Baja 500 racer breaks down but wins in the end

An American racer who competed in the Baja 500 has a story to tell.
Mike Steel didn’t win the race - his Class 11, Baja bug broke down - but he won in the end.
Class 11 Volkswagen bugs are one of the most brutal vehicles to run in the series of Baja desert races because they are required to be mostly stock.
Last week’s Baja 500 was the first time Steel, and his team called Idiot Racing, had participated in a Baja 500 race.
Steel only made it about 50 miles before he broke down around sunset.
Steel and his co-driver headed back to Ensenada to grab a trailer to tow the race car. When they returned, the Baja bug was nowhere to be found.
