People come from all over the United States and beyond to race, party, and spectate with us here in Vegas – and we’re thrilled that we can share off-road racing with them by hosting the most historic and challenging race in professional off-road racing.”
The 2014 General Tire Mint 400, will take place Saturday March 15th in Jean, NV just South of Las Vegas. The racing will begin with the “Limited” vehicles at 6:00am and continue with the “Unlimited” race beginning at 1:00pm. The race for both classes will run late into the night and into the following morning. This year’s Mint 400 will feature the largest spectating areas of any off-road race – specifically designed to highlight the capabilities of the incredible off-road racing vehicles.
