Biography

Building his Trophy Truck Spec legacy through dominant performances, Jeff Bader captured the SCORE Baja 1000 class championship in 2020, cementing his status among desert racing's elite competitors. The Ladera Ranch, California-based racer previously demonstrated his championship caliber with a podium-finishing third place at the 2019 SCORE Baja 1000, establishing himself as a consistent threat in the world's most prestigious desert endurance race.

Bader's competitive prowess extends beyond his championship victory, regularly earning qualifying positions among the top contenders. His third-place qualifying effort at the 2021 SCORE Baja 400 showcased the speed and precision that defines his racing approach in the highly competitive Trophy Truck Spec division.

Known for his resilience and determination, Bader exemplifies the never-quit attitude essential for SCORE desert racing success. During the challenging 2021 Baja 1000, he battled through multiple mechanical setbacks including alternator fires and steering issues, yet maintained his fighting spirit throughout the grueling peninsula run. His philosophy remains constant: "Anytime you can finish a SCORE Baja 1000, we are super happy."

This combination of championship-winning speed, technical expertise, and unwavering determination continues to make Bader a formidable presence in SCORE's premier Trophy Truck Spec competition.
