1:19:00
Off-road racing is chasing rainbows.
1:19:02
It's not like Indianapolis
where if you did something,

1:19:04
you'd get something for it.
1:19:06
All you're doing down here is just
endangering yourself for the glory.

1:19:10
When you first start racing, the first thing
you wanna do is to win a race.

1:19:14
Then you wanna win a championship.
Then you wanna win the Baja 1000.

1:19:17
You want all these things.
1:19:18
And then there's gonna be some day when
you're probably gonna win your last race.

1:19:22
Probably five or six miles
from the end I kept thinking,

1:19:24
"Gosh, I wish it would go on. "
1:19:26
You know, 'cause I don't want it
to come to an end.

1:19:28
Gimme another mile.
Gimme another half mile.

1:19:29
I want this feeling
just a little bit longer, you know.

1:19:47
By race's end.
1:19:49
27 vehicles will have placed first
in their individual classes.

1:19:52
But only one will be fastest overall.
1:19:54
This is the domain of legends
like Stewart. Roeseler. Smith. And Evans.

1:19:58
And this year's winner belonged
to that company.

1:20:00
Approaching the baseball stadium.
1:20:01
His name being announced
for the seventh year in a row.

1:20:04
With a time of 15 hours.
39 minutes. And 52 seconds...

1:20:07
wanna introduce to you
the motorcycle champion

1:20:11
for the Baja 1000...
1:20:15
Steve Hengeveld
and Johnny Campbell. Steve.

1:20:18
Until you experience it,
1:20:20
you can't really explain it
'cause it's just so great.

1:20:23
It has so much mystery
and experiences

1:20:26
and the stories we get out of it,
1:20:28
and it's a lifetime of experience,
each and every one.

1:20:31
The second fastest motorcycle
was the Honda B Team

1:20:34
that included Andy Grider.
1:20:37
John Gregory
was fastest on the quad.

1:20:40
The fastest on four wheels
was the Class 1 buggy of Doug Fortin.

1:20:42
While Ryan Arceiro crossed the line
with the quickest trophy truck.

1:20:47
But the most impressive story
on four wheels

1:20:48
was that of 16-year-old Andy McMillin.
1:20:51
A high school junior who'd just gotten
his license three months earlier.

1:20:53
Andy finished second in class
and sixth overall...

1:20:57
the most impressive debut
since Robby Gordon 18 years earlier.
