El escándalo se ha adueñado de la Tecate Score Baja 500, si hace una semana anunciabamos la victoria de Robby Gordon, hoy tras la publicación de los resultados oficiales por parte de Score International nos vemos en la obligación de redactar un nuevo artículo ya que cinco días de deliberaciones, posibles sanciones, presentación de pruebas, videos inculpatorios, tracks y demás, Score Internacional ha publicado los resultados oficiales de la Tecate Score Baja 500.
Robby Gordon pierde la primera posición tras recibir 100 minutos de penalización por dos hechos sancionables, el primero que le ha costado una hora y media de penalización es un repostaje realizado en una zona no autorizada. Aunque el repostaje fue correcto, no fue así con la ubicación del equipo de asistencia: en plena carretera abierta al tráfico. Robby, siguiendo el recorrido de carrera sale de la pista de tierra y entra en la carretera asfaltada que, aun siendo parte del recorrido, esta abierta al tráfico rodado y con la velocidad limitada a 60 Mhp a los vehículos participantes. Al poco de entrar en la carretera se detiene en medio de la misma y su equipo realiza un repostaje. Al realizarse en la carretera se considera ilegal con lo cual recibe la primera penalización. Poco después supera la velocidad máxima permitida y recibe la segunda penalización de 10 minutos. Con estos cien minutos desciende a la séptima posición de la carrera. La prueba del delito es este video donde se observa perfectamente el repostaje
El ganador oficial de la prueba es Rick D.Johnson seguido de Nick Vanderwey el único de los quince primeros que no ha recibido ninguna penalización. El tercer clasificado es Roger Norman.
A continuación os detallamos la clasificación de la carrera con los resultados oficiales y oficiosos así como las penalizaciones recibidas.
