
races in Baja California, Mexico and one in the United States.
The biggest changes for the 2015 race season will be the season opener, SCORE San Felipe 250, now starting mid-January, the all new addition of
the SCORE Baja Sur 500 race in April and the SCORE Imperial Valley 250 now taking place in September.
“It is truly the dawn of a new day in SCORE and the SCORE World Desert Championship series is having a significant impact in the world of
motorsports,” said Roger Norman, CEO and President of SCORE International. “Mexican races are the cornerstone of SCORE and to have our first event
entirely in Baja California Sur will add another colorful chapter to the SCORE Baja racing legacy.”
SCORE has also announced that final negotiations are being completed to again televise the entire SCORE World Desert Championship series
nationally on the CBS Sports Network and internationally through syndication.
Norman continued, “With the diligence and creativity of BCII TV, SCORE has a viable domestic television package this year with the CBS Sports
Network as our partner and our international syndication platform. When we finalize our 2015 television package it will continue to move SCORE up the
visibility ladder with viable and sustainable programming.”
SCORE International will be celebrating its 42nd year as the world’s foremost desert racing organization in 2015 with a five-race series that
will feature competition for 25 Pro and 5 Sportsman classes for cars, trucks, UTVs, motorcycles and ATVs.
2015 SCHEDULE
Launching the 2015 SCORE World Desert Championship series schedule will be the first of the three original SCORE Baja races:
Round 1 will be the 29th SCORE San Felipe 250, Jan. 22-25 in San Felipe, Baja California, Mexico.
Round 2 will be the inaugural SCORE Baja Sur 500 on April 16-19. Marking the first time a SCORE Baja race has been held entirely in Baja
California Sur, it will be a point-to-point race starting in Cabo San Lucas on the southern tip of Baja and finishing in Loreto on the east side of
the peninsula along the Sea of Cortez.
Round 3 will be the 47th SCORE Baja 500, June 4-7, in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico.
Round 4 will be the 3rd SCORE Imperial Valley 250, Sept. 24-27 in Plaster City, Calif., USA.
Round 5 will be the 48th SCORE Baja 1000, Nov. 18-21. The most recognized name of all desert races, it will start and finish in Ensenada, Baja
California, Mexico.

Agreed. Bring back Laughlin. Don't need two B500's. Logistics in Baja Sur is a nightmare.

Maybe 'Best In The Desert' is a better series for you, as there is NO races in Baja for them. Vegas to Reno, Parker 425, Henderson 250... It is the
choice for the buggy our son preps and co-drives.

While it sounds like a fun race, I'm curious to see how many teams show for the Cabo-to-Loreto race. Logistically challenging to say the least.

Added plus for 2015.. You can miss one race, and still be racing for the SCORE championship..

Baja Sur 500 could be prerun down, prep/fix in San Lucas. Then race North to Loreto with chase trucks tagging along. Load up & drive back.

There may be fewer regular racers from the U.S. in the Baja Sur 500 but the locals will most likely add up to more entries overall, especially the
bikes. Coming off a Baja 1000 to La Paz in Nov. some may not want to go back to race in April.

I heard that the NORRA race will be April 25-29. That will make for a really fast turn around to run both.
