“We have been eager to bring short course racing to The Mint 400 in a more profound way than ever before, harkening back to the Mickey Thompson era,” said Matt Martelli, CEO of UNLTD Off-Road Racing. “We grew up attending the Mickey Thompson stadium races as well as desert races, and it was always a united culture. From racing at Riverside, to the LA Coliseum to downtown Tokyo, Mickey showed us that anything is possible.”
“We are looking forward to expanding our infrastructure and feature these remarkable vehicles to the massive built-in audience of The Mint 400. We’re thrilled to unleash Pro2’s, Pro4’s and more pro classes on a newly prepped short course track at the Official Start/Finish Line in Primm, NV. Get ready for some mind-blowing door-to-door off-road action, we’re excited to welcome the short course racing community to The Mint 400!” said Kilian Hamlin, Event Director of UNLTD Off-Road Racing.
