Collins gets No. 1 draw in Baja 500

Friday, May 11, 2001 | 9:29 a.m.

Brian Collins, a 38-year old Southern Nevada developer, and Johnny Campbell, a 30-year old full-time racer from Southern California, have drawn the first starting positions for four-wheel and two-wheel vehicles, respectively, for the 33rd annual Tecate SCORE Baja 500 desert race, to be held June 1-3 in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico.

Collins, of Las Vegas, will drive the first four-wheel vehicle to leave the starting line -- a Chevy C1500 in the featured Trophy-Truck division in Round 3 of the five-race 2001 Duralast SCORE Desert Series.

Campbell, of San Clemente, Calif., will ride a factory-sponsored Honda XR650R motorcycle in the open Class 22.

Both entries were among 180 vehicles entered in the drawing.
