    Rob MacCachren Will Start First At Vegas To Reno

    2017 Race-Dezert BITD Vegas to Reno Coverage

    The longest offroad race in America is now officially underway as 54 unlimited vehicles qualified this afternoon to see who would start first at the 2017 Best In The Desert Vegas To Reno race.

    BITD setup the qualifying loop out at Apex once again in the same area as The Mint 400 time trials but changed it up a bit on the drivers by giving them a qualifying course with a few sections not used in a few years.

    Rob MacCachren was the last driver to qualify as the team had to work on the truck in between the parade lap and his scheduled run. Even though he got the roughest course compared to all the other drivers he would walk away with the pole position finishing with a time of 4 minutes and 58 seconds.

    Top 10 Qualifiers
    1. Rob MacCachren
    2. Bryce Menzies
    3. Jason Voss
    4. Tim Herbst
    5. Kyle Jorgensen
    6. Troy Herbst
    7. Justin Matney
    8. Todd Pedersen
    9. Brett Sourapas
    10. Anthony Terzo
