Andy: on his web site has nothing newer than 2010: http://www.andymcmillin.com/

The family racing web site: http://mcmillinracing.com/ has 2011 news and says Luke won the 2012 Baja 500... not much after that...

Mark raced in the 2012 Dakar Rally in South America.

First trophy trucks just minutes from finish line... Robby Gordon reported to be first, but he started first so BJ Baldwin or Menzies Trophy Truck may come in after, but still have a faster time.

Our team had some injuries and broken bones today. Glad they continued on and finished. I'll post my trip report mañana if I get a moment. Back home in Oceanside after an insane weekend of fun and adrenaline.
