Team Wins the 2010 Baja 500!
Quinn Cody leaves Honda pit two, heads for the summit in the lead.
Kendall Norman and Quinn Cody Team Win the 2010 Baja 500! The JCR Racing Honda Team of Norman & Cody took top honors in the 2010 Tecate SCORE Baja 500 in Baja California, Mexico, June 4-5 by finishing first overall in the dusty 438-mile event. With the exception of the leaders, the remaining 288 racers battled extremely dusty conditions for the 42nd running of the Baja 500.
“It was a flawless race,” said Cody. The win gave Honda its 15th overall motorcycle victory in the Baja 500, with a winning time of 8:47:00, averaging 49.96 mph on their JCR Honda CRF450X.
In the elapsed-time race, the duo edged the twin Honda CRF450X of teammates Colton Udall & Jeff Kargola by 5 minutes, 36 seconds, officially.
It was a close battle to the finish. Norman started for the team, Cody rode the middle half, and Norman finished off the last part.
“We didn’t have a single problem all day – which is pretty darn amazing, considering how tough and gnarly this course is,” Norman said. “I’m just really tired, but it feels good to be here in one piece and to get my fourth Baja 500 win.”
