"Ballistic" BJ Baldwin takes first at the BITD BlueWater Desert Challenge

At the inception of this exciting race, Baldwin took home second place, firmly marking his position as one of the top drivers.  But Baldwin didn't stop there.  On day two of the treacherous course, Baldwin shouldered past his competition to take first.

"The newly designed racecourse for the BlueWater Challenge was nothing short of thrilling," said Spencer Robinson, events coordinator, General Tire.  "BJ hit the course with the same ferocity he always does, and he came out on top.  BJ is remarkably talented and it's an awesome experience to see him tear up a course like he did here in Parker."

Unlike any other Best in the Desert challenge, BlueWater spans a 30 to 35-mile loop with one central pit for all drivers.  The central pit - the famous Parker 425 Main Pit - was strategically placed by both the start and finish lines.
