BJ Baldwin is a Motocross driver who joined the sport because of an early love for motor vehicles. He is a 7 time national off road racing Champion and driver of the #97 Monster Energy Trophy Truck. ^[undefined] He started racing in February of 1997 with a Chenowith Class 12 car (VW engine). ^[undefined]

He says two people ultimately changed my racing career: Larry Ragland and Robby Gordon. Ragland was the first person to offer serious help, he says (mainly his car control and placement skills). They ran the road from Trinidad over the mountains to the coast prior to the 2004 Baja 500. ^[undefined]

Toyo Tires and Monster Energy are his two main sponsors. Baldwin has had cities shut down for trick races through the streets. Some of these cities include Ensenada, Mexico and Tacoma, Washington. ^[undefined]
