    So confused on your 2 posts Dan^
    I completely agree they need to stay off the track, and maybe not crowd it close enough to get hit! With that being said I agree with him bumping him, but I feel like he waited to long to give him a bump to say GTFO. By the time he bumped him the guy was already getting out of the way.

    People are getting this clip and the Robby Gordon clip mistaken. Also this wasn't a Tacoma it was a Dodge Dakota.

    Did anyone see BJ Bladwin's comment on Facebook about the crash? It has since been taken down..

    "It's all fun and games until we drive through you.

    Let this be a lesson. Please for your own safety stay off the race course. These races are sometimes won by seconds, we do not have time to fuck around. I'm sure I'll get some hate from this video and that's fine but I believe our boy @apdalylopez, #‎Baja500 race winner, did the right thing here. I've done this before and I would do it again.

    Let there be no confusion, we will destroy your personal vehicle in pursuit of that $29 dollar Baja 500 trophy, then go home and sleep like a baby.

    We love Baja but for your safety, please, stay off the race course.

    No one was harmed in the destroying of this pickup truck although I'm pretty sure they all blew their spokes out when they shit their pants. Lol."

    It's a closed corse for the race not patrolled anybody can be on the road technically but it only takes one dumb ass to get in the way that's like being on the autobahn in the fast lane in a prius
