and it's not the bosses
and the employees.

:27:07
I mean, we're all just a bunch of people
:27:09
trying to have fun and enjoy life,
and we're doing it.

:27:12
He's had to miss a couple because
of health reasons, but you know what?

:27:15
Take one race at a time,
and the next race he was back.

:27:17
My body thinks
my brain's gone crazy.

:27:21
The McMillin with
the most championships is Mark.

:27:24
He's also one of the most successful
drivers in the history of the Baja 1000.

:27:28
But it's been 14 years
since his last victory.

:27:30
There's ups and there's downs.
:27:32
But something that I've always taken from
my dad and I'm trying to give to my boys

:27:37
is you never, never, never give up.
:27:40
Whether it's at work,
whether it's racing,

:27:43
or something you're trying to accomplish
at home with your family,

:27:45
we just never, ever, ever give up.
:27:48
Mark McMillin got off to a fantastic start.
Roaring through the first 80 miles.

:27:53
But once again. Bad luck struck.
:27:55
At Ojos Negros he'd have to change
his entire transmission.

:27:58
Way too early. Way too early.
:28:01
It'll be a long day. We'll get a finish
out of it, that's for sure.

:28:05
And off the line in Scott McMillin's
buggy was a rookie driver.

:28:08
His 16-year-old son Andy.
:28:10
Ever since like I was two or three years old,
I used to go pre-running with my dad.

:28:14
I started driving a clutch when I was
probably six or seven years old.

:28:17
I had a lot of trust in him as we, you know,
developed our relationship driving

:28:22
and just taught him
what I learned from my dad.

:28:24
At first Andy had
a little problem staying on course.

:28:29
Watch it. Remember. There's
a hole here. Remember? Stop.

:28:33
Here. Go this way. Stop!
:28:36
I think about it,
and I think when I have a kid,

:28:39
I'm never gonna have like
the trust that he has in me.

:28:41
Now take your time.
Take your time doing it.

:28:43
But he settled down.
:28:47
Go. You're running
with the big dogs. Boy.

:28:51
The trust that Scott had in his son
was well deserved.

:28:54
After a couple of wild rides early.
Andy had gotten it together

:28:57
and was in first place in his class
when he turned it over to his father.
