MALCOLM SMITH TO DRIVE KORE HEMI® IN 40TH ANNUAL BAJA 1000

San Diego, California – Kroeker Off Road Engineering is proud to announce that when the KORE Dodge Ram powers off the starting line during this year’s 40th Annual Baja 1000, it will be driven by none other than Motorsports Hall of Fame inductee Malcolm Smith. 40 years ago, Malcolm Smith took first place in the inaugural Mexican 1000, the first of his six wins in the premiere North American Desert Racing event. From the Six-Day trials of Europe to the sands of the Dakar rally, Malcolm’s name has become synonymous with off road racing.

“We’re really pumped about this,” said Kent Kroeker, the owner of KORE. “Malcolm has been my hero ever since I was a young boy. To race with him is an unbelievable honor for me and everyone on our team.”

Also driving for KORE’s Team Desert Assault® will be four time Baja 1000 winner Darren Skilton, 2004-2006, CODE 1X plate holder Rodolfo Iribe, the original Extreme Skier Glen Plake, and Marine Corps Harrier pilot John Zambie.

“None of this would be possible without the tremendous help of our sponsors,” said Kroeker. “Thanks to Mopar Performance, Fox Racing Shocks, Toyo Tires, Baja Designs lights, AEM intakes, Weld Wheels and Nordskog Gauges – and all the hard work of our friends and volunteers, we’re going down to Baja 100% prepared for this race.”

As always, Malcolm said it best, “I’m not going down there to race; I’m going down there to win!”

During the race on November 13th, track the KORE Desert Assault® in real time from your home computer.
