Building on a stellar 2023 campaign that saw him capture multiple class victories across SCORE's premier desert races, Faelly Lopez has established himself as one of the most consistent and formidable competitors in Pro Quad Ironman competition. The 42-year-old from San Lorenzo, California, dominated the 2023 season with commanding wins at the K&N SCORE Baja 400 Presented by VP Racing, BFGoodrich SCORE Baja 500, and King Shocks SCORE San Felipe 250 Presented by Baja Vida, showcasing championship-caliber consistency throughout the grueling desert racing calendar.
Lopez's mastery of the historic BFGoodrich SCORE Baja 500 stands as a testament to his elite-level skills, having captured multiple class championships in the legendary desert classic in both 2023 and 2022. His ability to excel in the world's most demanding off-road races extends to the prestigious SCORE Baja 1000, where he earned a second-place class podium finish in 2023 and third place in 2022, demonstrating his competitiveness against the world's best desert racers in motorsport's most challenging endurance event.
On the early morning start of the 3rd SCORE Baja 400 Presented by VP Racing Fuels, a line nearly 1/8-mile-long of moto and quad racers prepare themselves for the long 393.8-mile journey ahead of them. The dark is only illuminated by the large SCORE LED board that counts down the seconds for racers to begin the race off the Boulevard Costero, in front of the Riveria Pacifico Cultural Center in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. Their minds are all focused on getting to their next stop along the course in good time, avoiding the rocks, deep silt, ruts, and other competitors that may prevent them from getting there in the fastest time possible.
