NTT INDYCAR SERIES star Alexander Rossi added another winner’s trophy to his mantle and made motorsports history Friday evening as part of a class-winning team in the Baja 1000 off-road race. 709 Honda Ridgeline truck fielded by the Honda Off-Road Racing Team with team owner Jeff Proctor, Richard Glaszczak and Baja legend Steve Hengeveld, with navigator Evan Weller, to win Class 7 (unlimited V6-powered race trucks) honors in the 54th edition of the classic race. The off-road race in Baja California, Mexico, starts in the coastal city of Ensenada and finishes 1,226 miles south in La Paz. “What a wild ride this race, this event, is,” Rossi said. The victory in smooth style for Rossi and his team was a marked contrast to his first two years competing in the race. Jones won both at both Indy and Baja but didn’t finish in his only Daytona 24-hour appearance.
