Seemingly out of nowhere, Manny
Esquerra of Parker AZ, routed the field in Stock Full,
being the sole truck to complete all 10 laps in the
class. Esquerra, who's no stranger to the winners circle,
Posted a time of 2hr. 51 min. and 10 sec. on hos way to
the Laughlin victory. Esquerra's victory put yet another
Ford in the winners circle in this largely Ford dominated
event.Bob Hayley's
F-150 moved ahead of Marc Stein' s Ford in the points
chase on the strength of his 2nd place finish, vs.
Stein's 5th. The battle will carry on in Baja this coming
November, with each driver looking take the Season
Championship, and the Baja 1000 title in one fell swoop. Mike McComas finished up
in 3rd, covering 8 laps in under 2hr 36 min. While
McComas, like Esquerra, is not in the running for the
championship, his 3rd to Dave Sykes 4th, put sykes even
farther away from the point leaders, and dashing any
hopes for pulling a rabbit out of a hat in Baja. The #865 truck of Randy
Merrit pulled up the rear, completing 3 of the 10 laps in
just over 1hr 4 min. | Position | Name | Laps | Time |
