Team Lynn/ Honda Win Baja 1000 T yler Lynn, Carter Klein and David Kamo from Slam Life Racing/Honda claimed victory at the 58th BFGoodrich Tires SCORE Baja 1000, dominating the 835.52-mile racecourse in the motorcycle division, a feat they achieved for the second consecutive year. Round four of the 2025 SCORE World Desert Champion - ship marked the end of the race season. For the 10th straight year, all SCORE events took place in Mexico. The SLR team lead by Lynn achieved a perfect record in SCORE during 2025, winning all four rounds in the Pro Moto Unlimited class. They crossed the finish line on the number 7x Honda CRF450X SLR/Honda with an official time of 17 hours, 55 minutes and 39 seconds. It was Honda's 34th overall victory—the most of any motor - cycle brand in SCORE Baja 1000 history—far surpassing its clos- est competitors: Husqvarna (11), Kawasaki (10), Yamaha (2) and KTM (1). "It was an awesome day," Lynn said. "Obviously, to win every round is cool, and to finish off with winning the SCORE Baja 1000 is awesome. We're stoked to be here. We're stoked on the year. We just can't thank every - one enough. It was good. I know Carter got into a little bit of rain, but we missed most of it. The weather was good for me, too— no fog. And for David, it was hot, so we lucked out. "The race was pretty tight there for the first half. So, we definitely still got some work to do to be better, but we're going to come back next year, a better version of ourselves." Arturo Salas Junior finished second overall and second in the Pro Moto Unlimited class with a time of 19 hours, 29 minutes, and 28 seconds. He shared riding duties on the number 1x Hero Racing Honda CRF450X with Shane Logan, Ciaran Naran, Jake Hogan and Corey Ham - mond. Salas said his team had to overcome many obstacles to finish second. "The race started with Shane [Logan], I started it in Falso, where he took it to race mile 170, approximately. That's where Corey Hammond went up—he's an Australian—he's the winner of Finke [Desert Race]. He took it to the end of the Speed Zone, where the Matomi wash starts. "By that time, we had already had a problem in the morning, where we ran out of lights. The lights were failing. We lost time, about 15 minutes, and when Co - rey got off, we were 18 minutes WIND IN THE P52 (L-R) Carter Klein, Tyler Lynn, and David Kamo teamed up to win the 2025 Baja 1000.
