It's official: Apdaly Lopez wins the 47th Bud Light SCORE Baja 500!

After SCORE officials finished reviewing tracking data, there was a change in the results but it didn’t impact the race victory, as 20-year-old Apdaly Lopez was officially named the victor of the 47th Bud Light SCORE Baja 500. Rob MacCachren remained in the second-place spot, but Jesse Jones moved up from fourth into third after Gustavo Vildosola was moved down to fourth.

Apdaly Lopez earned the win at the 2015 Baja 500.

Rob MacCahcren finished in second place overall at this year's SCORE Baja 500.

In Class 1, Cody Parkhouse earned the win and finished as the 10th overall vehicle across the finish line, competing the race in 9 hours, 32 minutes and 33 seconds.

Rob Archibald finished in second place in Class 1, while Brent Parkhouse earned the third-place spot. In Class 1-2/1600, Aaron Ampudia and Alan Ampudia took home the win. In Class 10, Peter Hajas and Kevin Selchow earned the victory with a time of 10 hours, 58 minutes and 33 seconds.

Max Eddy Jr., Justin Morgan and Ian Young won the Pro Motorcycle class aboard their Kawasaki KX450F.

In Pro Motorcycle, Max Eddy Jr, Justin Morgan and Ian Young earned the win aboard their Kawasaki KX450F, earning points for rider of record Ricky Brabec toward the season points championship. Brabec was not able to attend since an AMA Hare & Hound race conflicted with the Baja 500, and SCORE rules allow a rider or record to miss one race during the season while still being able to earn the points toward the championship. In Pro ATV, Javier Robles Jr, Josh Row and Felipe Velez earned the win aboard their Honda TRX450R.
