FULLERTON, CA. – Yokohama Tire Corporation-sponsored off-road racer and Trophy Truck veteran Cameron Steele, along with his Desert Assassins teammates, are gearing up for the 26th Annual MasterCraft Safety Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250, March 10, in San Felipe, Mexico.

Steele will be racing down Mexico’s beautiful Baja, California peninsula in his 800-horsepower truck mounted with newly developed, 40-inch Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S® R tires, specially engineered for extreme off-road conditions – much like San Felipe’s tough terrain.

“The San Felipe course is the roughest race of the year and is perfect for our Geiser Brothers Trophy Truck and 40-inch Yokohama’s,” said Steele. “With this team, the truck and the tires, we’re looking forward to a great race.”

Also competing in the 250-mile loop race – that starts and finishes just outside of San Felipe – will be Desert Assassins teammates Brent Parkhouse and Brian Burgess, who compete in the Class 12 (SCORE Lite) division. Their buggy is fitted with Yokohama’s competition-only Super Digger® tires.
