Born In The Desert

🌵DESERT RACING HISTORY: The Year a Jeep Conquered the Trophy Truck World! 🌵🏆

Back in 1997, off-road racing legend Curt LeDuc did what many thought was impossible. He took an unlimited, fire-breathing Trophy Truck clad in Jeep Grand Cherokee bodywork and completely dominated the SCORE International series! 🏁

Sponsored by the legendary Don-A-Vee Jeep dealership, LeDuc defied the odds in a field ruled by massive Fords, Dodge Rams , Toyota and Chevys.

Today, we’re throwing it back to the legendary patriarch of McMillin Racing, Macey L. "Corky" McMillin Jr. 🏁

Long before the massive Trophy Trucks we see dominating the course today, Corky was in the dirt, building not just a racing team, but a multi-generational legacy that changed off-road motorsports forever.

For 29 seasons, Corky was the heart and soul of off-road racing, securing three SCORE Series Championships and multiple overall victories.His passion for the sport was unmatched. He literally lived and breathed racing right up until his final lap in 2005.

Decades later, his sons and grandchildren are still dominating the trophy truck class and keeping the McMillin racing dynasty flying high at the finish lines.
