Two teams prepare and race in the worlds most demanding and dangerous motorsports event, the Baja 1000.  In a way it’s a classic tale of the “haves and have nots.” The “haves” are represented by racing legend and multi-time off-road champion Rod Millen and his full factory backed team.  The “have nots” are represented by the Necessarys.  Kevin Necessary and his band of misfits are doing it on their own with no help from anyone and having a ton of fun along the way.

Off-road racing legend Rod Millen and his MillenWorks race team enters their Toyota FJ Cruiser with full factory support in what many consider to be the toughest race on the planet.

Millen is synonymous with rallying, off-road racing, and the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. In the Mickey Thompson Off-Road Racing Series, he became the only driver in the 12-year history of the series to win three consecutive Grand National Sport Truck titles. Millen is also the current record holder in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb with an overall time of 10 minutes 4.6 seconds, set in 1994 in an all-wheel drive Toyota Celica Turbo. He claimed five overall Pikes Peak Championships and eight class championships.

The second team, also piloting a Toyota, will be led by amateur driver Kevin Necessary and his crews of misfits. The team is entering the event for the very first time. Furthermore, they are on their own; with no help from anyone.

Two very different adventures … both ending at the finish line.
