LAKE ELSINORE, CA – April 10, 2019 – (Motor Sports Newswire) –  4 Wheel Parts driver Sara Price claimed her first ever podium finish at the toughest SCORE International San Felipe 250 to date. The 33rd edition was, for the first time in history, a grueling 349 miles; the Trophy Truck Spec. class was stacked with a total of 29 vehicles taking the green flag.

Fifth off the start, Price ran a consistent and smart race working her way up to 2nd by mile 30, And never looked back crossing the finish line in 6 hours and 54 Minutes placing the #204 only a few minutes behind the winner. The SP Motorsports owner is looking forward to the 3 more races of the championship. Her next stop will be at the Baja 500 in the early month of June.

‘’This was the roughest course I have yet to experience in the truck and we were on a mission to get that Win! We were smart and pushed where we could holding a very competitive pace the entire race. I’m beyond proud to cross the Line in 2nd.‘’ said Price

Waypoint Nav School Navigator Erica Sacks kicked off the SCORE season with Price for round 1 of four-race 2019 SCORE World Desert Championship. The duo came early to pre-run the course aboard SP’s Super ATV Polaris RZR Turbo S.

‘’This was one of the roughest courses I’ve ever raced in, but we put in the work and made it happen. An electrical issue left us without a GPS for 60 miles, Sara drove what she could see and we tried remembering what we could section-by-section while keeping up a fast pace.” said Sacks.
