The saga of the legendary Baja 1000 Overall Champions list begins none other than J.N. Robers and Malcolm Smith in 1967, finishing the first Baja 1000 aboard their mighty Husqvarna motorcycle in 20 hours and 48 minutes. The duo beat the Meyers Manx VW buggy of Vic Wilson and Ted Mangels by nearly seven hours (27:38). This year's 40th running of the desert off-road race, Honda clinched its 18 victory for the race, raising its record win with Steve Hengeveld, Robby Bell, Kendall Norman and Johnny Campbell behind the handlebars of the Honda CRF450X (24:15:50). Mark Post, Rob MacCachren, Carl Renezeder teamed in their Ford F-150 Trophy Truck for the overall four-wheel win (25:21:25), bringing Ford into a tie with Chevrolet for overall wins at six a piece. Chenowth VW sits in third at five overall victories.
