Hall, who will turn 68 on Nov. 22, will drive in Stock Mini. Bishop, 63, is the only individual who has run all 38 races on a motorcycle. This year, Bishop will co-ride in the over 250cc Class 22 motorcycle class on a team led by Beau Hayden. Hall is the all-time winningest racer in this event with 18 class wins and Bishop has one class win and is a member of the AMA Hall of Fame.

OVERALL STREAKERS:
Committed to extending their overall winning streaks are unlimited Class 1 legends Troy Herbst/Larry Roeseler and motorcycle superstar Johnny Campbell. Herbst, who has four class wins in this race and Roeseler, who has 14 class and 12 overall (10 on a motorcycle) wins, will be attempting to become only the first Class 1 (unlimited open-wheel desert race cars) team in the history of the race to earn three consecutive overall wins. They are tied with Mark McMillin, who won back-to-back titles in 1983 and 1984. In SCORE Trophy-Truck, Larry Ragland won three straight in 1995, 1996 and 1997 in Chevy trucks. Parnelli Jones won back-to-back overalls in 1971 and 1972 in a Ford Bronco. Campbell has nine straight overall and Class 22 motorcycle wins and is teamed this year with Robby Bell and Kendall Norman.

SCORE points are determined both on final finishing position and number of vehicles which started the race within the individual class. After four events, just 40 points separate the top 10 SCORE point leaders for 2006. The team of Troy Herbst/Larry Roeseler has earned 296 points and they are the overall point leaders and lead Class 1 as well in their Smithbuilt-Ford.

The $12,000 Toyota True Grit purse is split among the SCORE season point champions who are also Toyota Milestone award winners in several non-factory-backed classes. A total of 22 drivers are still eligible for Toyota Milestone awards and 10 of those are still in the hunt for class titles and an equal share of the Toyota True Grit purse.

SCORE TROPHY-TRUCKS:
A race-record of nearly 40 SCORE Trophy-Trucks are expected to take the green flag. The marquee SCORE racing division featuring 800-horsepower unlimited production trucks includes cross-over drivers in addition to the talented field of regulars and a very close point’s race for the season championship. Eight of 12 previous season point champions are entered and 61 of 77 SCORE Trophy-Truck race winners are represented as well along with seven of the previous 12 SCORE Trophy-Truck winners in the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000. Las Vegas brothers Ed and Tim Herbst are the winningest team in the history of the class with 11 race wins in the No. 19 Terrible Herbst Motorsports Ford F-150, while second is Larry Ragland, Cave Creek, Ariz., with nine. Ragland is racing this year with veteran Brian Collins of Las Vegas, who has three wins in the No. 12 Collins Motorsports Chevy Silverado.
