The top three finishers in the BFGoodrich Tires 58th SCORE Baja 500 were all within a half a minute of each other at the finish line after more than nine hours bashing through 468.7 miles of dirt-destroying desert.
This year's race was marked by intense competition, with the top three finishers separated by only a minute and a half.
The victory marks another chapter in the legacy of three generations of McMillins racing in the desert.
McMillin's win was a testament to his skill and experience behind the wheel of the No. 83 McMillin Racing AWD Mason Ford Raptor.
The racecourse proved to be a challenging one, with drivers facing treacherous terrain and unpredictable weather conditions.
Ampudia came within a minute of claiming back-to-back overall victories in the SCORE Baja 500, finishing just one minute behind McMillin on corrected time.
Despite his close finish, Ampudia was still thrilled to have taken second place and praised the competition as 'very good'.
