Menzies wins 2023 Baja 400 in Toyo Tires equipped Trophy Truck

Bryce Menzies has won the Baja 400 for the third consecutive year in his Toyo Tires equipped Trophy Truck. Menzies previously claimed the Baja 500 and Mexican 1000 Races in 2023. Toyo-equipped trucks won all three trophy truck classes: Gustavo Vildósola Sr secured another victory in the Trophy Truck Legends class, while Jason McNeil claimed top spot in the Trophy Truck Spec class. These successes translate into a commanding lead in championship points across all three Trophy Truck categories this season. Each driver is now poised to begin the upcoming SCORE Baja 1000 race in November from pole position.

Menzies started in 6th position in his #7 Red Bull / Toyo Tires / KMC Wheels AWD Mason Motorsports Trophy Truck. Gaining positions throughout the first half of the race, Menzies took the lead of the challenging 385-mile course. After losing his truck’s front wheel drive around race mile 230, Menzies was forced to rely on his seasoned experience to hold off the chasing pack. With immense determination throughout the latter half of the race, Menzies clocked a winning time of 7 hours, 53 minutes, and 54 seconds. He relied on the championship-winning Toyo Open Country M/T-R tyres to get him to the finish line.

In addition to Bryce Menzies’ third straight Baja 400 win, Team Toyo drivers have also won the Baja 500 five times and the Baja 1000 four times: Robby Gordon (2006), BJ Baldwin (2012 and 2013), and Alan Ampudia in (2019). Menzies has also won the San Felipe 250, the Mexican 1000, the BITD Vegas to Reno, and the Toyo Tires Desert Challenge at King of the Hammers.
