Team HUMMER Wins at Las Vegas Primm

Hall Pilots H3 to Third Consecutive SCORE Race Class Victory


DETROIT - In his first-ever running of the SCORE International Las Vegas Primm 300, Rod Hall piloted the Team HUMMER H3 to a stock mini class victory in Saturday's 148-mile race. Hall finished the race in 4:39.30 hours, nearly 30 minutes ahead of the nearest class competitor.

Hall, who remains the only driver to have raced in all 38 SCORE Baja 1000 races, has piloted the Team HUMMER H3 to a class victory in every SCORE International race in which the HUMMER has been entered. His Primm win follows decisive victories at the 2006 SCORE Baja 500 and 2005 Baja 1000. In fact, Hall's victory at the Baja 500 marked the first time since 2001 that a mini stock class vehicle finished the race.

"This was my first Primm and the H3 was a natural in this race," said Hall. "There was a lot of rough stuff for a stock truck, but the HUMMER handled it just fine."

Team HUMMER's victory at Primm also marks the 14th consecutive race in which the team has placed a HUMMER on the podium.

Team HUMMER's next stop is the Best in the Desert Racing Association "Las Vegas 300", October 14, 2006.
