Toyota Recognizes World’s Best Desert Racers
Only 13 Racers Survived Every Mile of SCORE Desert Racing in 2010
TORRANCE, Calif. (Dec. 1, 2010) – Following the five-race SCORE Series finale on November 20, only 13 determined desert racers were able to accomplish the extremely impressive feat of successfully completing 2,122.90 miles of treacherous terrain throughout Nevada, Baja California and Mexico.
“This incredible group of 13 desert racers have accomplished what only very few racers have been able to conquer in a lifetime. It’s quite an accomplishment to say the least. These extraordinary racers should be proud of their unique accomplishment”, said Les Unger, Toyota’s national motorsports manager.
This year marks the 25th consecutive year that Toyota will present the coveted Toyota Milestone Award at the SCORE Awards Banquet. The 2010 Toyota Milestone award is presented only to those racers who finished every one of the 2,122.90 required miles in the five-race SCORE Desert Series.
The winners will be honored during the annual SCORE Awards Banquet on Saturday, Dec. 11, 2010 at the newly renovated Atrium Hotel in Irvine, California.
