Metzger head’s up a BFGoodrich team that includes fellow FMXer Cowboy Kenny Bartram and Baja veterans Tracy Jordan and Bud Bruntsman
CORONA, Calif., (Nov. 9, 2006) – Monster Energy-backed Mike Metzger will take his crowd-drawing show on the road – and off the road – next week when he and fellow FMXer Cowboy Kenny Bartram team up with veterans Bud Bruntsman and Tracy Jordan to race the king of all off-road races, the legendary SCORE Baja 1000, for the BFGoodrich Tire Team.
Paired up with Bruntsman, who founded and produces the Learning Channel’s Overhaulin’ program, Metzger will run the Ensenada to La Paz race in a Baja Challenge Class buggy.
“I’ve done some cool events and wild freestyle maneuvers in my time on the bike, but nothing is going to compare to the Baja 1000,” said Metzger. “We’re going to be bouncing through the desert in the pitch dark at times, with only a map to lead us. BFGoodrich has been generous enough to give us this once-in-a-lifetime experience, so me and Bud hope to make them proud!”
BFGoodrich is gunning for its 21st consecutive victory at the Baja 1000 – an unprecedented winning record for off road racing’s most famous and prestigious race.
“The BFGoodrich Team is fortunate to have such talented athletes on our side down in Baja yet again,” said Joe Mazur, light-truck category manager, BFGoodrich Tires. “The Bruntsman-Metzger and
Jordan-Bartram pairings, combined with all the other teams competing in every other class, BFGoodrich should be well-represented at the award ceremony.”
