Christopher Polvoorde, the 2025 SCORE International Baja 1000 overall champion, has joined the team at BFGoodrich Tires and will make his debut at the Baja 500, June 3-7, company officials stated in a press release.
“Joining the BFGoodrich family is a milestone moment for me,” Polvoorde said. “This brand has been part of off-road racing since long before I started, and to be partnered with them is something I won’t take lightly. I’m grateful to the team at BFGoodrich for backing my program, and I’m ready to put the work in to make this partnership count.”
Coming off his third straight King of the Hammers Desert Challenge victory, Polvoorde has turned his attention to the SCORE schedule, noted the release. He finished fifth overall at the San Felipe 250 in March and has a title to defend at the Baja 1000 in November.
Polvoorde and his No. 94 OPTIMA Batteries/Red Bull AWD Ford Raptor built by Mason Motorsports are currently in Ensenada for the 58th running of the Baja 500, where he will attempt to make his first SCORE race with BFGoodrich the 107th overall SCORE victory for the brand.
“We’re proud to welcome Christopher to the team, and we’re eager to see what the future holds for him and for BFGoodrich Racing,” said Raymond Cotton, North American motorsports director for BFGoodrich. “It’ll be great to see BFGoodrich Tires Baja T/A KR3 tires on the No. 94 Trophy Truck for the Baja 500 and have Christopher be an integral part of our winning tradition.”
Polvoorde joins a group of BFGoodrich Trophy Truck racers including Rob MacCachren, Luke and Dan McMillin, Ryan Arciero, Adam Householder, Justin “Bean” Smith, Steve and Jack Olliges and the Terrible Herbst team.
