JCR/Honda Goes 1st and 2nd at the 2011 Baja 500

Johnny Campbell Racing gave American Honda the top two overall motorcycle finishing positions and their 15th straight Baja 500 title as Kendall Norman and Quinn Cody take the win and Honda's 16th overall motorcycle victory in the very demanding 452.84 mile SCORE Baja 500 with a winning time of 8:47:07 at 51.76 mph on a Honda CRF450X. Their times were the fastest of all vehicles on the course. This race marks the second straight overall SCORE Baja 500 race win for Norman and Cody. Norman now has five career race wins in this event in the last six years. It was the second triumph for Cody. Udall was teamed with Kamo for the first time as Johnny Campbell Racing dedicated the race to the memory of Udall's former teammate Jeff "OX" Kargola, who passed away recently following a motorcycle riding accident in Baja. During Saturday's race, the two JCR/Honda vehicles actually crossed the finish line together in what was one of the closest races in the history of the Baja 500. Early reports had the win going to the 0x bike ridden by Colton Udall and JCR/Honda newcomer David Kamo however after final data review the win was awarded to Norman/Cody. Both teams were racing identical Eric Siraton prepped Honda CRF450X's

Honda FTW

This four minute feature felt like spending four memorable days with you guys; I savored every second. When Johnny chokes up in emotion as he did while summing up this event, I am reminded of the same genuine sensitivity displayed in "Dust to Glory":

The peasant boy bravely who walked up to JC's box van smiling ear-to-ear; this young boy was draped with a jersey: "The least I could do was give him a jersey..."

Johnny's faith, love and compassion could be seen in eyes - the same here.
