Johnny Campbell has been a force in American and Mexican off-road for decades. Setting the standard for Baja competition's elite, Campbell has continued to grow champions with Johnny Campbell Racing as it's pilots take on the biggest races in North America.
With the rise of Honda's interest in Dakar Rally competition, Campbell was called in early to get to work developing the bike, and riders, that could help Honda win the toughest race in the world once again.
We sincerely enjoy every conversation with Johnny Campbell we can get. The man is incredibly level-headed, intelligent and has more racing craft than anyone in the sport we can think of.
Getting Campbell's insight into Ricky Brabec's impressive rise to the top, the challenges of getting a Dakar bike to the finish line (even after millions of dollars are spent to do so) and more are a real treat.
And, we chat about his own Dakar experience from the early 2000's (he finished 8th!)
Enjoy this conversation as Campbell loads up and heads to Saudi Arabia.
