Terrible Herbst Motorsports wins Pit Crew Challenge again With record effort to start SCORE Las Vegas Terrible’s Cup II

LAS VEGAS–The Terrible Herbst Motorsports pit crew won its second straight SCORE Terrible’s Pit Crew Challenge Thursday night at the Fremont Street Experience and trimmed more than four seconds off its record in the process.

The Herbst crew, a group that driver Ed Herbst said “has been with us forever,” changed four tires and restarted the engine in 48.50 seconds to take the $5,000 winner’s purse and lead a Las Vegas sweep of the top three places.

The SCORE Trophy-Trucks of Bobby Baldwin and son B.J. Baldwin and crewed by a team from Collins Racing finished second and third, respectively. Bobby Baldwin’s stop took 50.97 seconds and B.J. Baldwin’s took 58.75 seconds Bobby got $3,000 and B.J. $2,000.
It was B.J.’s second straight third-place finish.

The Challenge, which was open to the crews of all the SCORE Trophy-Trucks entered in the SCORE Las Vegas Terrible’s Cup II. That event, on a man-made stadium course that simulates the natural terrain of Baja California and the Southern Nevada desert, will be run Friday and Saturday nights on the Dirt Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Racing will begin at 7 p.m. both nights.

Ed Herbst will do the driving in the Ford F-150 SCORE Trophy-Truck he shares with brother Tim in the long-distance desert races. Tim, meanwhile, will replace brother Troy Herbst in the team’s Class 1 vehicle, Troy having suffered a torn Achilles during a recent recreational basketball game.

The results:
1. Ed Herbst, Las Vegas, Ford F-150, :48.50 seconds;
2. Bobby Baldwin, Las Vegas, Chevy Silverado, 50.97;
3. B.J. Baldwin, Las Vegas, Chevy Silverado, 58.75.
