Rob MacCachren will be starting the 2010 Griffin King of the Hammers on Friday February 12, 2010.

For 28 years, Rob MacCachren has been racing in the open desert. MacCachren has accumulated 5 SCORE Baja 1000 victories and another 5 SCORE Baja 500 wins. He was heralded as the premier driver after winning the longest distance (1296 miles point-to-point) SCORE Baja 1000 ever held in 2007. The multi-disciplined championship racer has accumulated over 150 victories and numerous championships between closed short course and open desert racing. In 2008, he was named DirtSports Magazine Driver of the Year.

“I don't see the challenge in this race as the desert section, but more the technical rockcrawling sections that I have limited experience in. However, we are going to be practicing over the next few months with some of BFGoodrich's pro rockcrawling racers. These guys will really help in accelerating the learning curve,” said MacCachren.

In 2009, Rob MacCachren is racing the three premium desert racing series SCORE, BITD and SNORE. He is also racing in both the The Off Road Championship (TORC) and Lucas Oil Off Road Series (LOORS) short course racing series. “He is a legend in the sport of off-road racing. He can drive anything, anywhere, at anytime and excel at it,” said Jeff Knoll of Hammerking Productions. “Its fantastic that he has chosen King of the Hammers to add another notch in his championship belt.”
