Racing out of the Colorado Rockies, this veteran desert racer brings decades of SCORE off-road experience to the demanding terrain of Baja California. Daniels has established himself as a consistent competitor in the highly competitive Pro UTV naturally aspirated division, demonstrating remarkable endurance and tactical racing skills across the peninsula's most challenging courses.
His racing resume includes multiple Baja 1000 campaigns, where he's tackled the grueling 1,000-mile odyssey from Ensenada through the heart of Baja's unforgiving landscape. Racing primarily in Polaris XP1000 machinery, Daniels has shown particular strength in the technical sections that define SCORE's premier events, combining mechanical reliability with smart navigation choices that keep him competitive against much larger, well-funded teams.
The Johnstown resident's approach to desert racing exemplifies the grassroots spirit that makes SCORE competition so compelling. While based far from the traditional Southern California desert racing hub, Daniels consistently makes the journey south to test himself against Baja's legendary terrain. His persistence in one of off-road racing's most demanding disciplines speaks to both his passion for the sport and his commitment to competing at the highest level of desert racing.
For SCORE’s Pro UTV racers, the course before Hurricane Kay hit the area was much different than it was on race day. While the rain had stopped about a week before the start of the 3rd SCORE Baja 400 Presented by VP Racing Fuels, sections had been washed out or became muddy. Moto and Quad classes simply went around certain muddy areas, and the SCORE Trophy Trucks and Buggies simply had enough power and tire to blast right through them. So by the time the Pro UTV classes got onto the course, there were deep pits of mud, slush, and rocks dug up by the previous classes. Read More
