Mitsubishi Raider Truck Triumphs in the Prestigious 39th Annual Tecate Score BAJA 1000 - November 15-18, 2006
In a race that was determined the closest finish in Pro Stock Mini class history, the Mitsubishi Baja Raider roared to victory by a margin of 33 seconds over the factory Toyota FJ Cruiser (driven by Rod Millen). The race was ultimately settled over the last 20 miles and included a dramatic, late-stage collision between the Toyota FJ Cruiser and Mitsubishi Raider in an aggressive attempt by Millen to take the lead.Últimately, the Raider's consistent performance, steady pace race strategy and the proven mettle of Fresh - who drove all but 25 minutes of the race himself while other entries used two or three drivers - made this a 'driven to thrill' triumph for the Raider as well as the Mitsubishi brand.
'This race was a truly amazing moment and well-deserved win for Mitsubishi Motors and the race-prepped Raider,' said Jun Asami, Vice President, Marketing, Mitsubishi Motors North America. 'We are proud of both the tenacity of Dan Fresh and the performance of this outstanding Mitsubishi vehicle.'
