His championship-caliber consistency has been evident throughout the current racing season, showcasing the skill and determination that has defined his career.
The 38-year-old racer has captured multiple SCORE Baja 1000 class championships in Class 1, with victories in both 2023 and 2022, proving his mastery of the world's premier desert race. His resume includes a 2025 SCORE Baja 500 class championship, demonstrating his ability to excel in the challenging Ensenada desert terrain. A podium finish with third place at the 2022 SCORE Baja 500 further highlighted his consistent top-tier performance in desert racing's most historic events.

This combination of driving experience and technical knowledge has contributed to his current success as a championship-contending competitor in Class 1's unlimited open-wheel category.
The BFGoodrich Tires 57th SCORE Baja 500 course was tight in some areas and fast in others. Class 1 teams had a difficult time on it, but Kyle Quinn in the No. 138 Wilson Jimco buggy made it through for the win. We spoke with Quinn about the race and his team’s performance. Read More
After a fifth-place start, Kyle Quinn in the No. 138 Wilson Motorsports Class 1 buggy, along with co-driver John Herder, had nearly no issues. At the 5th SCORE Baja 400 Presented by VP Racing, a small alternator problem was fixed quickly near the start of the race, but it was the only problem they faced. After passing the competition and crossing the finish line first, they were nearly an hour ahead of the next competitor. Read More
The most difficult part for Class 1 and Class 10 buggies during the 5th SCORE Baja 400 Presented by VP Racing, was dealing with the dust. After starting behind 31 SCORE Trophy Trucks, the race is not only to get in front of the class competition but also to get clean air. Read More
Some of the toughest and most competitive races during the 55th BFGoodrich
Tires SCORE Baja 1000 were in the buggy classes. In Class 1 seven
competitors who are equally matched not only had to out-race each other,
but also had to contend with a brutal course that took out nearly half of the
competitors. In Class 10, however, the competition was so tough, the race leaders
changed hands more often than in any other class, and ultimately came down to
the wire as to who would cross the finish line first. Read More
Despite having to replace a broken lower control arm, Kyle Quinn’s SCORE Baja
1000 turned out to be a pretty smooth race for his team as he clinched the SCORE
Class 1 win at the 55TH BFGoodrich Tires SCORE Baja 1000 Presented by 4 Wheel
Parts. It was Wilson Racing Team’s fourth win in the SCORE Baja 1000, and second
win in a row. It was also Quinn’s second win personally after a Class 10 win in 2013
with teammate Brad Wilson. Quinn’s decade-and-a-half of experience competing
in both Class 1 and Class 10 paid off nicely. He credited the team’s extensive prerunning
for their ability to find alternate lines around most of the hazardous rocks
on the course, allowing them to maintain speed and avoid major vehicle damage
problems. Read More
The rough, tight, and technical course of the 3rd SCORE Baja 400 Presented by VP Racing fuels was especially hard on the Class 1 buggies. Six of the best teams competed and all had to drive slower than their usual pace to complete the course, but not without additional vehicle problems along the way. Since the Class 1 competitors decided among themselves not to participate in qualifying, they agreed the starting order for their class would be in the order in which they entered the race. This put 2021 Class Champion Cody Parkhouse in the No. 100 Jimco buggy off the starting line first, followed by the No. 121 Jefferies Buggy of Damen Jefferies, and the No 138. Jimco Buggy of Kyle Quinn. Brad Wilson in the No. 153 Jimco Buggy would start fourth, followed by Brendan Gaughan in the No. 162 HMS Buggy and Cody Reid in the No. 168 Alumi Craft Buggy. Read More
