Traverse City, Mich., May 2, 2014 – Radar Tires, Mike Johnson and Mike Majesky were the runner-up Class 10 finishers at the SCORE International Imperial Valley 250 on Saturday, April 26. This result marks the third SCORE International Class 10 podium for Bronson Motorsports and fourth SCORE Class 10 podium for Radar Tires over the past two seasons. Official results were delayed in order for SCORE International to compile data to determine final results of the race.
Radar Tires’ second place finish with Majesky and Johnson was seventh overall, only behind four Trophy Trucks, one Class 1 buggy, and Class 10 winner Mike Lawrence. In March 2013, Johnson and Majesky finished third at SCORE San Felipe 250. Then in June, Johnson won the SCORE Baja 500. In March, Cody Robinson and Roberto Romo won the SCORE San Felipe 250 Class 10 race.
Johnson and Majesky, co drivers of the Bronson Motorsports No. 1031 Radar Tires Buggy started from the 16th position in Class 10. Majesky hit the three-lap, 82-mile course like a man on a mission.
His mission: race to the front. Mission accomplished. As he crossed the start/finish line to start the second lap, Majesky was physically third on course in Class 10. According to tracking and scoring, he was running first on corrected time with a three minute lead on the Class 10 field.
Running strong and pulling away from the field, Majesky approached the start of the third lap, this time he was second on course, with a seven minute lead on corrected time.
The Bronson Motorsports team originally scheduled a pit stop for the end of the second lap. Since Majesky had a solid lead, the team opted to keep him in the buggy since he was very familiar with the course having done two pre-runs earlier in the week and just completed two race laps.
Approximately 30 miles into the third and final lap, Majesky hit a rock which punctured the left rear tire. He changed the tire and that seven minute lead vanished. Majesky was running second when he turned the buggy over to Johnson for the final half lap. Johnson ran the remainder of the race and finished in second place and seventh overall.
“Radar Tires has been in two SCORE races this year and we have a win and a second place finish,” said Scott Rhodes, Vice President of Sales for Omni United North America. “It is great to see Mike Johnson and Mike Majesky back on the podium. The Imperial Valley 250 was a rocky race, literally, and our Radar Renegade tires battled the elements and only suffered from one flat tire among the three Class 10 buggy teams running them. Majesky raced from the back of the field to first in 80 miles, which is a testament to the tires, racing equipment and driver skill. We’re thrilled to have another SCORE podium finish.”
